Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could upgrade your companies scheduling system with out upgrading every computer in your enterprise? I recently came across an article that touched on this very topic. You should definitely take a look at this article if you are interested in thin production scheduling.

Thin client refers to the relationship of the client to the server where the software is stored and the data is processed. The central server relays information and feedback from and to the client machine. It is sought after because of its ease to deploy and has the ability to be maintained easily. The system has the capability of being run from one central location meaning, if you have multiple locations you will only need to maintain one centralized database and applications server. This then results in a less expensive system since it does not require a server at each location and modifications can be completed from any location.

By storing all of the data in a central server the entire company will be using the same software at all of your locations. This offers accurate comparisons and a high-level of views into business performance. In addition you data can be viewed in real-time allowing you to receive live updates instantly.
