Planning Solution
PlanningForge provides organizations with intelligent solutions and software components that allow them to optimize workforce planning: ensuring the right people with the right skills are fulfilling the right job at the right time.
PlanningForge is a scalable, flexible & open-standards platform for task-driven operational workforce planning. The solution is tailored to the specific and complex scheduling needs of services organisations, which is driven by the often contradictory objectives and policies of the organisation, its customers and employees, as well as public authorities and unions.
PlanningForge generates optimal schedules considering:
- Employee availability (contracts, work rosters, holidays, ,...)
- Qualifications (staff certification, training, skills, ...)
- Preferences (location, overtime flexibility, ...)
- Legislation (labour law, collective agreements...)
- Company business rules (financial, cultural, regional...
PlanningForge delivers a planning engine (Li3 Solver) specifically designed to reflect these factors with its propriety heuristic algorithm. Numerous out-of-the-box parameters allow planners to flexibly model specific business rules without any programming.
Support for the workforce planning process is ensured through comprehensive functionality and a range of modules that can be further customized.
Open in nature through the use of Web Services technology, PlanningForge integrates easily with existing back-end systems (time registration, ERP, payroll, ...), while providing end-users a wide range of extendable user-interfaces through its 3-tier architecture and the PlanningForge SDK (software development kit).
