Swipe the schedule to explore ↔THE EXCEL PROBLEM
Excel holds the plan.
You hold it together.
A rush order breaks the week.
Everything after it moves, and you rebuild the plan by hand.
Nobody knows which orders will be late.
You find out on the day, when nothing can be moved.
The plan ignores who is on shift.
A machine looks free, but the people who can run it are off that day.
01 / THE BIGGER PICTURE
Everything connected.
Nothing planned in isolation.
A production plan is only useful when your machines, materials and people can actually make it happen.
The right people, in the right place.
Assign employees to shifts with skill coverage, working-time rules and fairness in mind. Make workforce planning part of the bigger picture.
When things change, see your options.
Explore rush orders, machine breakdowns and absences against your master plan. Compare the outcomes before putting a new plan into force.
AT A GLANCE
- Built for plants up to 100 machines
- Machines, tools and people in one plan
- Working-time rules built in
- Works beside your ERP, with CSV and API in and nothing written back
BUILT FOR THE UNEXPECTED
The plan changed.
You’ve got this.
A rush order doesn’t have to mean starting over. Try a scenario, understand the trade-offs, and choose what happens next.
Try the rush-order example- 01
Keep a clear starting point.
Your master plan is the production schedule in force.
- 02
Ask “what if?”
Explore a disruption in a scenario, with a frozen horizon to protect near-term work.
- 03
Make the next move.
Compare the outcomes. Promote the scenario when you’re ready to put its plan into force.
02 / FITS INTO YOUR WORLD
Your data.

03 / GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things
worth knowing.
Who is Werkplan built for?
Small and medium manufacturers who need to coordinate production orders, machines, tools and people. Werkplan brings production planning, workforce scheduling and what-if scenarios together.
Do we need an ERP to use it?
No. Werkplan can use data from your existing systems, or hold items, bills of materials, inventory, purchasing and sales data natively when you don’t have an ERP.
How does our data get into Werkplan?
Through CSV imports, the sales-order intake API, or native data entry. Connecting a source system depends on the data it can export and the mapping it needs; this is not a promise of an out-of-the-box connector for every ERP.
Will it write plans back into our systems?
No. Werkplan is a planning layer. Data comes in from source systems, and your production and workforce schedules are managed in Werkplan.
Can we try a change before replacing our plan?
Yes. What-if scenarios let you explore disruptions against the master plan and compare the outcomes. Promoting a scenario puts its production plan into force.
What does it cost?
Pricing is on request. Book a demo and we will walk you through it.
LESS GUESSWORK. MORE FORWARD MOTION.

a better plan.
Production. People. Possibilities. All connected.
