Our software is designed to be easily expandable into the future if there are changes. For example, when there is an increased or growing workload, or a sharp increase in customer demand.

Absolutely. According to our philosophy, a modern WFM solution should be able to communicate fully with other systems.

Planpoint is indeed available for mobile devices! Your HR department, planners and employees can access Planpoint from any laptop, PC, tablet or smartphone with an Internet connection.

This way, your employees can manage everything themselves: consult their personal work schedule, get a real-time overview of performance and vacations. Also submit requests such as leave, expenses, telecommuting or schedule changes themselves. These requests automatically reach the supervisor or scheduler. The latter is tailored to the employee. Employees see only those things that are relevant to them.

In this way, we not only encourage engagement, self-direction and empowerment. It makes monitoring and managing your workforce more efficient, reduces the workload for HR, among others, and reduces the risk of errors.

An implementation always starts with a kick-off with a Déhora project leader. The business objectives and the intended end result are determined together. We determine what needs to be set up, how it will be done, who will do it and who from your organization will be involved.

After this kick-off, it is clear to everyone what is expected of each other and how the implementation will proceed.

Please get in touch if you would like an estimate of the cost for your organization.

There are several factors that have a direct influence on the duration of the implementation of Planpoint. The changes that come with the implementation of modern WFM software have an impact on every layer of your organization. From work processes and procedures to activities and perception on the work floor.

A small organization with a relatively simple planning can get started the same month. A large organization with a complex workforce can mean an implementation time of six months or longer. These are indicative only and implementation times may vary depending on the specific requirements of your organization. Moreover, an implementation is often not only limited to a technical start-up, but also often includes a number of phases such as: analysis, planning, design, testing and training.
