DELFT; December 13, 2022 - Systems Navigator is excited to introduce Dropboard 3.5 to assist you in getting the most out of your planning & scheduling platform. Leading companies have embraced Dropboard technology to successfully deploy advanced planning & scheduling technology throughout their enterprise.

These are the highlights of the new release:


New Inventory module

Scheduling vessels & barges while considering product inventory over time is now possible. With Dropboard’s new inventory module you can now schedule all future product (un)load tasks and include product inventory as a constraint during manual or automatic smart scheduling.
