Why embed Employee Shift Scheduling

The fundamentals of PlanningAI

Full control over your planning timeline

Plan ahead. Plan continuously. Plan in real-time. PlanningAI gives you long-term schedules you can trust, keeps them alive as priorities shift, and adapts instantly when the unexpected hits.

Real-time replanning

Rigid schedules usually fall apart when the unexpected hits. Smart recommendations give planners the power to react instantly with minimal disruption.

Compliance as a baseline

Legal and contractual rules are treated as non-negotiable hard constraints, no matter which region you operate in.

Fair by design

Avoid burnouts or unhappy workforces. Balance work hours, take into account preferences, pairing needs and skills so work is spread evenly.

Voices of impact
