A new way for manufacturers to model production, prevent stock-outs, and keep teams on the same page – without spreadsheet chaos
Elevated Signals, the leading manufacturing operations software for regulated industries, has launched its new Planning & Scheduling module, giving fast-growing manufacturers a smarter way to plan, adjust, and optimize production.
The new module provides teams with agility through a drag-and-drop interface that automatically adjusts all related steps in the production plan. This enables them to accurately model capacity, avoid over- or underproduction, and respond faster to demand, cutting delays, reducing labour costs, and maximizing throughput.
Designed for regulated industries such as cannabis, nutraceuticals, food and beverage, Elevated Signals brings all production data, including inventory, QA, work orders, and planning, into one flexible system. With everything in one place, manufacturers can easily trace batches, generate GMP-compliant records, and be audit-ready without the last-minute scramble. No more stitching together spreadsheets, calendars, and disconnected tools. Teams have instant clarity and can focus on production, not tracking down data.
“Factory managers need to hit production targets reliably and predictably, but most are still relying on spreadsheets and whiteboards to plan their operations,” said Amar Singh, CEO and co-founder of Elevated Signals. “That leads to missed deadlines, team stress, inventory issues, and ultimately missing profitability and revenue goals. Our new module replaces these tools with a smarter, integrated system that brings structure to the chaos – helping manufacturers stay aligned, agile, and ahead of demand.”
“We’ve been using a tangle of spreadsheets to manage our production plans,” said Paul Brownfield, General Manager, QAP, Organnicraft Production Inc. “Elevated Signals’ Planning & Scheduling module will bring that whole process into one clear, interactive view. It’ll ensure our plans are up-to-date, easy to edit, much more resilient, making team coordination effortless – especially when things change last minute.”
With the Planning & Scheduling module, teams can:
- Connect planning directly to BOMs, inventory levels, SKUs, batches, work orders, QA requirements, and labour needs
- Easily model and see plans in calendar or Gantt-style views
- Create reusable templates for core workflows for greater efficiency
- Schedule from ship dates or start dates, with built-in buffer logic
Looking ahead, this launch is just the beginning. Upcoming features like forecasting, costing, and AI insights will give manufacturers even greater control over performance and profit.
