What is a planning tool?

A planning tool is a software programme that helps a company to draw up schedules. There are different types of planning tools. There is a job & team planning tool, for example. Such a tool can take into account, among other things, availability, responsibilities and the work schedule within teams. In the case of Protime, employees can also quickly access their personal planning. Thanks to a link with time registration, you also have immediate insight into whether the planning has been carried out effectively. Finally, managers and employees have insights in leave balances and employees can easily request leave.

In addition, you also have flexible staff planning. Flexible personnel planning and administration is often quite a challenge. Such tools are used in highly demanding markets that depend on a flexible workforce, such as the hospitality, retail, or event sectors.
