The plan is released — and
the floor already knows
what to run.

A plan only holds if the right people act the moment it changes. Fast Planning Software fires WhatsApp, email and SMS alerts from real planning events — a plan released, a work order raised, a purchase requisition cut, a stock item crossing reorder, a machine over 100% loaded — so owners pick up work orders, buyers raise requisitions, and the planner re-sequences before the schedule slips.

Three channels, one rulebook

WhatsApp is where the floor lives.
Email & SMS carry detail and reach.

All three channels fire from the same planning events, so you choose the medium per alert — a WhatsApp thread to the work-order owner on the shop floor, a one-line SMS when a machine is overloaded, a full email with the requisition detail for the buyer and the record. One event, your choice of channels.

Where the shop floor is
WhatsApp alerts
The conversational channel supervisors, work-order owners and buyers already check all day: plan releases, work-order assignments, re-sequenced priorities and overload warnings land in the thread they act from — the order, the machine and what's needed, in a message they don't have to log in to read.
Plan releases Work-order assignments Priority changes Read on the floor
Detail, record & reach
Email & SMS alerts
Email carries the full picture — plan, order, item, quantity, machine, due date — and doubles as an audit trail of who was told what, and when. SMS gets read anywhere on the shop floor or the field, with or without data — the channel of choice for an overloaded machine or a stock item that just went below reorder.
Full order context Audit paper trail Reads anywhere Urgent overloads
How it works

Planning events fire alerts.
Alerts drive the response.

No one has to remember to notify anyone. The plan's own lifecycle — a release, a work order, a purchase requisition, a reorder level crossed, a priority re-sequenced, a machine overloaded — is the trigger.

Planning Event Happens
A plan is released, a work order or PR is raised, an item crosses reorder, a priority changes, or a machine goes over 100% loading
Alert Rule Matches
The event maps to a recipient and a channel — planner, work-order owner, shop supervisor, buyer or stores, by WhatsApp, email, SMS or a combination
Message Delivered
The alert goes out with the plan, order or item, the machine or supplier and the expected action — enough to act on without logging in first
Action Lands on the Plan
The owner starts the work order, the buyer raises the requisition, the planner re-sequences — and the plan, loading and dashboards reflect it immediately
The alert families

Six alerts that keep every plan,
work order and requisition moving

Every alert is tied to a real event in the production plan — so the notification, the action and the schedule always agree.

Plan released Planner
Plan-release notifications
When a sales or production plan is released, planners and shop supervisors are told what's now in play — the plan reference, its period and volume — so the floor starts from the current plan, not last week's printout.
Fires on plan release, not on save
Plan reference and period named
Planner and supervisor kept in sync
Everyone works the same released plan
Work order Owner
Work-order alerts
When MRP raises a make-side work order and it's assigned, the work-order owner and shop supervisor get it — the part, the quantity, the routing and the due date — so the job starts on the machine, not in a pending list.
Fires when the WO is raised and assigned
Owner and supervisor named
Part, quantity and due date stated
WhatsApp, SMS or both
Requisition Buyer
Purchase-requisition alerts
When netting against stock leaves a buy-side shortfall and a purchase requisition is raised, the buyer and stores are alerted — the item, the net quantity and the need date — so procurement starts the moment the shortfall is known.
Fires when the PR is raised from netting
Item, net quantity and need date named
Buyer and stores in the loop together
No shortfall waits for the next review
Reorder level Stores
Reorder-level alerts
When a stock item crosses its reorder level on the reorder-level dashboard, stores and purchase are alerted — so a requisition is raised before a component shortage stalls a work order that was already on the plan.
Triggered at the reorder level
Item, on-hand and reorder point named
Feeds a purchase requisition
No plan waits on a stock-out
Priority change Owner
Schedule & priority-change alerts
When order or resource priority changes, or a work order is re-sequenced on the Gantt board, the affected owners are told — so the floor runs the new sequence, not the one it saw at shift start.
Fires on a priority or re-sequence change
New order and resource priority stated
Only affected owners are notified
Keeps the shop on the current sequence
Overload / late Planner
Delay & overload warnings
When a machine is loaded over 100% or an operation is running late against the planned schedule, the planner is warned — the machine, the % loading and the slipping order — so the load is re-balanced before the due date is missed.
Driven by machine loading and schedule
Machine, % loading and order named
Warns before the plan misses its dates
Re-balance the load in time
01 — Work-Order & Requisition Alerts

The work moves the moment
the alert lands

A work order sitting unassigned is just a plan that hasn't started. When MRP explodes the BOM and nets against stock and raises a make-side work order or a buy-side purchase requisition, the notification reaches the owner and the buyer with everything needed to move: which part, how many, which machine or supplier, by when. The plan and the people who run it start together.

Instant handoff on WO / PR raise — no morning-meeting lag
Full context: part, quantity, machine or supplier, due date
WhatsApp for the thread, SMS for the field — or both

02 — Plan Release & the Alert Ladder

Tell them at release.
Warn them only when it slips

Good alerting has a ladder. The plan-release notification tells the floor what's now in play. As MRP raises work orders and requisitions, owners and buyers pick them up. If a priority is re-sequenced on the Gantt, only the affected owners hear it. And if a machine tips over 100% loading, the planner is warned. Each rung is tied to a real planning event — so people act on exceptions, not on a printed schedule.

Plan-release alerts fire the moment the plan is released
WO and PR alerts fire on raise, by owner
Order and action named — accountability, not noise

03 — Reorder & Overload Warnings

The plan never stalls
on a missed signal

Most teams find out a component is short when a work order can't start, and that a machine was overloaded when the order runs late. Fast Planning alerts on the reorder level of every stock item, and warns on machines crossing 100% loading and operations slipping against schedule — so stores raise a requisition in time, and the planner re-balances the load before a due date is missed. The alerts feed the same machine-loading dashboard your planners already run.

Everything WhatsApp, email & SMS alerts cover

Plan-Release Notifications

A released sales or production plan tells planners and supervisors what's now in play, so the floor works the current plan — not a printout from the last meeting.

Work-Order Alerts

Owners and shop supervisors are told the moment a make-side work order is raised and assigned — part, quantity, routing and due date, on WhatsApp, SMS or both.

Purchase-Requisition Alerts

A buy-side PR raised from netted requirements alerts the buyer and stores, so procurement starts the moment the shortfall is known.

Reorder-Level Alerts

Stock items crossing their reorder level alert stores and purchase, feeding a requisition so no work order on the plan waits on a stock-out.

Priority & Overload Warnings

Re-sequenced priorities reach affected owners, and machines over 100% loading or operations running late warn the planner before the plan misses its dates.

Multi-Channel by Design

The same events drive WhatsApp, email and SMS together, and feed Dhruv AI analytics — one plan record behind every channel.

"We used to release the plan and then chase people to pick up their work orders, and only find a component was short when a job couldn't start. Now the owner gets the work order on WhatsApp the second it's raised, and the reorder alert reaches stores before the shortfall stalls the line — the plan runs without anyone chasing a report."
