DO.Impact Core vs PlanetTogether APS

DO.Impact Core is a self-hosted, single-user web app for small manufacturers that covers strategy, commercial work, operations, people, and execution. Its operations module includes daily management, shop-floor workflows, scheduling over 0–12 weeks, supply chain, SIOP, NPI, quality, and risk, alongside a library of more than 250 industrial KPIs. Execution includes A3, 8D, 5 Whys, fishbone, and DMAIC problem-solving methods, plus a Gantt actions timeline. Operators can use a touch-friendly /floor mode, and the TitanScale Template company is pre-loaded to populate modules at first launch. Core is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 and stores data in the user's own database, machine, or private network, with no accounts, subscriptions, or tracking. Self-hosting requires Bun or Node.js 20+, the Supabase CLI with Docker, and a local or hosted Supabase project. Local single-user mode disables row-level security; the maker says not to expose it publicly without an authentication proxy.

PlanetTogether APS helps manufacturers create production schedules that account for capacity, materials, labor, routings, changeovers, due dates, inventory, and ERP/MES data. Its capabilities include capacity and inventory planning, bottleneck management, material availability planning, schedule optimization, analytics, and what-if scenarios. The software can optimize schedules using more than 50 sequencing methods, with KPIs such as profitability, throughput, or customer priority. It supports batch, discrete, process, and multi-site manufacturers across industries including food and beverage, life sciences, chemicals, aerospace and defense, machinery, metal fabrication, mobility, high-tech, and packaging. Integrations can use APIs, databases, flat files, middleware, Azure Data Factory, or customer-owned iPaaS tools; supported systems include SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, NetSuite, and others. The server can run in the cloud or on-premise, alongside a local scheduling client. Version 12 adds web reporting with embedded Power BI and a view-only web Gantt chart for published schedules. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.
