Another piece of scheduling software?
Short answer: no. infoBoard did not come out of a software lab. It came from where manufacturing actually happens: the shop floor. And that has not changed since 2007.

From the magnetic planning board into the digital age — the thinking behind it has not changed.
The magnetic planning board hung on a lot of shop floors — and on many it still hangs today. Magnets for machines. Cards for orders. Lines for shifts. Never elegant. But it worked: because it was visual, because everyone understood it immediately and because every change showed up straight away.
In 2007 we digitized exactly that. Not the software someone operates in the office, but what happens out on the shop floor. The idea stayed the same: one schedule that everyone sees, that everyone understands and that adjusts the moment something changes.
What has changed is the complexity. More orders, more resources, more systems, more data. infoBoard has grown with that complexity — and it is still growing.

Every company is different. So we start by understanding yours.
Many software vendors have one off-the-shelf product. The company then adapts to the software. We turn that around.
First we understand how your company schedules: which order types, which machines, which shifts, which systems you already run. Then we configure infoBoard to fit your scheduling logic. Not the other way around.
The result: you start faster, your planners accept it from day one — and you get the most out of the software.
Four principles we work by.
Not as a promise. As a description of what our customers experience every day.
Stands alone — and grows with you
infoBoard works without an ERP integration. If you run one, you use its data — and increase the value of your existing IT investment. You decide how far you go, and when.
Your data reaches its full potential
Your ERP already holds order, capacity and employee data — often unused for day-to-day scheduling. infoBoard makes it visible, relevant to scheduling and valuable. The treasure was already there.
Continuous development
Production scheduling is changing. New technologies, new market demands, new possibilities. infoBoard develops with it — so you never end up working with software that stood still.
Your infrastructure, your decision
Client-server model, on-premises in your own data center or hosted — you choose. infoBoard runs wherever your IT strategy requires. No cloud requirement. No requirement to run your own server.
infoBoard runs where you need it.
Deciding how and where software runs is no small matter for many manufacturing companies. Security requirements, existing IT infrastructure, data protection policies — all of it counts.
Client-server (on-premises)
The classic option: infoBoard runs on your own Windows Server in house. No dependency on external networks. Full control over data and infrastructure. For many manufacturing companies, the first choice.
Hosting
You would rather not run a server of your own? We host infoBoard for you — with clear availability agreements and German data centers. The software stays the same. Running it is our job.
Either way you get the same software, the same performance and the same support. The decision is yours.
