shopVOX Releases New Machine Scheduling Tool to Help Custom Shops Improve Capacity Planning
The Californer/10321851

FOLSOM, Calif. - Californer -- shopVOX, a leading software platform in the B2B custom manufacturer, has released a major feature inside its PRO subscription called Machine Scheduling.  Built for sign, print, apparel shops this tool gives users the ability to assign jobs to machines with drag and drop ease, track real times capacity and more.

Their goal: to help growing shops improve delivery timelines, reduce production chaos, and make smarter operational decisions.

The Machine Scheduling feature was developed after the other recent feature release Steps Board and from direct feedback from shopVOX users who were managing high volume custom work over multiple machines.  It addresses a common operational challenge in these shops - lack of visibility into machine capacity and potential bottlenecks.

Key features include:

• A visual drag-and-drop scheduler with machine and job views
• Real-time tracking of available vs. booked machine time
• Shift-based scheduling workarounds
• Filtering by department, staff, and machine type
• Job prioritization for production managers

"Shops don't need more complexity—they need clarity," said Rao Meka, co-founder and product manager of shopVOX. "This feature gives production teams a real way to plan ahead, stay on track, and reduce delays without adding more tools or spreadsheets."

This feature is now available to all shopVOX Pro users.
