FitFactory Scheduler review
A connected scheduler for capacity, constraints, scenarios and shop-floor updates.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FitFactory Scheduler is production scheduling software for manufacturing SMEs and subcontract manufacturers. It plots jobs across machines and resources, checks available capacity, highlights clashes and overloaded machines, and supports drag-and-drop rescheduling. The product covers finite capacity, material constraints and labor constraints, while also accounting for holidays, absences, shift patterns and subcontracting resources. It is aimed at teams that need production planning connected to shop-floor activity rather than a standalone calendar.
Its strongest area is schedule modelling and operational visibility. Users can compare what-if scenarios, prioritise jobs automatically, model alternatives in Gantt charts and review production performance and bottlenecks. Real-time updates from shop-floor data capture can keep the schedule aligned with production activity. These capabilities suit manufacturers managing changing workloads, constrained resources and delivery commitments. The desktop and mobile platform coverage includes Windows, iOS and Android.
FitFactory Scheduler also fits environments that need system connectivity. It integrates with Tricorn MRP and Shop Floor Data Capture, while an open API supports connections with ERP/MRP systems. Fitfactory describes it as a modular MES component focused on delivery performance and resource utilisation. The published commercial model is a monthly subscription with a minimum 12-month term, and support is available Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm UK time. Teams seeking connected capacity planning and shop-floor updates should consider it; organisations wanting a long-established scheduling product or a publicly itemised plan should compare alternatives.
