One Interface. Three Ways to Plan. 100% Flexibility.

Vectotax and Phantasma’s joint solution for clearer, faster, and more flexible production planning

Together with Vectotax, we’ve created a planning board that gives manufacturers full control over how they plan — with manual drag-and-drop, rule-based automation, and AI-driven optimization available in one interface. Planners can switch between modes or combine them, adapting instantly to new priorities, machine downtimes, or urgent orders.

Integrated directly into TaxMetall, BusinessNow, and PlanningNow, the board keeps scheduling inside the ERP. No extra systems, no long setup, just faster and smarter planning.
