Production planning
We connect orders, materials and workshop capacity in one system. The foreman knows what is being made today, purchasing knows what to order, and you see the status of every order in real time. We always start on your shop floor.
Your production plan should not live in one person’s head
When the whole company sees the plan, purchasing orders materials on time, sales answer customers right away and the foreman runs production instead of walking the shop floor. We will show you a working prototype within 14 days.
What we build for you
We put the system together from parts that fit how your production really works. These have proven themselves on shop floors.
A terminal right at the workstation
Workers scan the order and workstation codes. The system knows what is being worked on right now, and nobody copies anything from paper.
Production and stock overview for management
One screen shows orders in progress, stock levels and material consumption. The system makes sure purchasing orders materials before they run out.
Connected to machines and sensors
The software reads data from machines and sensors, such as temperatures or cycle counts. At machine maker FOODSTR, operators run production and recipes from a single panel.

A carpentry company from Sedlčany that builds roofs, houses and bridges. The owner now sees the status of every order and the timber stock in real time, and carpenters see on the terminal what to do next.
“We were looking for a way to track and record production. And with Koala, we found a way to solve this process simply and quickly. The software now gives us an overview of the production.”
How we work
You usually get a working prototype within 14 days. We build the rest step by step, so production never stops for a day.
We come to your shop floor
With your foremen and planners we walk through how production really runs and where time gets lost.
Working prototype within 14 days
The prototype shows that the system fits your production before development starts.
Launch on one workstation
We start where it hurts most. People try the system in live operation and we fine-tune it.
Rollout across production
We add more workstations and connections to machines or your ERP, and we look after operations.
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to replace our ERP?
No. We connect production planning to the system you already use and add only what is missing.
Will people on the shop floor manage it?
We design the controls together with the people who use them. At the terminal they scan a code and confirm, with as little typing as possible.
How long until the system is running?
You usually get a working prototype within 14 days. Then we launch the system in parts, so the first workstation uses it long before the whole system is finished.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the scope. After visiting your plant we prepare an estimate and recommend where to start, so the investment pays back as soon as possible.
