PlanetTogether is APS software best for manufacturers that buy through a sales-led demo and need named integrations with SAP, NetSuite or Kinaxis Maestro, ranked #8 of 10 on our small manufacturers list as of October 2026. PlanetTogether does not publish prices; it asks buyers to talk to sales. There is no free trial, only a free demo. Its defining capability is a scheduling optimization engine combined with a rules engine, backed by a wide set of named integrations. It is not a fit if you need a public price, a self-serve trial or automatic rescheduling, which PlanetTogether does not state.

PlanetTogether features: finite capacity scheduling and automatic rescheduling

PlanetTogether describes machine capacity and constraint scheduling. PlanetTogether does not use the term “finite capacity” on its product pages as of October 2026. The product combines an optimization engine with a rules engine.

On rescheduling, PlanetTogether says “When things change, your plan can too”, and its product page shows a “Manual Adjustments” step. The APS FAQ describes “alerts and rescheduling tools” for planners. An automatic or event-triggered rescheduling trigger is not stated as of October 2026.

For multi-site use, the FAQ says “Multi-site manufacturers can use it to view demand, capacity” across plants. AI features are not detailed on the vendor site as of October 2026.

For process manufacturers, the PlanetTogether industries page covers Food & Beverage, Chemical, Life Sciences and Printing & Packaging. It says the software can “Coordinate batch and tank schedules to meet demand” and “Optimize reactor campaign scheduling to remove idle time”, and it mentions lot control for consistent pharma batch runs. Shelf-life modeling is not mentioned as of October 2026. The same page names the customer SnakKing, which it credits with “25% increase in production output and a 30% reduction in changeover times”.

PlanetTogether ERP integration

PlanetTogether names integrations with SAP, NetSuite, Kinaxis Maestro, AVEVA and Aptean Ross ERP. It also names John Galt and Shiftboard. Supply chain planning scope comes through the Kinaxis Maestro and John Galt integrations rather than from the scheduler itself.

PlanetTogether’s scheduler is also the engine behind Kinaxis Production Scheduling: Kinaxis describes that product as combining “the detailed production scheduling capabilities of PlanetTogether” with its Maestro platform, as of October 2026. PlanetTogether’s home page says the company has been acquired by CAI Software and now operates as CAI PlanetTogether.

For an ERP on the named list, the integration is a configured connection; for an ERP outside it, PlanetTogether connects through an API or file interface set up in the project. Deployment is not published clearly as of October 2026: the site offers installer downloads and also mentions cloud dashboards.

PlanetTogether is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. Its home page lists offices in North America, Latin America, UK & Europe, the Middle East & Turkey, Africa, Asia Pacific and China, plus a support inquiries form and a knowledge base. PlanetTogether does not state 24/7 support as of October 2026.

Scheduling software by ERP for the systems named here: SAP S/4HANA and NetSuite. All ERP pages are on production scheduling software by ERP.

Who PlanetTogether is not a fit for

PlanetTogether is not a fit if you need a public price or a trial on your own data before a sales process. It is also not a fit if you need the schedule to rebuild itself automatically when conditions change, since PlanetTogether does not state automatic rescheduling as of October 2026.

Consider instead: SkyPlanner APS, an APS for manufacturers of any size, if you need public pricing, a no-card trial or automatic rescheduling. It costs from 199 euros per month as of October 2026, with 5 workstations included and 20 euros per month per extra workstation. Buyers get a 30-day trial without a card, and Autopilot reschedules the plan automatically. Consider instead: Kinaxis or Siemens Opcenter APS if you need multi-plant S&OP.
