Visual Planning – Adding a bit of oomph to PEP

Staff planning means determining when the right number of staff, with the right skills, need to be in the right place at the right time. For schedulers, this often presents major challenges, and it is easy to lose track of the big picture. Digital tools such as the staff planning software Visual Planning offer simple yet ingenious solutions.

Visual Planning – the effective staff planning software for businesses of all sizes

Staff resource planning is a key element for every firm, organisation and business. In today’s increasingly complex world, planning and forecasting the need for regular teams or additional staff requires the use of precisely tailored, modern tools. Organising assignments and tasks, managing qualifications, training or shifts, whilst simultaneously keeping track of holiday periods and absences, must not cost unnecessary time and money. Rather, efficiency in resource planning is essential.

A simple staff planning tool for optimisation

Modern, digital solutions such as the Visual Planning staff planning software offer simple yet ingenious possibilities for this. Without the need for programming and suitable for any industry, the resource planning programme is tailored to the individual needs of the company. The integration with mobile devices such as tablets, laptops and smartphones is also practical and up-to-date. The staff planning app is available for both Android and iOS.

Visual Planning is a team-oriented, flexible Staff deployment planning software for the scheduling and planning of company resources. Timetables and data can be edited in real time with colleagues, business partners and even customers. Individual permissions control access.

Staff are assigned to tasks, duty rosters, projects or roles using drag-and-drop. Thanks to its graphical interface and ease of use, the workforce planning software simplifies planning tasks, regardless of the working time models used.

In addition, the electronic planning board makes it easier to manage available or newly available capacity, the promotion of qualified staff and departmental restructuring.

For all staff planning and for every project

With clear staff deployment planning and a visual representation of the planning processes, the planners responsible at Visual Planning have access to all relevant information at all times: working hours, absences, overtime, downtime or time recording.

Furthermore, the electronic planning board also caters to the need for flexible working hours. It therefore also provides an overview in the face of fluctuating staff planning.

A variety of freely selectable time scales assist with planning. Hourly, weekly, monthly or annual views ensure you always have a clear overview. Capacity utilisation plans highlight bottlenecks.

Manage the staff deployment planning software from anywhere

Thanks to its multi-client capability, users can log in and work simultaneously, depending on the licence type.

In addition to the mostly stationary PC workstations, there is great flexibility when it comes to planning via mobile devices: with additional licences, users can access Visual Planning at any time and work on their planning in online or offline mode. It’s very simple – whilst travelling by train, on a building site, in other operational areas or whilst out on field service.

Visual Planning offers ‘value for money’ and is a workforce planning software solution available both as an on-premises solution and as SaaS. With a comparable range of features, its value for money is unrivalled in the market. Thanks to its modular structure, the licensing model can be tailored precisely to the needs of a company or project and expanded in a fully scalable manner.
