Job Scheduling Software Built for Real-World Work

Job scheduling software helps businesses plan, allocate and manage jobs, tasks, staff, resources and deadlines in one place. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, whiteboards or separate calendars, job scheduling software gives teams a central view of what work needs to be done, when it needs to happen, who is responsible and what resources are required.

For fabrication, manufacturing and engineering businesses, job scheduling software can help coordinate workshop capacity, labour, machines, work areas and job deadlines alongside the wider job management process.

Job scheduling software focuses on planning when work will happen, who will complete it and which resources are required. Job management software covers the wider job lifecycle, which can include quoting, job costing, purchasing, scheduling, timesheets, invoicing and reporting.

WorkGuru combines job scheduling with broader job management, so businesses can plan work while keeping schedules connected to the operational and financial information behind each job.

Job scheduling software is commonly used by businesses that need to coordinate multiple jobs, employees, tasks, resources and deadlines at the same time. This includes fabrication businesses, manufacturers, engineering companies, structural steel fabricators, workshops and other project-based businesses.

Owners, production managers, workshop managers, project managers and operations teams can use job scheduling software to understand what is scheduled, who is allocated, what capacity remains and where upcoming jobs may compete for resources.

Job scheduling software can make it easier to plan workloads, allocate staff, manage workshop resources and respond when job priorities change.

Rather than managing schedules across spreadsheets, calendars, whiteboards and paperwork, teams can use a central job schedule to see upcoming work and resource requirements.

Yes. WorkGuru lets you schedule the overall job as well as the individual tasks required to complete it. This means businesses can use job scheduling and task scheduling together, giving managers a high-level view of upcoming jobs while still planning the individual stages of work underneath them.

For complex fabrication, manufacturing and engineering jobs, this can make it easier to coordinate different stages of production and understand when specific tasks need to happen.

Yes. WorkGuru’s Work Areas can be used for workshop scheduling and resource scheduling, allowing businesses to schedule physical resources such as workshop bays, machines, sheds, production areas or other resources required to complete a job.

For fabrication and manufacturing businesses, this can help prevent multiple jobs from being planned around the same limited workshop resource.

See Work Areas.

Yes. Jobs and tasks can be moved and rescheduled as priorities, deadlines or production requirements change. Rather than rebuilding the entire job plan manually, WorkGuru allows the schedule to be updated as work changes.

This is useful for fabrication and manufacturing environments where urgent jobs, delayed materials, changing customer deadlines or workshop bottlenecks can affect the original production schedule.

Yes. WorkGuru is designed for job-based businesses including metal fabrication, structural steel and other fabrication workshops. Fabricators can use WorkGuru as fabrication scheduling software to schedule jobs and tasks, allocate workshop staff, manage work areas, plan capacity and adjust schedules as priorities change.

Because scheduling is part of the wider WorkGuru job management system, the schedule remains connected with operational information such as job costs, purchasing, labour and invoicing.
