Built for the way manufacturing works
One connected place
to run production.
RunMark brings production scheduling, orders, finished-goods inventory, and traceability together, giving small manufacturers the visibility they need without the complexity of enterprise software.
Learn how production scheduling software works
- Plan production around configured line eligibility, product rates, shifts, and changeovers.
- Keep orders, finished-goods inventory, and production status connected.
- Generate run-linked labels and shipping documents from the same order and scheduled-run data.
01
Orders
Import an Excel file or enter an order with SKU, quantity, and due date.
02
Scheduling
Place work on eligible lines using the configured rate and changeover time.
03
Production
Give the floor one live view of what is scheduled, running, and complete.
04
Traceability
Generate run-linked PDF labels without retyping production details.
05
Fulfillment
Apply on-hand inventory, track scheduled quantity, and prepare shipping documents.
Focused by design
ERP manages the business. RunMark runs production.
RunMark complements your ERP with line eligibility, product-specific rates, changeover time, live schedules, run status, labels, inventory-aware fulfillment, and production reporting. Keep accounting, purchasing, and bill-of-materials planning in the systems built for them.

What's inside
Everything a process
manufacturer actually needs.
The core capabilities that replace disconnected scheduling spreadsheets, manual constraint checks, retyped label data, and fragmented production records.
Constraint-aware scheduling
Line-level capability rules and per-SKU throughput rates baked into the scheduling engine. No more manually checking whether Line 3 can run 8" pipe.
Visual production timeline
See every line and run together. Start and finish times, due dates, status, and changeover capacity stay visible in one production view.
Excel order intake
Import orders from Excel, review parsed rows, resolve unmatched SKUs, and create work without retyping every customer order.
Automatic traceability labels
Generate PDF labels from the scheduled run with product, production date, line, run number, unit number, order reference, and part number.
Inventory-aware fulfillment
Use stock on hand before committing new production, split larger orders across eligible lines, and keep ordered, stocked, and scheduled quantities together.
Run & shift reporting
Track actual vs. scheduled output per run, per line, per shift. Know your utilization. Spot chronic underperformers before month-end.
When reality changes
A line goes down.
The plan keeps moving.
RunMark turns an unplanned stop into a reviewable re-plan, so the team can respond without rebuilding the entire schedule.
Preview the impact
RunMark finds the affected runs and proposes new times on eligible capacity before anything changes.
Approve the recovery
The planner reviews the proposed moves, then applies the re-plan or adjusts the schedule manually.
Line 2 down · 10:15 AM3 affected runs
RunMark does not detect equipment failures automatically. An operator or planner reports the downtime, reviews the proposed moves, and chooses whether to apply them.
Why teams switch
You know this drill.
We built the fix.
If any of this sounds familiar, RunMark was built to replace it — not sit on top of it.
The old way
- ✕A schedule spreadsheet that breaks the moment two people edit it at once
- ✕Which line can run what lives in one scheduler's head, not the system
- ✕Changeovers tracked on sticky notes and whiteboards, if at all
- ✕Labels hand-typed or copy-pasted from the schedule, unit by unit
- ✕"What's our utilization?" answered with a shrug and a guess
With RunMark
- ✓One live schedule the whole floor sees, updated in real time
- ✓Line capability rules built into the engine — not tribal knowledge
- ✓Changeover time from your product-to-product matrix reserved before every run
- ✓Print-ready PDF labels generated straight from the schedule
- ✓Actual vs. scheduled output, tracked per line and per shift

Who it's for
Built for the shop
not the enterprise.
RunMark is designed for manufacturers running 2–20 production lines who've outgrown spreadsheets but can't justify a $200K ERP implementation.
01
Pipe extrusion scheduling
Schedule HDPE and PVC pipe by approved line, line rate, the changeover minutes you enter for die, resin, and SDR changes, and due date—then label from the same run.
02Profile extrusion scheduling
Plan profile extrusion by approved line, demonstrated line speed, the changeover minutes you enter for tooling, color, and resin changes, and due dates—with connected run labels.
03Tube & conduit extrusion scheduling
Schedule tube and conduit by approved line, footage-based throughput, the changeover minutes you enter between diameter, wall, and packaging products, and delivery date.
04Blow molding scheduling
Schedule bottles and containers by machine capability, containers per hour, the changeover minutes you enter for mold, resin, and color changes, shifts, and due dates—then label cases from the same run.
05Thermoforming scheduling
Schedule thermoformed trays, clamshells, and parts by line capability, output rate, the changeover minutes you enter for tool, material, and gauge changes, shifts, and due dates—with labels from the same run.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is RunMark for?
Process manufacturers running roughly 2–20 production lines who schedule in spreadsheets today and want a shared, constraint-aware schedule without an ERP project. Pipe, profile, tube, and conduit extrusion are the core fit.
How much does RunMark cost?
$249/month or $2,490/year, with unlimited production lines, orders, and SKUs. The monthly plan includes up to 5 team members; the yearly plan has unlimited members and includes the AI features. Every account starts with a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.
How does the scheduling work?
You set which products each line can run, each line’s rate for each product, shift calendars, and the changeover minutes for each product-to-product switch. RunMark’s optimizer places orders on eligible lines inside shift hours, reserves changeover time before each run, and weighs due dates and changeover time when choosing slots. An order too large for any single slot can be split across lines.
Does RunMark optimize the changeover sequence?
Partly. RunMark’s optimizer never places two runs closer together than their changeover allows, and it weighs changeover time against due dates when choosing slots. If the optimizer is unavailable, a simpler fallback scheduler drafts the schedule instead and does not strictly enforce changeover gaps; the draft review shows which one produced it. Neither searches for the sequence with the least total changeover across the week, and both only know the changeover minutes you enter for each product pair.
Does RunMark replace our ERP?
No. RunMark is a focused production scheduling and traceability layer. It does not do accounting, purchasing, or bill-of-materials planning. You can start from direct order entry or Excel order imports.
What goes on a traceability label?
Labels are generated as PDFs from the scheduled run and can carry product, production date, line, run number, unit number, order reference, part number, and company identity. They print on any label printer that prints PDFs.

APS vs. ERP vs. Spreadsheets: What Each One Actually Does for Scheduling
ERP, APS, and spreadsheets get treated as three price points for the same thing. They're not. Here's what each one is actually built to do, and where small manufacturers get stuck picking between them.

Changeover time is the hidden line item in most production schedules. Here's what it actually costs, why it gets underestimated, and how to plan around it instead of discovering it on the floor.

The number on the equipment spec sheet and the number your line actually sustains on a given product are rarely the same. Here's how to estimate the one that actually matters for planning.
