Resource management software that provides the flexibility you need

Today’s companies are facing the challenges of highly fluctuating demand, seasonal peaks and new digital business models. Flexibility at the workplace and the optimal use of all resources available is more important now than ever. By allocating resources intelligently, creating optimal shift schedules for your personnel and detecting bottlenecks in real time, intelligent resource management software assists in scheduling both people and machines.

Rethinking scheduling – data-based and dynamic!

The software accounts for all relevant parameters, including availability, qualifications, machine capacities and targets. It then uses this information to automatically suggest schedules for optimal team composition – shift by shift. Schedules are created with just a single click and can be re-generated whenever requirements change, helping you avoid overcapacity, reduce costs and increase the efficiency of your operations.

Applications of resource management

Resource management has several different applications. Whether your company is a startup or an international corporation, complex decisions requiring quick action affect us all. The software has proven itself in several sectors, and constantly changing order structures, sick leave, recurring manufacturing errors or high process costs are the bread and butter of intelligent resource management. It’s the ideal companion for anyone looking to coordinate resources so their company can reach its full potential.

Resource management includes several different functions. Here are the most important ones for us:

Connection through communication – mobile and integrated

The integrated app means that employees can always access their current shift schedules. They can also submit work-related requests, vacation requests and sick leave confirmation. If an employee unexpectedly calls out, their shift is made available for coverage directly in the system – quickly, transparently and without any complications. The app is browser-based and thus works independently of the end device.

Participation as a success factor

The solution encourages your staff to actively participate in personnel assignment planning. Allowing employees’ voices to be heard improves team satisfaction and motivation. At the same time, the solution greatly simplifies communication between scheduling and production – a real win-win for everyone involved.

Plug & play, ready-to-go

The software is based in the cloud, so it can be integrated into existing IT infrastructure easily. It can be used immediately and is also scalable for everything from a small single location to a complex multi-site operation. Data imports are flexible, the user interface is intuitive and the amount of training required is minimal.

FAQs – the most important questions and answers

The solution is web-based Software as a Service. It does not require any additional IT infrastructure.

Resource management software isn’t specific to any one sector. Rather, it serves to answer challenging, complex questions such as “How can I optimally schedule shifts for my personnel?” or “How can I best utilize my machines and technical equipment?”
