JobPack is a standalone production scheduling tool for job shops. It integrates with major ERP systems to pull job data and provides visual finite capacity scheduling, drag-and-drop dispatch, and what-if scenario planning. Used by discrete manufacturers to close the gap between ERP's rough-cut MRP and actual shop floor execution.

Purpose-built job shop scheduling with strong visual dispatch capabilities, fills the finite scheduling gap that most ERPs leave open; the integration-dependent model means it works best as an ERP add-on rather than a standalone tool.
