Planning

Planning can be quite complex because you often have to take a lot of factors into account. First of all, a distinction must be made between team planning and requirement planning. With team planning, the available time is central and plans are made based on this time. With requirement planning, the demand is taken into account. For example: in the catering industry, the demand for staff is higher when the weather is good than when it is bad.

In addition, account must be taken of availability (holidays, days off, etc.), responsibilities and the work schedule within teams.

Because you have to take into account many different factors, planning takes a lot of time. In addition, there is also a high risk of human error.

A software planning tool is a good solution here. Duty rosters can be drawn up quickly and efficiently. Checking whether the planning has been carried out effectively is also possible thanks to a link with time recording. There is also a continuous view of holiday balances for compensation days, holidays or other absences.

The correct preparation of a planning for one or more teams can be very complex. Among other things, a planner must take into account availability, responsibilities and the work schedule within teams. A software solution can help you optimize your planning process. To show you all details of our planning tools, we would be glad to give you a demo to explain you the functionalities of the 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.

A planning tool helps you to make your planning, taking into account various parameters. Whether it is a flexible personal planning (think flex jobs, students,...) or a teamplanning. Thus, you can optimize your processes and save time while getting a more global and precise view on your team(s).

Every company needs some kind of planning. You can distinguish between two types of planning. Team planning, to make the availability of a team transparent. But also planning for requirements, which is more often used in retail and in large businesses. The latter is more demand driven.
