Business impact

What your team gains with Production Planning

Beyond the feature list, this is the difference your manufacturing operation feels within the first month.

Hours back every week

Production Planning automates the repetitive manufacturing busywork — data entry, reminders, and reports — so your team spends time on work that actually moves the needle.

Fewer costly errors

Built-in validation and one shared record mean the mistakes that come from re-typing data across disconnected tools simply stop happening.

Decisions on live data

Dashboards update the moment work happens, so managers steer manufacturing operations with today's numbers — not last month's exports.

Room to grow

Add users, locations, and modules without re-implementation. Production Planning scales from a single site to a multi-branch operation on the same setup.

How it works

Live in three steps

From first import to full rollout, Production Planning is designed to get your team productive fast.

1

Bring your data in

Import existing manufacturing records or start fresh. Production Planning maps cleanly to how your team already works, with guided migration and no messy spreadsheets.

2

Configure to your process

Tailor fields, roles, and automations to match your workflow — all without code. Set the rules once and let Production Planning handle the repetitive work.

3

Go live and scale

Roll out to your team with hands-on onboarding, then watch the module connect to the rest of your suite as you grow into it.

The difference

Before and after Production Planning

The day-to-day change manufacturing teams notice once Production Planning takes over the busywork.

Without Gbooks

  • Scattered spreadsheets and paper registers
  • The same data re-typed into multiple tools
  • Status updates chased over calls and messages
  • Numbers you only trust after month-end
  • Growth means hiring more admin staff

With Production Planning

  • One live Production Planning workspace the whole team shares
  • Information entered once and synced everywhere
  • Real-time visibility for everyone who needs it
  • Manufacturing dashboards that are accurate right now
  • Growth means switching on another module

Who it's for

Production Planning fits right into manufacturing operations of every size — from lean teams to multi-site enterprises.

ERPSupply ChainQuality Control
Enterprise-grade

Secure and reliable by default

Production Planning runs on the same hardened platform as every Gbooks module — no add-ons or upgrades required.

Role-based access

Granular permissions decide exactly who can see and change what, down to individual fields.

Encrypted end to end

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with regular independent security reviews.

Complete audit trail

Every action is logged and tamper-evident, so audits take hours instead of weeks.

Backed up & always on

Automatic backups, tested restores and a 99.99% uptime record keep your daily operations running without interruption.

FAQ

Common questions about Production Planning

How long does it take to get Production Planning up and running?

Most manufacturing teams are live within days. Our onboarding team helps you import data, configure workflows, and train users so you see value in the first week — not the first quarter.

Does Production Planning work with the tools we already use?

Yes. It connects out of the box with SAP, Oracle, Siemens MES, and shares one secure core with every other module in the suite, so your data flows without duplicate entry.

How is our data kept secure?

Every module ships with role-based access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and a full, tamper-evident audit trail — so you always know who did what, and when.

Can we start with just Production Planning and add more later?

Absolutely. Begin with Production Planning alone and switch on other Manufacturing modules whenever you're ready. Everything works together, so adding a module is a toggle — never a re-implementation.

Do you provide training and support?

Every plan includes guided onboarding, live training sessions for your team, and ongoing support over chat, email, and phone. Most questions are answered within a few hours, and your data is never left stranded.

Can our team use Production Planning on mobile?

Yes. Production Planning runs in any modern browser and ships with mobile-friendly views, so your manufacturing team can work from a phone or tablet on the floor, in the field, or at home.
