Our clients’ feedback and daily experience push us to build solutions that always improve the starting scenario. PlanningPME users’ experiences are also an excellent resource for learning how to solve common planning challenges.
We have worked with businesses of all sizes, local and international, in industrial production, maintenance, construction, consulting, cleaning, technical assistance and design, as well as more specialised areas such as multimedia and advertising, institutional and religious organisations.
Our solutions are often a combination of PlanningPME and PlanningConnect. They are highly adaptable and simple to use, and customers typically keep them for a long time.
Production planning and installation teams on one schedule, connected to your ERP.
Industrial machinery →
Time and costs stored by client, project and task, so planned and actual work stay comparable.
Consulting →
Staff saturation by department and planned vs completed time against target.
Consulting →
Field execution and updated availability in the same view, with signed work reports back from the team leaders in real time.
Installation & Maintenance →
One shared calendar, with each user seeing only what their role requires.
PlanningPME →
Faster shift communication to operators and service data collected in a single tool.
Cleaning →PlanningPME and PlanningConnect are built for people who make planning decisions: a single calendar view that is simple to read, data views made of clear lists, and analysis tools with advanced indicators. They support choices such as evaluating productivity or adding operational staff based on opportunities and future workload.
PlanningConnect complements PlanningPME and gives a complete view to business roles that do not normally use a planning tool. It links operational staff to planned activities, matching the planning and the measuring of tasks and projects.
We were looking for a planning system that would meet the specific scheduling needs of our external services (cleaning, facility management, libraries) with a large number of staff to coordinate across different clients. The software had to be easy to use, allowing us to manage the service with our coordinators while also speeding up the communication of shifts to the various staff and collecting service execution data in a single tool. By leveraging the planning features of PlanningPME and the time transmission and collection capabilities of PlanningConnect, we have improved management times and overall management capacity.
We required a planning solution that would connect data from our AS400 with installation plans at our clients’ sites and enable technicians to handle field activities more easily. PlanningPME was quickly connected with the ERP software, allowing us to schedule teams immediately. We subsequently added PlanningConnect functionalities, which, together with the App’s features, ensured that we avoided forwarding work orders while receiving signed intervention reports in real time from the team leaders’ schedules.
With PlanningPME, I managed to meet all the primary management and planning needs. Now, with a single screen, I can have a complete overview of the situation of the technicians and shared resources; at a glance, I can identify who is busy and what the first available day is to carry out an activity. In the planning of vacations, overlaps and inconsistencies are immediately highlighted.
PlanningPME is a powerful program that helps us keep track of multiple kinds of tasks performed by our technicians through extensive planning capabilities. We find its complementary tool, PlanningConnect, especially useful both in its base suite form, that we use for analysis and automation purposes, such as scheduling recurring e-mails showing which activities from a specific time frame should be invoiced, and in its app form. The latter, in particular, is well-suited for recording work hours, travel hours and expenses, as well as creating service reports that can be easily shared with the customers.
Our initial requirements were to find a computer-based and shared support system for internal production planning and product installation at the end customer. The requirements were completely met; we began utilising two separate schedules, one for production planning, which allowed us to track the progress of orders at various stages, and the other for installations, which allowed us to manage the work of the various installation teams. We changed our strategy over the years, integrating the two databases into a single view.
The simplicity and flexibility of the planning itself, which for our type of activity is constantly changing, has allowed us to speed up the planning process and make it accessible to more people.
By using PlanningPME, we have developed a company procedure that allows us to always keep track of the work to be done, the work in progress, and the completed work, and to schedule our workforce day by day, week by week, enabling us to coordinate internally. Thanks to its easy and intuitive interface and the ability to quickly and smoothly reschedule times and people, the work – "construction sites" – is always organised and visible to everyone, at any time.
For my work, it is extremely convenient for planning staff commitments in the short, medium, and long term. It is easy to use, but at the same time, it offers the possibility to schedule different types of events and resources. We use it a lot in the office and it is really convenient for sharing events and commitments.
