Printavo Power Scheduler
« on: January 09, 2024, 08:18:29 AM »
Any one use it (smaller shops)? I find it to be overengineered for the small/midsize custom/contract shops. Does anyone have a screenshot of a Shopworx or other schedule? Looking for the basic info capture on a simple spreadsheet. # impressions/placements/colors/ screen status, goods status, production status etc. Don't need ink status.

Following out of curiosity as we coded our own scheduler. Never been comfortable with what's been in the market. (though in the new year I'm again going through looking at ERP/SaaS options like Printavo, MPower, Antera, etc.).

I can share a screen and walk you through TeeCal if you'd like.
It has an auto scheduler, but we still schedule manually.
The statuses are:
garments received
artwork approved
prepres completed
production completed

It gives you a good spot to check what's going on and can be used to feed the employees what they should be working on. We are constantly chasing our tail (waiting for art, garments... you name it) so we pull manually from the schedule rather than lets say the pre-press job assignments. You have your ducks in a row, so might be able to use all the features.
