Krino’s print production scheduling software gives you one live view of every job, every machine and every deadline. No more whiteboard that is out of date by morning tea, no more spreadsheet that only one person understands. When work is sequenced, assigned and visible in a single place, the floor runs to plan and your team stops chasing status updates. It is the production heart of Krino’s connected shop system, sitting between your quotes and your invoices.
The schedule updates as the shop moves. As jobs are quoted, approved and started, they slot into the queue in the order they will run. Anyone can open Krino and see what is on each press, what is next, and what is due today. That shared picture is the difference between a plan and a guess, and it is the whole reason to move off a static board that is wrong the moment someone walks away from it.
Drag a job to reorder it. Assign it to the right press, wide-format printer or finishing station. Move a rush job to the front and everything behind it shifts automatically. Because the schedule knows each machine and its capacity, you are not juggling it all in your head; you can see it laid out in front of you and adjust with a couple of clicks.
A list tells you what to do; a schedule tells you whether it fits. Because Krino knows your machines and the time each job needs, the queue is really a capacity plan. You can see when a day is full, when there is room to take on more, and when a promised date is quietly at risk. That turns the turnaround times you quote in print quoting into a decision you can back, not a hopeful guess made at the counter.
When one station is overloaded, you see it before it becomes a late job. A press stacking up, a finishing step with no slack, a due date that no longer fits: the schedule surfaces the pinch points so you can move work, add a shift or reset a customer expectation while there is still time to do it calmly.
Every shop lives with the last-minute rush. The question is what it costs you. Drop an urgent job into the queue and Krino shows you exactly what it pushes back, so you can promise a realistic time instead of a hopeful one. You can see whether the rush actually fits before you commit to it, then reset the affected jobs in one move rather than a dozen phone calls.
The biggest time saver is not the drag-and-drop; it is that you only update the plan once. Change a due date, reorder the queue or reassign a machine, and the front counter, the designers and the operators all see the same thing instantly. No ring-around, no arguing about which version is current, no two whiteboards that disagree.
Scheduling by hand works until the day gets messy. Krino’s AI production scheduling, powered by AI job scheduling, can suggest the best running order for you: grouping similar work, respecting due dates and machine constraints, and cutting changeovers. It is one of the AI features no Australian competitor markets, and you stay in control. The AI proposes an order; you approve or adjust it.
Scheduling is not an island. Each card on the board is a real job record, so moving it on the schedule updates its status everywhere. Open the card to see specs, files and proofs in job management, and when the work is finished and shipped it flows straight to invoicing and syncs to Xero. The plan on the floor and the numbers in accounts stay in step, with no re-keying between them.
Krino is built in Australia for print and sign shops, so the scheduling reflects how these jobs really run: mixed digital, wide-format and finishing work, short runs, tight turnarounds and the occasional reprint. Support is local, the interface is modern, and there are no per-user fees, so the plan is something the whole shop shares rather than a licence you have to ration.
A spreadsheet or whiteboard is a snapshot that one person has to maintain. Krino’s scheduling is live and shared: it reflects real jobs, updates as work moves, and everyone sees the same plan. It also connects to quoting, job management and invoicing, so the schedule is never out of sync with the rest of the shop.
No. You can sequence and assign every job by hand. The AI option is there when you want a smart starting point on a busy day; it suggests an order and you approve or change it. Nothing runs without your say-so.
Yes. The interface is modern and simple, and because Krino is one flat price with no per-user fees, you can give every operator access without worrying about seat costs. Book a demo and we will show it running with your machines and your kind of work.
