Operativo provides a modular production planning and scheduling platform for manufacturing companies, replacing memory-based estimates and spreadsheets with capacity-based planning. The platform connects schedules to real machine and personnel capacity, material availability, and shop-floor progress, enabling factories to recalculate plans when priorities change. It can be deployed starting with a single pilot department and later integrated with ERP systems via APIs.

Problem
Manufacturing companies often plan production using memory-based estimates and spreadsheets, making the plan fragile at the first unexpected event. When an urgent order arrives, planners struggle to see which deliveries slip and which resources become overloaded, and material shortages are often discovered only when production is about to start.
Solution
Operativo is a modular production planning and scheduling platform that builds the plan on the real capacity of machines and people, refining cycle times with actual data collected from the shop floor. The platform links material availability to scheduled operations, allowing planners to identify critical issues before production begins. When priorities change, users can recalculate the plan with the new urgency and immediately see which orders shift and which resources become overloaded. Operativo supports a progressive rollout, starting from a pilot department or a set of critical orders, and can integrate with existing ERP systems via APIs or scheduled files once the rules are consolidated.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturing companies, particularly in sectors such as metal carpentry and bottling, including production managers, shop-floor coordinators, and plant supervisors who need to plan and monitor production on real capacity.
Features
- Finite-capacity scheduling that plans on real machine and personnel capacity rather than memory-based estimates
- Material availability linked to scheduled operations to detect shortages before production start
- Recalculation of the plan when priorities change, showing impacted orders and resource overloads
- Cycle time refinement using actual consumption data collected from the shop floor
- Modular platform with separate Scheduler, MES, and WMS modules that can be activated progressively
- Integration via API or scheduled files with existing ERP systems, with the option to start from Excel or guided order entry
