MaxScheduler

Scheduling software for manufacturers & printers

Visit MaxScheduler

MaxScheduler is a web-based scheduling application designed for manufacturers, printers, and warehouses that need to move beyond whiteboards, wallboards, or spreadsheets. It solves the problem of visually organizing and assigning jobs to people, machines, or resources, allowing users to import job data from spreadsheets, ERP, MRP, WMS, QuickBooks, and other systems to reduce manual data entry.

Key capabilities include a drag-and-drop Gantt-style graphical schedule, a list view for finding jobs, and color-coded job blocks for quick visual status. The software offers job routing for multi-step tasks, job queue management, customizable layouts, and user profiles with three roles: Scheduler, Editor, and Viewer. It is cloud-based and accessible from any web browser, tablet, or smartphone, and integrates with Zapier for automatic data sync with hundreds of apps.

The software is aimed at small to mid-sized operations in manufacturing, print shops, job shops, and warehousing. It is offered in two subscription packages: a Basic plan for single-location scheduling and an Advanced Routing plan for complex jobs. Both include four users and weekday email support. Additional users can be added on a per-user, per-month basis for Viewer, Editor, or Scheduler roles. A free trial is available, and an installed local version can be requested.
