Preactor International, the planning and scheduling software specialist, will launch a free entry-level solution, Preactor Express, in October.
Aimed specifically at providing smaller companies access to the next generation of industry leading solutions' flexibility and functionality, Preactor Express is based on the recently released Preactor 11.
Mike Novels, CEO of Preactor International said: "Preactor has become widely synonymous with production planning and scheduling excellence at every level. When many mid to top tier manufacturers think scheduling, they think Preactor and our new entry-level solution, Preactor Express, offers our proven technology to smaller companies historically reliant on spreadsheets or out-dated planning applications."
He continued by commenting on the significance of the decision: "We took the strategic and innovative decision to make Preactor Express available free of charge to enable manufacturers to gain agility, visibility and competitive advantage – especially as they deal with the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging from the recent recession. And, because of the excellent scalability of the Preactor family of solutions, there is an assured upgrade path available. Now every company, irrespective of size or budget, can discover for themselves, the widely acknowledged benefits that Preactor can deliver."
