About BCT Since 1984, Business Computer Technologies, Inc. has recognized the importance of utilizing current technology within the business processes of companies in the manufacturing and distribution markets. BCT also recognized that in order to provide the best solutions, we needed to have the fundamental skills that enable us to pass on knowledge to the customers we serve. We continue to deploy this business philosophy through the implementation and support of back-office and add-on solutions that provide the highest level of ROI for our customers. In 2003, BCT partnered with Preactor International and Quinn & Associates to provide integration to a World Class Finite Capacity Graphical Scheduling system to our clients.
BCT Preactor Interface v11 The BCT Preactor Interface provides a complete interface between Macola ES / Progression (SQL) and the Preactor V11 Graphical Finite Capacity Scheduling system.

Initially, we draw upon the current orders in the Shop Floor or Production Order modules, then the production planner is allowed to fine tune the schedule to match your needs, and lastly the information is updated in Macola.
