Max Scheduler can be used for Receiving Door Scheduling
|
Max Scheduler is scheduling software that is a step-up from using manual tools like spreadsheets, wallboards or piles of paper.
Max Scheduler can import a list of incoming shipments from another office system (accounting, Access, WMS, ERP, job-shop, etc.). Next assign loads to doors taking into account capacity constraints such as time, physical space or volume of work. Once the schedule is created it can be published as a set of webpages to keep others informed of receiving area operations. Scheduling changes can be made quickly using a mouse with drag and drop. The graphical schedule is easy to read and can show the important load details.
Max Scheduler has other notable features mentioned below, here is a full list of scheduling software features.

Import Job Data
Many organizations make use of Excel for scheduling or for managing lists of jobs. Here is a typical example:
Its quite easy to get this data into MaxScheduler and start scheduling. MaxScheduler even has an auto-import configuration to make this easier, available through menu Configuration | Configure import automatically from file. Here is the above data, imported into MaxScheduler:
Certified Quickbooks Scheduler
Many small businesses in North America use Quickbooks accounting software. We visited a number of companies that were having challenges since Quickbooks products don't have a comphrensive scheduling feature.
We saw this as an opportunity and added a custom import feature to MaxScheduler to make it easy to connect a scheduler to Quickbooks. In August 2008, MaxScheduler received a Silver Level certification and is listed in the Quickbooks marketplace. This means MaxScheduler was tested by a 3rd party organization and passed a number of criteria to ensure MaxScheduler works with Quickbooks in a predictable manner.
MaxScheduler imports invoice data from Quickbooks through the click of a button. If your organization would like to import different types of data from Quickbooks, contact us. We can make the minor adjustment to the import process.
 Web Scheduler
Once a schedule is created, its quite useful to share the updated schedule within your organization. We recently enhanced our web publishing feature. Now you can turn on the WebScheduler through Schedule | Turn web scheduler On. A webpage will come up that gives access to all the scheduling boards. Share this website address with others which gives them up to the minute access to the current schedule. Others can also update job details through the webpage. The update get synchronized with MaxScheduler desktop and others viewing the web schedule.
The Web Scheduler works over a local area network, thus your schedule data is protected within your business. If you have a wireless network setup, others can have access to the schedule on portable wifi devices such as Apple Itouch, RIM Blackberry devices, Andriod phones and tablets such as the Apple Ipad.
Drag and Drop Scheduling
The best feature of MaxScheduler is how easy it is to schedule a job. There is List View at the screen bottom, which is a list of jobs to schedule. Click on a job and drag it to the resource and time you want to schedule for. Your done!
Many scheduling software products on the market require you to select dates and times from small, dialog boxes. Scheduling with MaxScheduler is intuitive, it is very similar to how you would schedule with a wall board, but with many additional benefits.
