Interface? – A simple task for Visual Planning

The smart integration of data and processes in resource planning

When planning and scheduling tasks form part of a larger enterprise system, it is important to integrate the day-to-day data and communication flows as effectively as possible. The Visual Planning software is a leading planning tool that integrates seamlessly and reliably with Office tools, document storage systems and centralised ERP systems.

Whether connecting to Excel, Word or Outlook, or linking to Dropbox, OneDrive and many more – Visual Planning’s integrated import/export functions enable easy data exchange. Naturally, this has also been the case for many years with core business applications such as ERP, CRM, CMMS and others.

Integrated enterprise IT makes planning and working more effective for end users and ensures that information is more reliable. This prevents duplicate entries and automates updates between systems. The REST and SOAP APIs built into Visual Planning enable even deeper, seamless integration within the organisation. This applies to both applications developed in-house and those from third parties.

Ad hoc solutions
for everyday problems

With the latest version – Visual Planning VP8 – customers of the resource planning software now also have access to a dedicated developer API (‘API Designer’). This allows Visual Planning to be integrated with a company’s own applications, or even enables the creation of bespoke applications.

Business-critical problems can be solved using automated functions and newly developed features. External triggers can also be used to create or amend any resources or schedules.
