Built by Manufacturers, for Manufacturers

We've been in your shoes—managing production with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and endless email chains. We knew there had to be a better way. So we built it.

The Story Behind PlanBoard

We Heard the Same Story, Over and Over

As a team of technologists and operations professionals working with small and mid-sized manufacturers, we kept hearing variations of this story:

"We manage our shipping calendar in a spreadsheet that our coordinator manages and sends out via email daily."

Sometimes it was the production plan, sometimes the installation schedule, or the at-saw schedule. The coordinator might be the shipping manager, service manager, or operations manager. The tool might be a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or printed sheets.

The Real Problems We Discovered

  • Schedules changing without anyone knowing - Sales and management out of the loop
  • Version control nightmares - "Which email has the latest version?"
  • One person bottleneck - Everything depends on the coordinator
  • No visibility - Can't see capacity, conflicts, or bottlenecks
  • Hours wasted daily - Manually updating, emailing, and reconciling
  • Customer frustration - "When is my order shipping?"

There Had to Be a Better Way

We realized that modern manufacturing teams needed a solution that was:

Actually Easy to Use

No week-long training. If you can drag-and-drop, you can use it.

And That's How PlanBoard Was Born

We built the scheduling tool we wish we'd had when we were running operations. A tool that's powerful enough for complex manufacturing environments, yet simple enough to start using in minutes.
