Fluctuations in demand are normal: The staff planning software from GFOS helps you to react more quickly to changing requirements and to adapt your planning flexibly.
International use
Do you work internationally? No problem! You can use GFOS solutions in 18 languages and thus digitize all locations.
With GFOS staff planning software, you can intelligently merge requirements and planning so that hardly any manual adjustments are required: Have the required staffing of all planning units on all working days determined and planned with an automatic proposal in no time at all.
These and other factors are taken into account by our system:
Those responsible for planning can assign priorities or exclusion criteria and automatically change planned data manually - all desired changes in the set of rules are then taken into account in subsequent planning.
Take the next step in optimizing your employee scheduling: Use key figures such as order data, unit numbers, sales, customer frequencies, patient volumes, till transactions, call numbers and more to forecast your target requirements. The daily comparison with actual hours worked, historical data, trends and special incidents enables precise forecasting for your employee scheduling. By taking into account various key figures as well as all industry and company-specific demand drivers, the software for human resource staffing for a wide range of industries can be used to map any period of time with precise determination of requirements. With the various visualization options and many customization options, you always maintain an overview when displaying all data.
In all processes, you determine how your data is handled in with the employee scheduling software - because the decision on the use of data from past and future periods lies with those responsible for planning.
For easy management of the desired working times, employees' availabilities, working days and days off can be collected centrally in the planning book - the system then draws attention to any planning conflicts during manual planning and takes the entries in the planning book into account in the automatic planning proposal. Employees also have the option of actively participating in employee scheduling: individual working times and their own requests can be freely entered and maintained.
The clever employee scheduling software from GFOS also offers a paperless provision of the duty roster with an additional duty exchange platform: Skilled employees can simply offer their services for swap and once the swap has been confirmed (also approved by superiors if desired), the change is automatically posted in the software. Qualifications and legal regulations are automatically taken into account.
Another option for additional flexibility and employee involvement in the planning process is the option for employees to plan their own shifts in the desired duty roster.
The employee scheduling software ideally combines time, costs and skills and allows you to create flexible duty or shift schedules that can be quickly adapted to the current situation.
Always keep track of attendances, absences and overtime: By connecting to the GFOS workforce management ecosystem, the availability of all employees can be checked at any time. This allows those in charge of planning to react immediately to last-minute changes and send availability requests to employees in the form of a shift doodle, which can be accepted or rejected depending on the availability, even on mobile devices. The time required to fill open shifts is thus reduced to a minimum, as time-consuming inquiries and phone calls are no longer necessary.
GFOS offers a standardized solution for optimal employee scheduling in production, with which highly flexible and automatic duty and shift schedules can be created. The software takes into account the order situation, individual working time models and production-relevant factors such as qualifications and capacities. Bottlenecks are avoided by automatically allocating personnel assignments to orders, workstations and cost centers. The planned shift and duty schedules are available in shopfloor management for realistic and effective simulation and planning. This allows you to optimize your processes and use the cross-functional database to link qualification-related and needs-based employee scheduling with the requirements from your production. The solution also integrates the performance-based pay and pay bonus calculator, enables production-related analyses in connection with the Manufacturing Execution System and at the same time takes into account the specified working time regulations. The modular approach of the GFOS software world helps to link production, personnel and time management as well as safety requirements.
