Why ReadyOps

Operational control, not another calendar or an ERP project

ReadyOps is built for what happens inside your building: what runs next, what is late, what material is short, what equipment is due, and who is trained. Here is where it fits against the alternatives, described by workflow rather than feature claims.

Category fit

Three honest comparisons

Each of these tools is good at what it was designed for. The question is which one matches the work you are trying to control.

Spreadsheets and whiteboards

Built for
Getting started fast, with zero cost and total flexibility.
Where it strains for a small shop
Each list is built differently, nothing flags itself, and the shop depends on whoever maintains it.
Where ReadyOps sits
The same structure every week: defined fields, flagged rows, and summaries that update from the list you already keep.

Field-service software

Built for
Dispatching appointments and crews to customer sites, with quoting and invoicing around it.
Where it strains for a small shop
Work that lives inside your building — routed through work centers, waiting on material, or sitting in WIP — does not map cleanly to a visit on a calendar.
Where ReadyOps sits
Built around in-shop control: job routing, work center load, WIP, material, maintenance, and training.

Full ERP

Built for
Integrated finance, purchasing, planning, and production across a larger organization.
Where it strains for a small shop
Implementation, data discipline, and ongoing administration are real projects, which is a lot for a team of ten to thirty people.
Where ReadyOps sits
A narrower scope you can set up yourself and run as a daily routine, with your data in files you own.

ReadyOps does not claim to replace a field-service platform or an ERP. It covers shop-floor operating control, and it does that today in Excel.

What changes

The views you run the week from

  1. 01

    One prioritized job list

    What runs today, in order, with the customer and promise date attached.

  2. 02

    One view of what is late or at risk

    Rows flagged against your own risk window, not buried in a tab nobody opens.

  3. 03

    One inventory and reorder view

    On-hand counts with reorder points, so buying happens before a setup stops.

  4. 04

    One maintenance-due view

    PMs due and overdue by asset, with a downtime log behind them.

  5. 05

    One place for SOP and training status

    Current procedure revisions and who is signed off on what.

Built to be inspectable

You can open it and see how it works

Nothing is hidden behind a black box. These are verifiable facts about the files themselves.

  • No macros

    Plain Excel formulas and Tables. Nothing to enable, nothing your IT policy has to approve.

  • No outside data connections

    The workbook does not call out to any service. Your data stays in your file.

  • Editable Excel Tables

    Add columns, rename fields, and change formatting. It is your workbook, not a locked app.

  • Example workbooks included

    Every system ships with an illustrative sample copy so you can see it working before you enter real data.

  • Plain-language instructions

    Written for a shop, not for an ERP consultant. Setup steps, field definitions, and a daily routine.

  • Automatic digital delivery

    Download links are delivered right after checkout. No waiting on a scheduled call.

A cloud platform is being built in stages. Nothing on this site describes cloud functionality as available, and we will label each capability live only when it ships.

Start with the free board, or take the whole system.

The Free Shop Priority Board uses the same field naming as the paid systems, so nothing you set up gets thrown away later.
