Orders and planning

From purchase order to shipped boxes

Enter an order’s designs and shipment dates. Popp Farm plans the work across your real printers, day by day, with every active order sharing the fleet, and shows when each shipment will be ready.

An order’s plan with ready-by dates and the day-by-day schedule
Two days of the plan: printer groups, plates and pieces per design

Plans from your real fleet

Printers are grouped by model and AMS colors; designs go where they fit, using every free printer.

Ready-by dates

Each shipment shows when it will be ready, and which ones are at risk, before it’s a problem.

Straight to the queue

Attach a print file and colors to a design and send the pieces left to the queue.

Orders and planning

How it works

Enter the order

Designs with plate time, pieces per plate and quantity, plus shipments with dates.

Produce and ship

Send designs to the queue, record production and mark shipments ready or shipped.

About orders and planning

More in the FAQ.

Is the plan a guess?

It is calculated from each design’s plate time and pieces per plate, your shop hours, plate change time and scrap allowance, and it re-plans from today as production is recorded.
