Fast Planning Software is a Fast Technology product, built in Pune (Nigdi) by Improsys — a company whose name is short for "improvement in systems". We build the 12-product Fast Suite on one shared platform, and Fast Planning is its planning profile: the MRP and PPC modules that turn demand into a costed, capacity-checked, scheduled plan.
Improsys started the way most useful enterprise software starts — by watching a real problem happen inside a real factory, and deciding it shouldn't be that hard.
The name is the mission statement: Improsys — improvement in systems. Long before there was a "Fast Suite", there was consulting work with manufacturers around Pune: mapping how a forecast or a confirmed order became a production plan, how a BOM should be exploded and netted against what was actually in stores, and how often those chains broke in a spreadsheet, a shortage no one saw coming, or a machine double-booked in someone's head. The software grew out of the process work, not the other way round. That's why every Fast product starts with your process map and a gap analysis, not a feature checklist.
Out of that consulting practice came a single, long-lived business platform — and out of the platform came the 12-product Fast Suite: Fast ERP, Fast CRM, Fast Quality, Fast Complaint, Fast Billing, Fast WMS, Fast Inventory, Fast Production, Fast Planning, Fast Maintenance, Fast Audit, and Fast Project Management. They aren't twelve separate codebases bolted together; they are one ASP.NET and SQL Server platform with different module clusters switched on. Buy one product and it runs standalone. Add a second later and they already share the same item, BOM, customer, and user masters — no duplicate data entry, no integration project.
Fast Planning carries that philosophy into the space between demand and execution. It is the MRP and production-planning-and-control (PPC) profile of the platform — the modules that capture a sales or production plan, explode the Bill of Materials, net each item against stock and open supply, split the shortfall into a Purchase Requisition to buy and a Work Order to make, and lay the result onto finite machine capacity with a DayPilot Gantt board. Reference deployments at Nikhtish Engineering and Micro India — make-to-order engineering and component manufacturers — run those modules on the very same records Fast Production and Fast Inventory use, alongside longstanding Improsys PPC customers such as KSB Pumps, Simmonds Marshall and Sealmatic India, because that's the point: the plan and the execution should be one continuous chain, not two disconnected systems.
Today the whole suite is built and supported from one base in Nigdi, Pune — by the same team that answers your support calls. Under the Fast Technology brand, we serve manufacturers of every kind across India and worldwide, cloud or on-premise, and we still measure ourselves the way a consultancy does: by whether the customer's system actually improved.
These aren't framed posters on a wall — they're the questions we ask before any feature goes into a Fast product.
Every implementation starts with requirement analysis by functional experts — how demand arrives, how the BOM is netted, who raises work orders and purchase requisitions, how machines are loaded and sequenced — followed by a gap analysis. Then the software is configured to fit the process. Requirements are captured in an SRS and signed off before anything is built.
A plan that assumes stock and capacity it doesn't have is worse than no plan. Fast Planning nets every requirement against live stock on hand, open purchase orders, open work orders and reserved stock, and lays work onto finite machine capacity — so a plan is a commitment the shop floor can actually keep, not an optimistic total.
If an item, a BOM, or a user is entered once, it should never be typed again in another module. All 12 Fast products share one data backbone — the plan reads the same item master, BOM and stock that the production, inventory and purchase modules use, so a plan becomes a live work order and purchase requisition with no re-keying.
Whether it's a single job-work shop or a multi-plant automotive group, these are the fixed points of every Fast implementation.
Information security and quality management standards we hold ourselves to.
Every Fast product runs standalone and shares the same data backbone when combined. These are the suite products a planning team most often runs alongside Fast Planning.
