Workforce scheduling

Workforce scheduling software is a digital solution that makes it easy to create, manage, and adjust work schedules. It automatically considers availability, contract types, absences, and other requirements.

This reduces manual puzzle work, increases efficiency, and minimizes errors. With a tool like Planpoint, you schedule faster and smarter.

Any team that works with variable shifts or rotating schedules benefits from scheduling software – from healthcare providers and municipalities to technical services or retail.

As soon as you manage more than just a handful of employees, manual scheduling becomes too complex. Planpoint helps keep the process clear, reliable, and efficient.

A workforce scheduling app, or employee portal, gives employees mobile access to their work schedule. Via their smartphone, they can instantly see when and where they work, request changes, or swap shifts.

With Planpoint, you don’t just get a scheduling app for employees, but also for team leads – offering real-time insights and self-service features.

Scheduling software gathers all input (such as availability, absences, preferences, and staffing needs) and helps you quickly create accurate rosters.

Planpoint also provides automatic suggestions, visual planning boards, and integration with time tracking and HR. Everything is centralized, clear, and free from duplicate work.

The price depends on your organization’s size, the number of employees, and the modules you need. Thanks to Planpoint’s modular setup, you only pay for what you use.

Smaller teams can start with an accessible entry package, while larger organizations can rely on tailored solutions with full implementation and support.

Good software is intuitive, flexible, and tailored to your sector and team. It should not only support scheduling but also communication, registration, and reporting.

Planpoint stands out for its combination of user-friendliness, scalability, and smart features – from AI suggestions to integrations with other systems.

An additional strength is its integration into a broader workforce management platform. With Planpoint, scheduling seamlessly connects with time tracking, HR management, and administration. One central system – fewer tools, no duplicate data, and a smooth process from planning to payroll.

Data-driven workforce scheduling means making decisions based on objective information rather than gut feeling. This includes occupancy rates, absence patterns, historical schedules, employee competencies, and real-time availability.

By analyzing and visualizing these insights, you can make better choices about capacity, staffing, and planning.

With Planpoint, this approach is easy to apply. You instantly see overstaffing or understaffing, trends, and deviations. That way, you can adjust proactively, improve efficiency, and manage workload more effectively. Data-driven planning isn’t just smarter – it also brings more clarity and confidence to your team.

Scheduling software saves time, reduces errors, and increases engagement. Employees always know their schedules, can give input, and stay connected.

For organizations, it ensures staffing control, prevents under- or overplanning, and enables better decision-making through data insights. With Planpoint, you have it all in one solution: scheduling, communication, self-service, and reporting.

Yes. Good scheduling software should be flexible enough to support different methods – such as centralized or decentralized scheduling, self-scheduling, capacity planning, or working with a flexible workforce.

Planpoint is designed for this. Each team or department can follow its own scheduling method within one central platform. That way, planning always matches the reality of your organization – without losing clarity or collaboration.
