Rytplan isn't a standalone TNA tracker. Time & Action calendars share one engine with the planning board — build templates once, apply them to every order, and let target dates protect the schedule. Purpose-built for home & apparel manufacturing.
Tell us about your factory and we'll set up a trial. Your company data stays private to your company.
Define your activity library — fabric in-house, PP approval, cut date, and every follow-up in between — with lead-time offsets, the way your merchandising team already works.
Each new order gets its own Time & Action calendar automatically, with dates anchored to the order and its delivery — no copy-pasted spreadsheets.
TNA target dates flow straight into the planning board. Production is never scheduled before its materials and approvals can be ready.
Standalone TNA tools tell you a date slipped. Rytplan is a full production-planning platform where the TNA and the planning board are one system — so a target date isn't a reminder to chase someone, it's a constraint the schedule itself obeys.
Fabric in-house on the 12th? The planning board physically cannot schedule that sewing before the 12th. Every planning pass respects the target date — it isn’t a warning, it’s a wall.
Move orders, resort lines, change priorities — the schedule re-flows around your target dates instead of silently breaking them.
The planning board, TNA, learning curves and capacity all share one engine and one set of dates. Nothing is exported, imported, or re-typed between tools.
Standardise your critical path per buyer or product type. New orders inherit the right template instead of last season’s spreadsheet.
Every activity gets a planned date computed from the order’s own anchors. Update the order, and its calendar follows.
See every order’s critical path side by side — what’s done, what’s due, and what’s slipping — without chasing ten follow-up sheets.
Your data is isolated to your company — no other company can ever see it. Export or delete it anytime.
A TNA (Time and Action) calendar is the backbone of merchandising in apparel manufacturing: a dated checklist of every activity an order needs between confirmation and ex-factory — fabric booking, fabric in-house, trims, PP samples, approvals, cut date, sewing, finishing, and shipment. Each activity gets a planned date worked backwards from delivery, so everyone can see what must happen by when for the order to ship on time.
Done well, the TNA is the earliest warning system a factory has. A missed fabric in-house date today is a missed ex-factory date weeks from now — the TNA is where that shows up first.
Almost every factory starts with TNA spreadsheets, and almost every factory outgrows them. Dates are typed once and go stale. Every style needs its own copy, so ten buyers means ten diverging formats. Follow-up depends on whoever owns the file remembering to chase. And most importantly: the spreadsheet has no connection to the production plan, so an order can be scheduled to cut before its fabric even arrives — and nobody finds out until the line stops.
Rytplan treats the TNA and the production schedule as one system. Templates generate each order’s calendar automatically, the Gantt shows every order’s critical path in one view, and target dates feed directly into the planning board as scheduling floors. If fabric lands on the 12th, sewing simply cannot be planned before the 12th — the software enforces what the spreadsheet could only suggest.
That link works in both directions: when plans move, re-planning re-flows production around the target dates instead of breaking them. The TNA stops being a report you update after the fact and becomes the thing that keeps the plan honest.
TNA is part of Rytplan — request a trial for your team, and when you're ready to plan the whole factory, it's all one platform.
