Production scheduling
that thinks ahead.
Drag, drop, done. Waterfall scheduling that sees what every changeover costs, takes shift progress from the floor, and shows who's waiting on material, all on one live board. It runs in your browser and sits alongside the ERP you already have.

From spreadsheet chaos to a live schedule: drag and drop, downtime cascading, the optimizer and Floor View.
Everything your floor needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Twelve tools that work together, so you spend less time fighting the schedule and more time running it.
Intelligent waterfall scheduling
Move one job and every dependent operation recalculates instantly. Work that has already started stays where the floor put it.
Drag-and-drop schedule board
Reschedule in seconds on a visual timeline of every machine and every job. Pack a lane tight in one click, and undo anything.
Changeover-aware sequencing
Every press changeover is priced on the board: washups, coating chemistry, makeready. The optimizer suggests a cheaper running order, warns you about due dates, and applies it in one click.
Shift Update
At shift start, supervisors enter actual start and quantity done, in the machine's own unit. The remaining work re-anchors and everything downstream follows.
Material Status
Board, ink, plates, dies, glue and packaging, each answered by the department that owns it. A lamp on every block shows whether that machine can actually run the job.
Job Hold
Put a job on hold and it turns grey on every screen, the floor included. Nobody can produce it until it's released, and you can still drag it out of the way.
Downtime, by category
Maintenance, breaks, weekends and everything else, set once on a daily, weekly or custom cadence. Jobs extend around downtime and never run into it.
Splits, piggy-backs & kits
Split one run across two presses or cutters. Glue A + B into C once both components are done. Pack kit versions into one case during the run, in partial sessions.
Crewing for finishing lines
See the head count your placed jobs need against who's on the rotation, so you know which lines you can staff before the shift starts.
Reports that export to Excel
Late Jobs, Open Orders, Completed Operations, Machine, Held Jobs, Packout Requirements and Actual vs Planned. Every one exports to Excel in a click.
Excel, CSV & JSON import
Download a template that matches your board, fill it from your ERP, and drop it in. Run counts, rates and crew sizes come straight from the estimate.
Live Floor View
A read-only schedule for every screen on the floor. Changes stream in instantly with no refresh, and departments mark their material from it.
Works alongside virtually
every ERP system.
AzerView sits next to your existing ERP, not in place of it. Your estimate stays the source of truth for run counts, rates and crew sizes, and AzerView sequences the work. Bring jobs in by Excel, CSV or JSON.
Don't see yours? If it exports to Excel or CSV, AzerView can read it.
From spreadsheet to schedule in three steps.
Import
Fill the template from your ERP (item numbers, quantities, run counts, due dates) and drop it in as Excel, CSV or JSON.
Schedule
Pick the first stage's date and the later routings follow. The engine sequences dependencies, routes around downtime and prices every changeover.
Track
Shift Update takes what really ran. Late and at-risk jobs surface on their own, and Actual vs Planned shows where the plan drifted.
One move, full recalculation.
When the press goes down or a rush order lands, every dependent operation downstream shifts automatically. No spreadsheets to rebuild. No phone calls to the floor. The schedule stays honest, and so does the due date.
- Automatic dependency sequencing across multi-step routings
- Durations come from your estimate's run counts and per-machine rates
- Started work is never relocated: the plan bends around the floor
- Undo/redo on every change, so you can experiment without fear
See what every changeover costs, then cut it.
Set the figures for your own presses (ink washups, AQ↔UV coating chemistry, makeready) and AzerView puts a changeover chip on every block that pays one. The optimizer looks at a press's queue, proposes an order that changes over less, and tells you before any job would miss its date.
- Changeover chips drawn right on the board
- Costs built from your plant's own settled figures
- Suggested order with due-date warnings, applied in one click
Schedule around maintenance, not despite it.
Repeating downtime is part of the scheduling engine, not a sticky note on top of it. Set it once and AzerView routes every job around it, on a daily, weekly or custom cadence. You plan against your real capacity, not your theoretical capacity.
- Four categories: Maintenance, Break, Weekend and Other
- Jobs extend around downtime rather than collide with it
- Hatched bands on the timeline make it obvious why a job moved
A schedule that still holds at 10am.
At the start of each shift, a supervisor walks the machines and records what really happened: when each job actually started and how much is done. The bar shrinks to the work that's left, downstream operations shift to match, and the floor sees it straight away. Over time, Actual vs Planned shows where your plan and your floor disagree.
- Quantity entered in the machine's own unit: sheets at the sheeter, cartons at the folder
- Done and remaining shown on every job's details
- Finish-time adherence and run-rate variance, per machine
Know what's runnable before the press is waiting.
Each department answers for its own lines: Purchasing for board, ink, dies and glue, Prepress for plates, and the tray department for packaging. Every block gets a lamp for the materials that machine needs, so the press waits on plates and ink and the folder-gluer waits on glue and trays. If a job has to stop, Hold freezes it floor-wide in grey until someone releases it.
- Six material lines, answered from Floor View by the people who know
- A lamp per routing step, not one per job
- Held jobs are blocked from production and listed in their own report
Your floor team sees changes the moment you make them.
Give every operator and supervisor a live window into the schedule, without the power to move it. Changes saved in the scheduler stream straight to the floor display. No refresh, no stale whiteboards, no phone calls asking what changed.
- Streams over WebSocket, with no polling and no refresh
- On time, late, on hold and downtime, readable from across the room
- Material lamps on every block, updated by each department right there
- Tap any job for its details, including how much is done and how much is left
Common questions.
What is AzerView?
AzerView is a cloud production scheduling platform for printers, packaging converters, finishing and kitting lines, and other discrete-job manufacturers. It replaces spreadsheet planning with a live schedule board, automatic dependency recalculation, changeover-aware sequencing and real-time progress from the floor.
Is it cloud-only, or is there a desktop version?
AzerView is cloud-only. It's a web app that runs in any modern browser, so there's nothing to install or update and everyone works from the same live schedule. Floor View runs on any screen with a browser, from a wall-mounted TV to a tablet.
Can I import my current schedule?
Yes. Download the import template for your board, in Excel, CSV or JSON, fill it from your ERP or existing spreadsheets, and drop it in. Packout profiles have their own template too.
How much does it cost?
Early customers get launch pricing, locked in, and we set AzerView up with your own jobs and walk your team through it. Get in touch and we'll go over the details.
Does it connect to our ERP?
Yes. AzerView is built to work alongside your existing ERP, not replace it. Bring in work orders from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, Infor and others via Excel, CSV or JSON. Your estimate stays authoritative: AzerView takes its run counts, rates and crew sizes as given and works out the sequence.
Can we run more than one plant or division?
Yes. Each division gets its own board with its own machines, lines and import template. A carton plant and a finishing department can each schedule their own way.
Is my production data secure?
Every company's data lives in its own isolated database and is never shared. Traffic is encrypted in transit and data is encrypted at rest. Every account signs in with two-factor authentication, and access is role-based, so viewers can see the schedule but never change it.
Who is Floor View for?
Floor View is a live display for operators, supervisors and the departments that feed the floor. Anyone you add as a viewer signs in and lands directly on the live schedule. They can't move jobs, but material departments can mark their lines ready from right there.
