Good Afternoon fellow Sellers!
I run an "at home" buisness through multiple online stores and its starting to become a bit of an issue tracking due dates thoughout them.
Does anyone know of / use a scheduling tool of some sort that would allow me to put an order into it with a due date and then give me an overview of whats in the system?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Not really sure what you mean, but if you are running several OL stores, you should, at the very least, be using a spreadsheet (csv) system that you can upload information from on a regular basis to each business.
You can set this (csv) to record orders placed / outstanding / received / cost and exp / paid for / backorders etc from buyers if that is how you are running your business.
A little more information would be good -
bit of an issue tracking due dates thoughout them.
Due dates for what ? Delivery to buyers or receipt of orders you have placed?
allow me to put an order into it with a due date
Again, due date for what ? An order you are waiting for ? or an order you need to send?
an overview of whats in the system?
An over view of what ? Your stock levels ? Items not recieved ? Items sold ?
is this a eBay business or general OL store ?

Thanks for your response ๐
Part of the issue we have is that everything we sell is custom made to a clients requirements.
It's the scheduling of these custom orders thats is becoming overwhelming, im looking for a system of some sort that would allow me to input all the orders with a due date for shipping to allow us to plan production runs.
The majority of orders come from ebay and i have found the "Days awaiting shipment" feature very handy.
Something like this that would allow me to enter jobs from other sources so i can see whats coming up would be great.

Dunno if/not its of any help but Wikipedia has a list of scheduling software available around the world.
I've not tried any of it but maybe its worth a read to you.
