Ship parts on time
A preview of PartScheduler, filled with sample data.
Operations: jobs waiting for a machine, then each machine's queue, with the job running now at the front showing its piece count. Sample data.

Setup takes hours, not weeks.
No sales call and no waiting on us: sign up, set up your shop and go. Every shop starts with 60 days free, and one price covers the whole shop, however many people use it.
Your card goes in at signup, on Stripe’s payment page. We email you before the free trial ends, and a shop that cancels before then pays nothing.
What it is
It’s not an ERP, but it’s everything you need and nothing more.
We built PartScheduler so a small or mid-sized machine shop can keep the delivery dates it promises. With the schedule on a whiteboard and in somebody’s head, the shop usually finds out a job is late when the customer calls to ask where it is. PartScheduler shows you which jobs are about to be late, so you can catch one before the phone rings and still make the date.
What it covers
- Every job, from purchase order to shipment
- A whiteboard-style board and machine queues
- Part recipes, plus a piece count for each op
- Each job’s material, with its certs and ETA
- Each part’s print, and its STEP or IGES model in 3D
- Finished-part inventory, filled as orders close
- On-time delivery reporting
Left out on purpose
- Accounting
- Quoting
- Payroll
Keep your books in QuickBooks or something like it, and run your jobs with us.

Setting it up
Three ways to run PartScheduler
The app
Three questions, and the screens that answer them.
We built the main screens around these three, and five seconds is our target for finding each answer. Behind those answers, a job can carry its files, recipe, piece counts and material, so anyone who opens a late job can see where it stands.
What is due this week?
Answered on: Home · Board
Home and the Board both count jobs due in the next seven days; click that count and the Board shows only those jobs.
What is late, or about to be late?
Answered on: Job list
The Risk column marks a job “Critical” when its due date is close and its pieces are behind, and “Late” once that date passes.
Where is that job right now?
Answered on: Operations
On Operations, a job’s number is a button that strips the screen down to the queues holding its work, in the order its steps run.
The detail on each job
STEP and IGES in 3D
STEP and IGES files get a thumbnail, and anyone on the floor can spin the model in 3D without CAD software.
The print, a click away
One click on the job brings up the PDF print, where an operator can check a dimension before the first piece.
The traveler, from the recipe
A job’s traveler lists its recipe in order, with a line for each setup and each run to sign and date.
Piece counts by operation
An operator can type the running total for an operation, so anyone checking a stuck job sees how far it got.
Each job’s material and certs
While a job’s material is on order, its first card on Operations reads “Waiting on material”, with any expected date you entered.
Data entry is the enemy
Every field is one more thing somebody has to stop and type, so we set a 30-second target for a new job.
Inventory
Leftover parts, counted and ready for the next order.
When an order closes, the pieces its job made and did not ship go into inventory on that part, as a batch named after the job. The next time the part is ordered, the new job form shows how many are in inventory. When enough of them are free to cover the whole order, the job can ship from inventory instead of going back to the floor.
Leftovers go in by themselves
Ship an order’s last box, close it short or cancel it, and what is left over goes into inventory. The dialog says how many before you confirm.
Counted when you say so
Type what is physically there, batch by batch, with a reason when the number changes. Every move stays in the part’s activity, newest first.
Pulled at the shipping desk
When a box needs more pieces than the job made, shipping asks where they came from and takes them from inventory, oldest batch first unless you pick one.
A location for every part
Give a part its place, such as Shelf A4, and it shows beside the count.
It counts finished parts. Raw material stays on each job, with its certs and the date you expect it.
Part recipes
The routing lives on the part. Every job runs it.
A recipe is a part’s routing: operation order, the machines allowed on each, setup and cycle times, and which steps go to a vendor. It is stored on the part, so the next order for that part already has one. Releasing a job freezes a copy. The floor works to that copy, and the due date is calculated from it.
Below is the application’s Add-a-part page, loaded with one shop’s machines and actions. The recipe builder at the foot of it works. The file drawers are shown but do not upload, and nothing is saved: refreshing empties the form.

Add a part
Every part is filed under a customer. The same number for two customers is two parts.
What the shop calls it — “impeller hub”. Most parts have one.

Click a pill to add it at the end, or drag it into place. A sent-out step names the ACTION — which company does it is chosen when the work is actually sent out; new actions come from the vendors page. Run-here choices come from the machine types under Equipment › Work centers.

Pricing
One price for the whole shop.
Everyone in the building gets their own sign-in, and every screen on the floor can show the board. Hire your next machinist and the price stays the same.
Launch pricing Monthly and annual are 33% off while we launch, and a shop that starts on a launch price keeps it for as long as it subscribes.

The first six months
What happens after you sign up
Day 1
You sign up
Your plan, your shop’s name, your name and your email, then your card on Stripe’s payment page. We charge nothing that day.
Around day 45
The app reminds you
The Billing page shows your plan and what day 61 charges. If you picked lifetime, buy it there before day 61 to pay $5,499 once; if you do not, monthly starts at $199.
Day 61
The free trial ends
We charge the plan you are on: $199 for monthly, or $1,990 for annual. A shop that bought lifetime pays nothing more.
Month 6
The guarantee ends
The six months count from the day you signed up, so the 60 free days are part of them.
What you get
Every plan is the whole product.
There is one version of PartScheduler. A shop on monthly and a shop that paid once run the same app, and both get every change we make. We sell nothing as an add-on.

- A whiteboard-style board and machine queues
- Part recipes, plus a piece count for each op

Questions
Before you start
Is it priced per person?
No. The price covers the whole shop, with no limit on people, sign-ins or screens.
Do you charge my card during the free trial?
Only if you buy lifetime, which we charge on the day you press Buy lifetime in the app; picking lifetime when you sign up charges nothing. We first charge monthly and annual on day 61, and a shop that cancels during the 60 days pays nothing.
How do I cancel?
Press Cancel subscription on the Billing page in the app, or Cancel Lifetime if you bought lifetime. During the free trial the shop keeps working until the trial ends, and we charge nothing. After that, and inside the six months, canceling uses the guarantee above: we refund you, and the shop turns read-only that day. Later on, a monthly or annual plan stops at the end of the period you paid for, and we do not charge you again; a lifetime plan never renews, so there is nothing to cancel.
What happens if a payment fails?
Stripe tries the card again for about two weeks, and the shop keeps working the whole time. If every try fails, the shop turns read-only: your people can still see and print everything they could before, and we delete nothing, but nobody can save changes to jobs, parts or the schedule. To bring it back, send us a message from Help in the app. The shop comes back once everything owed is paid, including the months it spent read-only.
Can the price go up?
Not on a launch price. A shop that starts at $199 a month or $1,990 a year keeps that price for as long as it subscribes, and a lifetime plan has nothing further to pay. The terms set out how any other price change works.
Can I see it before I sign up?
Yes. The board at the top of this page runs on made-up jobs in all five of its views, and the part recipe builder on the Product tab redraws the job card and the traveler as you type.
