Axolt runs your entire production planning and scheduling process directly inside Salesforce connecting demand, materials, capacity, and shop floor in one real-time flow.

The Root Cause

Why Production Planning
Breaks Down

Manufacturing doesn't slow down because of lack of demand — it slows down because planning and execution live in disconnected systems.

In Most Environments

  • Planning happens in one system
  • Scheduling happens in another
  • Inventory updates come later
  • Production teams work on outdated plans

The Impact

  • Missed deadlines and late deliveries
  • Idle machines or overloaded resources
  • Production bottlenecks
  • Reactive decision-making

With Axolt, planning and scheduling are fully connected to inventory, orders, and production — all inside Salesforce. By the time plans are updated in legacy tools, production is already behind. Axolt eliminates that lag with real-time MRP on Salesforce.

Before vs After

Eliminate Delays Between
Planning and Execution

Traditional planning creates gaps between what was scheduled and what is actually happening on the floor. Axolt closes that gap in real time.

Traditional Process
1
Plan created in spreadsheet or standalone tool
2
Schedule built separately, often manually
3
Production starts — often on outdated information
4
Changes communicated via email or meetings
5
Plans updated hours or days later
Axolt on Salesforce
1
Sales orders automatically trigger production demand
2
MRP confirms material availability in real time
3
Schedules adjust instantly to capacity and supply
4
Shop floor operates on a single, live plan
5
Delivery performance tracked end to end
