Keolis Rennes coordinates inspection and security teams using Visual Planning

Company

Keolis Rennes is a subsidiary of the Keolis Group and operates the STAR network on behalf of Rennes Métropole. Its services include buses and the metro, as well as supplementary mobility services for people with reduced mobility, bicycles and local car-sharing schemes. The original source states that the company has more than 1,000 employees.

Background

The Control and Security Department needed a flexible, collaborative solution for operational planning. Excel spreadsheets did not provide a clear enough overview to coordinate teams, tasks and resources reliably.

Solution

Visual Planning creates daily roadmaps for each team and consolidates planning information in a shared application. Reports provide a comprehensive overview of resources and enable a detailed analysis of activities. Among other things, the system manages working hours, absences, and the location, type and duration of inspections on buses and the metro.

Results

Keolis Rennes reports time savings, more productive workflows and improved internal communication. Annual plans and daily roadmaps can be drawn up in a more structured manner. However, the source does not specify any measurement methods or provide quantified productivity figures.

“Visual Planning helps us to further develop our management and optimise our human and material resources.”
