Workforce Planner
A powerful tool for labour cost and capacity management
Workload-based workforce model
To achieve optimal operational performance, you need the right workforce structure. Workforce Planner gives you a powerful, proven tool for building, managing and implementing your work organisation and management model for each individual location. You can use the results for both long-term capacity management and your weekly planning process.
Working with the results
Workforce Planner provides powerful capabilities that enable you to actively manage the ideal staffing levels for your business. Key features include:
- Budget labour costs, plan capacity and analyse your current workforce.
- Access capacity requirements and labour cost budgets at any time and at any required level.
- See immediately how changes to hours budgets, policies or collective labour agreements affect labour costs and staffing requirements.
- Identify opportunities to optimise your current workforce.
- Track progress using an integrated action plan.
- Integrate the results into your weekly workforce planning process in the workplace.
- Perform fast, meaningful comparisons.
Workload-based
For each location, Workforce Planner calculates the required contract structure and the associated labour costs based on the hours budgets generated by Workload Planner. The tool helps you identify internal and external changes at an early stage and translate them quickly and systematically into the capacity required. In this way, Workforce Planner demonstrably gives you greater control and improves profitability.
How we work together
Together with you, we classify standardised activities by execution level and remuneration. You receive recommendations for contracted hours and labour costs at location or business-unit level. By linking the tool to your current workforce data, either manually or via an API, you can identify opportunities for optimisation. The outcome is tailored to your business and ways of working and is based on a structured approach.
Company structure
Your company structure forms the basis of our setup and results, ensuring that every element works seamlessly together.
Policies
Together with you, we capture and document your work organisation, organisational charts and pay structures. We translate your strategic principles into concrete objectives. By making these principles objective and measurable, results become transparent and future changes can be simulated.
Relevant data
To build support for labour cost targets, Operations, HR and Finance need to be involved in defining the structure. The results must be clear and understandable to users. We configure Workforce Planner using the relevant location characteristics and the terminology you use in day-to-day operations.
Results
You define strategically sound labour cost and capacity targets by location, department, qualification, year or week.
Strategic management
Workforce Planner combines workload with the organisational chart and management model. This gives you a precise understanding of the staffing levels required to translate your business strategy into practice.

Are measurements always required to establish labour standards?
No. In many cases, our database already provides sufficient information. Additional measurements can, of course, be carried out if there is a specific need within your operations.
Can the software be integrated with the systems we already use, such as our WFM solution?
Yes, in many cases. APIs are available for our software, and we already have integrations with numerous WFM solutions across Europe. If you would like to know whether your WFM solution is supported, please get in touch.
