Explore our partnership network and integration strategies below to learn how PlanetTogether powers a more responsive, integrated supply chain.
The modern manufacturing enterprise relies on a complex web of software, from ERP and MES to SCM and demand forecasting. However, data is only as valuable as its ability to be executed. Without a connected scheduling layer, these systems remain "digital silos" that fail to reflect the real-time constraints of the shop floor.
This page serves as a central knowledge hub for PlanetTogether Partnerships & Integrations, exploring how we connect with global technology leaders and expert implementation partners to create a seamless digital thread.
Digital transformation in manufacturing is moving toward a "Best-of-Breed" architecture. Instead of a single, rigid "all-in-one" system, leading organizations are choosing specialized tools that excel in their respective categories. Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) acts as the bridge in this architecture, turning the high-level plans of your ERP and the real-time tracking of your MES into math-verified, executable sequences.
The PlanetTogether Partner Network is a global ecosystem of manufacturing experts, digital consultants, and technology providers. We believe that successful APS implementation requires more than software; it requires deep industry knowledge and local support.
Our network is divided into three core categories:
Specialized consultants who guide manufacturers through the process of stabilizing and optimizing their scheduling logic.
Organizations that recognize the "Trust Gap" in standard ERPs and recommend APS to restore schedule credibility for their clients.
Software providers (ERP, MES, SCM) who integrate natively with PlanetTogether to offer a unified solution.
Data integrity is the foundation of a credible schedule. PlanetTogether offers bi-directional integration, meaning data flows seamlessly from your ERP into the scheduler, and optimized dates and sequences flow back into your system of record.
Our integration strategy focuses on REST API connectivity and native connectors for the world’s leading ERP platforms, including:
SAP S/4HANA & ECC
Microsoft Dynamics 365 (F&O and BC)
Oracle NetSuite
Acumatica & Sage
By automating this data exchange, manufacturers eliminate the "Manual Download" burden and ensure that planners are always working with the latest inventory, order, and machine status data.
PlanetTogether integrates with Kinaxis Maestro to bridge the gap between global supply chain planning and site-level execution. This allows for real-time "what-if" simulations that span from the supplier to the individual machine.
By connecting with AVEVA MES, PlanetTogether gains a real-time "heartbeat" of the factory floor. If a machine breaks down, the schedule can adjust instantly to protect the customer's delivery date.
Connecting with John Galt Solutions ensures that production schedules are driven by high-accuracy demand forecasts, reducing overproduction and minimizing the risk of stockouts.
Organizations that prioritize integration achieve measurable gains in agility and decision speed:
Eliminating the "ERP-MES Gap" ensures the floor finally trusts the plan.
Moving from "weekly batch updates" to real-time, event-driven scheduling.
Ensuring that sales, production, and procurement are all looking at the same data.
Protecting revenue by validating all delivery promises against real-world constraints across the entire stack.

Most ERP "scheduling" modules are built on infinite capacity assumptions and list-based views. They cannot calculate the multi-step ripple effects of a constraint change (like a machine going down). PlanetTogether provides the specialized math required for executable scheduling that standard ERPs lack.
Partners bring "Tribal Knowledge" and industry best practices. They help you move from "Manual Firefighting" to "Strategic Planning" by configuring the software to mirror the exact physical realities of your production floor.
