The company calendar is integrated and free capacities, materials and machines can be viewed and assigned/moved directly. This means that service appointments can be adhered to more reliably. Plausible planning is therefore very easy, and you also benefit from optimized inventory levels, automatic sequence optimization and the multi-user function. The operation is easy to understand and intuitive, which means you can effectively increase your production and minimize your costs after a short time.
The orderbase PlanningBoard can be started directly from Microsoft Dynamics.

SaaS stands for “Software as a Service” and describes a model in which software applications are provided and used over the Internet. SaaS software is applications that are hosted and maintained by a provider. Users can access them over the Internet, usually through a web browser.
Unlike traditional software licenses, where the software is installed on the user's computers and runs locally, SaaS software is delivered over a cloud infrastructure. Users log in with their login details and only need an internet connection and a device such as a computer, tablet or smartphone.
SaaS software offers various benefits including:
- Easy Scalability: Users can easily access additional features or resources when needed as the software is hosted in the cloud.
- Cost-effectiveness: Businesses can often use SaaS software through a subscription model, which is more cost-effective and does not require a large upfront investment.
- Automatic updates and maintenance: The provider is responsible for maintaining, updating and security of the software, reducing the workload for internal IT teams.
- Flexibility: Users can access the application from any location and device, promoting flexibility and mobility.
