Cadence turns messy ERP and BOM data, plus the rules your ERP misses, into a schedule your team can approve in minutes.

Built for make-to-order plants
Advanced planning systems assume stable routings, trusted standards, and a team to run the implementation. A small or mid-market make-to-order plant has changing configurations, imperfect master data, rush orders, material exceptions, and a planner who carries the real rules in their head. Cadence starts from that.
Cadence reads the ERP you have. Inconsistent item names, BOM revisions in three formats, and half-filled fields stay visible on the schedule instead of blocking it.
Cadence reads your ERP and never writes to it. No cutover, no data migration, no integration project. Nothing to roll back either: stop using Cadence and your old sheets still work.
Your scheduler keeps their sheet and their judgment. A rush order or a short part at 10 AM? Cadence reworks the afternoon and shows exactly what moved.
What changes
Protect promises
See which orders are drifting toward a missed date while there is still time to change the plan, check material, or reset the promise.
Order 1842
Use the whole network
See all plants together. Move work when another site is a better fit, while keeping the pieces of a complete order together.
Plant A
At capacity
Plant B
Finish line + room
Plant C
No matching finish line
Compare the value
A full plant is not always the best plan. Compare the value and complete orders each sequence can release.
Works with the data you have
Cadence builds a production schedule from inconsistent item names, BOM revisions stored in different formats, missing fields, and plant notes. Your scheduler reviews and approves it.

Rules outside the ERP
The best schedule depends on judgment that lives on the floor. This finish runs better at Plant B. That machine has been temperamental all week. A new operator needs more time. Tell Cadence in plain language. It works the rule into the next plan for your scheduler to review.
