Benefits for dental labs

Clearer daily priorities

Use the calendar to connect finish dates with the cases due on each day.

Less hidden late work

Finished and in-progress status remains visible in the schedule instead of hiding in a separate list.

Better rush case decisions

Review the wider month before accepting work that could displace existing commitments.

More predictable handoffs

Open the underlying case from the calendar so scheduling and production information stay together.
