31% overtime reduction; 71% → 94% on-time delivery
Our work orders lived on whiteboards and Excel sheets. When a rush order came in, we would spend half a day reshuffling the schedule manually. ThunderStaff built a smart scheduling system that sequences jobs by machine availability, setup time, and priority. It auto-adjusts when rush orders hit and alerts supervisors before bottlenecks form. Our on-time delivery went from 71% to 94%, and we cut overtime by 31%. The shop floor is calmer and our customers noticed.
