The Workforce Planning Software for Manufacturing & Logistics
Planpoint is a user-friendly WFM solution for manufacturing and logistics. Optimize staff schedules and production lines, reduce operational challenges, and ensure the best possible staffing levels.
Efficient Planning for Stable Production
Planpoint helps you deploy the right people at the right time, with less manual work and more control over capacity, staffing, and performance.
Optimized Workforce Scheduling
Planpoint enables you to quickly create clear schedules, tailored to staffing needs, contracts, availability, and regulations. Ideal for production companies with shifts, teams, and rotating work hours. Build schedules that match the realities of your shop floor:
- Base and shift schedules: support for fixed, rotating, and cyclical rosters
- Custom planning: factor in availability, skills, and production demand
- Real-time adjustments: make quick changes and resolve conflicts instantly
- Smart checks: automatic validation of rest times, work hours, and compliance
Smart Production Planning
Planpoint introduces a powerful scheduling model for manufacturing and logistics. Define per shift or service:
- Required capacity and skills
- Tasks, service hours, and physical workload
- Distribution across production lines or teams
Planpoint then automatically selects the right employees, factoring in experience, competencies, and availability. This minimizes errors and saves valuable time.
You can also plan across multiple production lines or teams, with real-time insights into demand and available capacity.
Automatic Scheduling
Let Planpoint automatically generate the most efficient shifts and schedules based on:
- Availability, preferences, and skills
- Legal and contractual restrictions
- Required time blocks: early, late, night…
- Maximum deviations per hour or shift
Planpoint intelligently distributes work across teams and automatically assigns the right people for each shift – ensuring you always have the necessary capacity and expertise in place.
