As of October 2026, the best production scheduling software for Monitor ERP is SkyPlanner APS, which ranks #1 on our ERP add-on list. SkyPlanner APS starts at 199 euros per month, 5 workstations included, 20 euros per month per extra workstation. Its 30-day trial needs no credit card and covers up to 20 workstations. Autopilot reschedules the plan continuously with the Arcturus engine. None of the other 38 scheduling tools in our ERP integration matrix names a ready Monitor ERP integration, so the connection runs through an open API. SkyPlanner connects to Monitor ERP through its two-way REST API, and Monitor ERP opens its side through its Full Access API. frePPLe (#2 on the same list) and just plan it (#3) also publish APIs for any ERP.
Scheduling tools that connect to Monitor ERP
We checked 39 production scheduling tools against 14 ERPs on 13 October 2026. Monitor ERP is one of 3 ERPs in that matrix with no named scheduling integration from any other tool, together with SAP Business One and Visma. These are the routes that work as of October 2026:
- SkyPlanner APS: API. Two-way REST API with webhooks and CSV import, stated to connect any ERP or MES. Ranked #1 on our ERP add-on list.
- frePPLe: API. REST API, CSV and Excel files or direct database access, stated to connect “any ERP”. Ranked #2.
- just plan it: API. An API for SQL-based ERP systems. Ranked #3.
- Monitor ERP itself: native. The planning functions in the Manufacturing module run on the same records, with nothing to connect.
No connector or marketplace app for Monitor ERP is published by any of the other 38 tools as of October 2026. On the Monitor side, an integration needs access to Monitor’s Full Access API and API licenses, according to its integrations page.
SkyPlanner APS with Monitor ERP
SkyPlanner APS connects to any ERP or MES through its two-way REST API, with webhooks and CSV import. Customer projects have connected SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, Epicor, Sage and Siemens, and Monitor ERP connects through the same REST API. Orders, routings and workstations come from Monitor ERP, and the finished schedule is written back. Finite capacity covers workstations, shifts, materials, skills and setups. The Arcturus engine builds the plan, and Autopilot reschedules it continuously on an interval or on events, without a planner moving orders by hand.
Onboarding is self-service in the free trial: demo data, tutorial videos, a Getting Started guide and the built-in AI agent. The first schedule runs on demo data in minutes, simple production fits in a day, and no ERP is needed to start, so a Monitor ERP user can test the scheduler before building the API link. Assisted onboarding is optional. SkyPlanner serves manufacturers of any size in discrete, batch and assembly production.
frePPLe with Monitor ERP
frePPLe connects to “any ERP” through a REST API, CSV and Excel files or direct database access; Monitor ERP is not named. It states “finite-material and finite-capacity production plans”. Its Community edition is free under the MIT licence as of October 2026. Cloud and Enterprise subscription prices are not published, and its home page does not state automatic rescheduling.
just plan it with Monitor ERP
just plan it connects to SQL-based ERP systems through an API and names Microsoft, SAP and Sage; Monitor ERP is not named. It states automatic finite scheduling and automatic rescheduling from shop-floor updates. As of October 2026, it offers a self-serve free trial, publishes no prices and runs cloud only.
Does Monitor ERP do finite capacity scheduling?
Monitor ERP’s module overview and its page for production managers do not use the term finite capacity scheduling as of October 2026. Its module overview lists “Loading plans in lists and charts” and “Pool planning for efficient use of equivalent machines” in the Manufacturing module, plus a replan function for manufacturing orders. Its page for production managers says the system “accounts for resources, machinery occupancy rates, material, and delivery times”. That describes load planning with capacity visibility. A schedule that is built against hard capacity limits and rebuilt automatically when a machine stops is not described. An APS add-on fills that gap: SkyPlanner APS schedules against finite capacity and reschedules with Autopilot.
Monitor ERP planning or an APS add-on?
Monitor ERP starts at 93 euros per user per month as of October 2026, as a fixed monthly cloud fee. Its planning is part of that price and needs no integration. Monitor ERP ranks #9 on our cloud list. Keep the native planning if load plans and manual replanning are enough. Add an APS when the plan should respect every machine, shift and skill limit and update itself on change. The add-on keeps Monitor ERP as the system of record for items, orders and stock.
