Scheduling Software: Finding the Right Fit for Your Shop

  • January 24, 2025
  • WMCO
  • Cluster Knowledge Bank

As shops grow, so do their scheduling needs. In a recent discussion, members weighed in on the pros and cons of various scheduling tools. Many praised Monday.com for its intuitive interface and ability to integrate with TVs on the shop floor. One member shared, “We use it to display tasks on a TV. It’s simple for everyone to see and eliminates the need to pull out phones.”

For dusty environments, another member recommended fanless micro-PCs, like a Raspberry Pi or compact Windows-based computers, paired with sealed TV screens. “The last thing you want is dust clogging up a fan or ruining a screen,” they pointed out.

Others suggested alternatives like ClickUp or WebCab Planning Assistant, with one shop owner noting, “WebCab’s reminders keep everyone on track, and it scales well as you grow.”

The discussion underscored the importance of tailoring solutions to fit a shop’s size and workflow. As one member put it, “The best scheduling tool is the one that your team actually uses.”
