FAQ
Good to know
Who is FlexScheduler for?
It is designed for planners and teams managing high-mix, low-volume production with finite capacity. It is a lightweight scheduling decision tool, not an ERP or MES replacement, and does not provide BOM, inventory or purchasing management.
Where does my factory data stay?
Scheduling and recalculation run locally. Factory data stays on your Mac or in a folder you choose. Purchases and restoration may connect to Apple services.
What happens when a rush order or downtime occurs?
Use event-driven workflows for rush orders and downtime, protect near-term tasks with freeze windows and review changes before publishing.
Where can I download it, and what does it cost?
Use the Mac App Store link on this page. See the store and in-app information for current pricing, trial eligibility and system requirements.
Can you manufacture a design made in this app?
Yes — send your design report to MagLink Sourcing, our independent sourcing service for custom transformers and inductors. Get a production quote →
