MORE MX provides production visibility and manufacturing workflow tools for make-to-order operations. Its planning tools assess stock, sales and purchase orders, multi-level bills of materials, and production already underway to suggest what to make or buy. Workcenter schedules prioritize workloads, account for finite capacity, and forecast deliveries; planners can adjust schedules with drag-and-drop what-if feedback. A capacity calendar covers variable shifts, rosters, holidays, maintenance downtime, start times, and breaks. Factory screens collect job-time and QA data in real time on touchscreens or standard PC terminals, and the platform supports barcode-driven workflows. MORE MX presents production and inventory information from an EXO system. It is listed for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, extensions, and self-hosted use. The software is paid, with pricing available on request; visitors can request a free demo.
