The problem

A live production plan that knows your machines, your methods and your delivery dates.

In most decoration businesses the production plan lives on a whiteboard, a spreadsheet or in the head of one supervisor. It's out of date by mid-morning. Rush orders jump the queue by whoever shouts loudest, machines sit idle while the next job is found, and nobody knows whether Friday's deliveries will make it until Friday.

What Tracker does
  • Colour and setup batching: jobs grouped by thread palette, hoop, screen or platen to cut changeovers.
  • Order stacking: combine small orders onto the same run to decorate more pieces per cycle.
  • Live capacity by method and site, so sales quote dates the floor can actually hit.
  • Re-plan in seconds: re-sequence, reassign or split jobs and every station queue updates instantly.
  • Estimated versus actual run times feed back into planning and quoting.
How it's different

Scheduler compared

Compared to…

A generic ERP

A general-purpose ERP schedules work orders against a calendar. Tracker schedules decoration jobs against real machines: head counts, hoop sizes, thread palettes, screens and platens.

Compared to…

A consumables-locked platform

A vendor-tied scheduler plans around that vendor's machines. Tracker is hardware-agnostic, scheduling embroidery, DTG, DTF, screen and heat press side by side, whoever built the machine.

Compared to…

A homegrown / in-house build

A homegrown schedule is a spreadsheet someone has to keep updating. Tracker's schedule updates itself from the scans happening on the floor.

Proof

Thread-colour batching cuts embroidery changeover time by up to 40%.

Scheduler

Why decorators choose Tracker Scheduler

  • Batch jobs by thread colour, hoop, screen or platen so machines spend their time decorating, not changing over.
  • See live capacity across embroidery heads, DTG platens, screen stations and heat presses before you promise a date.
  • Re-sequence and re-plan in seconds when a rush order lands. Every station queue updates instantly.
