For teams that cannot afford fragile report distribution anymore
A lot of IFS Cloud manufacturers still depend on Crystal Reports for critical operational output, customer documents, management summaries, and scheduled reporting cycles. The problem is not the reports themselves. The problem is the manual effort, inconsistent ownership, and unreliable scheduling around them.
Crystal Reports Scheduler gives you a web-based operating layer to manage recurring report execution, timing, and delivery in a more controlled, supportable way — while the estate moves to Report Designer / RDL.
- Daily operational and exception reports
- Weekly management summaries
- Customer or supplier-facing recurring reports
- Shift, finance, or compliance distribution routines
- Crystal-heavy environments that need better control
Three reasons operations teams buy this
Reduce manual effort
Move recurring reporting away from fragile handoffs, manual runs, and ad hoc staff dependency.
Create reporting discipline
Establish clearer ownership, repeatable schedules, and a more dependable mechanism for report execution and delivery.
Protect business continuity
Strengthen reporting operations so important daily, weekly, and monthly output is less exposed to human bottlenecks and process drift.
What the platform includes
Central scheduling
A web-based way to manage when recurring reports run and how those recurring schedules are maintained over time.
Email and file-share delivery
Distribute scheduled report output by email and/or file share to the people and teams that depend on it.
Run history
A record of which reports ran, when they ran, and whether they completed — without digging through server logs.
Failure alerts
Failure alerts to one mailbox so a missed Monday report is visible instead of silent.
Customer-hosted
Deployed on the customer's infrastructure for one plant. The binary stays in the plant; this is not a self-serve download.
How Plant Setup goes live
These steps are inside the CA$2,600 Plant Setup. Extra work beyond the SKU is billed at CA$150 per hour.
Report inventory review
Identify the recurring Crystal reports that matter most, how they run today, and where the process is most exposed.
Scheduling setup
Configure the scheduling layer, define delivery behaviour, and stand up a dependable model for recurring execution.
Rollout and handover
Launch with the highest-value scheduled reports first, stabilize operations, and hand over ownership with run history and failure alerts in place.
