RestoFlow – Restaurant KOT

RestoFlow – Restaurant KOT is a kitchen order and point-of-sale system that streamlines restaurant operations. It integrates waiter tablets, kitchen displays, customer self-ordering interfaces, and cashier terminals into one platform. The React-based waiter app lets staff input orders, add cooking instructions, and receive dish-ready alerts. The kitchen display system organizes orders by timestamp and flags delays over ten minutes. Customers can scan table-specific QR codes to access menus and place orders without downloading apps. The cashier terminal supports multiple payment methods, manages checkouts, and prints thermal receipts. Flexible tax configurations handle India GST or GCC VAT with automatic calculations. The system generates unlimited QR codes and waiter accounts. A takeaway interface simplifies quick-service orders with token generation, while real-time notifications ensure updates across all terminals.

RotaBot

RotaBot is staff rota software for businesses that run on shifts, built at a golf centre by the people who write the rota. Managers set what each day needs as blocks of time, headcount and role or area, and RotaBot builds the whole week around contracts, availability, approved leave, training and shift rules. Nobody is rostered to a role they don't hold, outside their availability or onto approved leave. When a requirement can't be covered, RotaBot names the day, role and hours and explains why, rather than hiding the gap or overstaffing. Managers review and edit the week, and nothing reaches staff until they publish. Staff then see the published week in a browser on any phone. Holidays, availability and timesheets sit in the same place, and timesheets export to Excel. RotaBot also notices the fixes a manager keeps making and, after three published weeks, asks before using them.

RotoScheduler

RotoScheduler plans a rotomolding plant's production. Orders go onto machines, arms and cycles on a board you read by month, week or day, with each arm's service, oven and cooling time drawn. Move a run and see where it may go; RotoSpider checks the fit of each mold group on the arm before it becomes scheduled work. An order carries its minimum, wanted and maximum quantity, the machines it may run on and a start-by day. Plans are files you keep, version and export by machine-day or week. The web demo at rotoscheduler.app opens a sample factory with a two-week plan; the desktop trial on Windows, macOS and Linux shares one download and one data folder with RotoSpider. A manual and short tours in twelve languages. By Cuberithm Inc., Winnipeg, Canada.

RunMark

RunMark is production scheduling software for small process manufacturers moving off spreadsheets. It schedules runs across 2 to 20 lines using each line's SKU capabilities, throughput rates, shift windows and changeover times between products, and generates traceability labels from the same schedule. It was built first for plastics extrusion, including HDPE and PVC pipe, profile and tubing. RunMark is not an ERP and does not include BOM, purchasing, multi-level inventory or accounting. Pricing is $249 per month or $2,490 per year, with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required.

Schedule Forge

Schedule Forge is production scheduling software offering capacity planning and material date visibility for manufacturing operations. It combines AI with a verification-based scheduling engine to validate recommendations before presenting them. A drag-and-drop interface allows rescheduling with real-time updates on dates and conflicts. The AI evaluates workflows, labor, overtime, and inventory to meet production deadlines. The software supports chain-based and parallel scheduling, forward and backward approaches, and anchoring of in-progress work. Configurable views include Gantt charts, a six-week capacity heatmap, and cross-view data tables. Build plan previews enable review before committing, with BOM explosion and material shortage identification. Features include inventory reorder management, printable travelers, CRM views, seat-based team access, order backflushing, and vendor coordination. Per-operation settings provide precise control over scheduling parameters.

smartAPS

smartAPS is a flexible production scheduling software that generates precise production schedules based on the operation, resource and capacity data configuration. It helps production planners with swift schedule calculations with changes in configuration on ‘What -If cases. smartAPS considers material constraints and production status of running jobs while calculating new job schedules. This allows to reschedule all the jobs in case of any changes that occur abruptly during production.

SpotFix AI

Most service calls get dispatched on almost nothing. "AC not cooling" is often all the dispatcher knows, so the technician arrives without the right part and the job takes two visits. SpotFix AI collects the evidence first. You send the customer a secure link, no app or account needed, and they submit photos, video and answers to trade-specific questions from their phone. The AI reads the equipment nameplate for make, model and age, then identifies likely causes, parts to bring, estimated duration and safety flags. Your dispatcher reviews and approves every packet before a technician sees it. Nothing is automated past the point you're comfortable with. Built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage door, irrigation and property maintenance. Integrates with Jobber, plus an API for other systems. Uploads are malware-scanned, intake links token-secured, access role-based. Free plan: 3 jobs a month, no card required.

Statii

Statii is a Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) software solution designed to help small and mid-sized manufacturers manage quoting, production, inventory, scheduling, and job costing within a single system. Built for bespoke, make-to-order, and engineer-to-order manufacturing environments, Statii supports businesses where products are often customised, batch sizes are low, and production workflows vary from job to job. The software provides visibility across the full job lifecycle, from initial customer enquiry through to production completion and delivery. Statii is commonly used by engineering, fabrication, assembly, and subcontract manufacturing businesses that require clear control of work in progress, materials, capacity, and costs without the complexity of large enterprise ERP platforms. The platform replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a centralised system that allows operational teams, production managers, and directors to access consistent, up-to-date information across the organisation. Core functionality includes: - Quoting and enquiries, allowing users to create structured quotes and convert them directly into live works orders - Works order management, providing visibility into job progress, materials, labour, and actual versus estimated costs - Inventory management, including real-time stock levels, valuation, part history, and traceability - Scheduling and capacity planning, enabling teams to plan workloads, identify bottlenecks, and adjust priorities - Reporting and dashboards, offering insight into job profitability, work in progress, and stock usage Statii is modular, allowing organisations to adopt the functionality they need and expand usage as operational requirements grow. This makes it suitable for businesses transitioning from manual processes as well as those replacing legacy systems. The software is typically used by operations managers, production planners, and business owners who require accurate, job-level information to support day-to-day decision-making and longer-term planning. By focusing on practical manufacturing workflows and traceability, Statii supports operational control, accountability, and data consistency across production and inventory-driven environments.

Taktora.AI

Taktora is AI production scheduling software for discrete and process manufacturers. It generates and continuously adapts production schedules based on real floor constraints: machine capacity, changeover sequences, material availability, and live order priorities.
