Boxlink™ production scheduling software

Educational Furniture Manufacturer

This system produces boxes for a 1 (one) day lead time stock and release program. A production manager sends production orders to the Flexmode system via Boxlink™ scheduling software. Each batch of boxes specified in the production queue of Boxlink™ indicates delivery location and required date. Orders can be sent to the Flexmode system via a web browser or client software application.

The operator sends the production batches directly from Boxlink™ to the Flexmode system. As each batch is produced, it is placed into a delivery cart or slot rack.
