Volotic Production Scheduling ยท formerly GE ยท West Coast partner CB Pacific

Run your production schedule on software, not spreadsheets.

If your team builds to order and still plans the week in Excel, you already know the cost: a few people buried in the spreadsheet, last-minute order changes, and the late shipments that follow. Volotic is the cloud scheduler from the GE software suite that turns your orders, machines, and people into an optimized plan in minutes.

Your business isn't spreadsheet management. It shouldn't have to be.

Still scheduling in a spreadsheet?

Every day, orders shift. A customer needs it sooner. A big account pushes a job out. A machine goes down for maintenance, an operator is out next week, and the whole plan has to be rebuilt by hand. Most mid-size manufacturers solve this with two or three people and a spreadsheet that only one of them really understands.

It works until it doesn't. The fidelity isn't there, the plan is out of date the moment it's printed, and the people doing it could be adding far more value somewhere else.

  • โ€บ Full-time staff spent rebuilding the schedule instead of running the floor
  • โ€บ Missed and late orders that frustrate your best customers
  • โ€บ No clear view of how a change ripples across machines and people

Get a tailored estimate

The same inputs you already track. A far better plan.

You enter the same things you put in your spreadsheet today: work orders, quantities, the machines and people you have. Volotic does the optimizing, and you stay in control.

01

Enter your orders and constraints

Work orders, required dates, machine availability, and crew. The data you already wrangle in Excel, in one place.

02

Let it optimize

Volotic weighs thousands of variables across your plant and proposes the schedule that hits required completion dates with the resources you have.

03

Review and adjust

Joe is out next week? Drag the job, lock what matters, and re-run in real time. You make the call, the software does the heavy lifting.

Why Volotic

Cloud and web-based

No server to stand up, no application for your team to babysit. Like switching from a shelf of DVDs to streaming, you subscribe and get value from day one. Volotic is the cloud scheduler with a true web interface, where legacy tools are still stuck on the desktop.

GE software pedigree

Volotic is the scheduling solution from the GE software suite, proven across manufacturers worldwide and now brought to West Coast operations by CB Pacific.

Built for build-to-order

Made for shops with real variability, where every customer order is a little different. This is where scheduling gets hard, and where Volotic earns its keep.

Manufacturing line

Made for shops that build to order

If you run a few dozen work orders a week against limited machines and crew, and the mix changes constantly, Volotic was built for you. It fits the operations that the big ERP schedulers were never designed to serve.
