Meet Pacer Production Scheduler
Material-aware, finite-capacity production scheduling — built into Business Central.
How it works
Step 1
See material readiness
Green / Yellow / Red status across every order, at a glance.
Step 2
Optimize
One click packs orders into a finite-capacity, material-aware schedule.
Step 3
Refine on the Gantt
Drag-and-drop with live guardrails — you can’t double-book or start before material lands.
Step 4
Promote to production
Nothing goes live until you commit. A recovery snapshot is taken automatically.
