MakeQueue Pro
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBenchtime puts every order you prepare after it's placed on a production board and schedules it against your real capacity: how much you can finish per day or week, your workdays, and days off. Each order gets a ship-by date that moves as work moves. Shoppers see your next date on product pages and next to shipping options at checkout, and you can send each customer a private status page.
MakeQueue turns open, unfulfilled order line items into a clear production queue. Create product templates with a work center, lead time, and minutes per unit. MakeQueue calculates due dates, scheduled time, and upcoming capacity. Track each task by order, product, quantity, work center, due date, health, and status. Move work through Queued, In production, Quality check, and Ready.
