Planning & Forecasting

Planning & Forecasting

Clarity

Clarity about future capacity utilization, resources and financial development — not just at the end of the month, but while the business is happening.

Companies often operate very successfully, but without true predictability. Orders come in, projects are underway, invoices are issued—but the impact on capacity utilization, staffing, or liquidity only becomes apparent when it's already too late to react. Automation continuously processes existing company data and transforms it into easily understandable key performance indicators (KPIs).Management and departments can identify developments early and make decisions before bottlenecks, downtime, or overload occur.

Capacity and utilization planning

The system analyzes ongoing orders, deadlines, and processing times, and provides early warnings of when teams will be overloaded or underutilized. Managers can then reschedule tasks, prioritize them, or redeploy staff in a timely manner.

Material & Purchasing Planning

Consumption, delivery times, and open orders are combined to provide early visibility into future material needs. The company orders in a timely manner—not too early (storage costs) and not too late (downtime).

Pipeline & Order Development

Inquiries, quotes, and orders are automatically analyzed to show how future workloads are developing. This allows the company to identify growth phases or gaps in orders early on.

Live planning dashboards

Interactive dashboards display the current status of capacities, projects, costs, and orders in one place at all times. Managers no longer need to ask—they can immediately see where action is required.

Scenario comparisons

The system compares different planning scenarios (e.g., additional order, new employees, or delayed delivery). Companies can assess decisions in advance instead of experiencing their consequences later.

Liquidity forecast

Open offers, confirmed orders, recurring costs, and payment terms are consolidated to show future cash flow. Management identifies potential bottlenecks weeks in advance, rather than waiting until the account balance is reached.

Staffing requirements and shift planning

Based on order volume, seasonal patterns, or project pipeline, staffing needs and working hours are automatically prepared. Shift schedules are no longer based on estimates, but on actual capacity utilization.

Benefits that can be felt throughout the entire company

Decisions arise from overview

As future developments become apparent, decisions no longer need to be based solely on experience or intuition, but can draw on more historical data for better decision-making. Leaders anticipate the impacts and act proactively instead of reactively.

Why this helps:

  • clear priorities
  • fewer wrong decisions
  • faster voting
  • Less work pressure, security for management, and a lack of inquiries during periods of high demand.

Work is distributed instead of being overwhelmed.

Order volume, personnel, and materials become visible early on. This results in a company that works in a prepared manner instead of constantly having to replan.

Why this helps:

  • stable occupancy
  • less dependence, less short-term rescheduling of individual employees
  • timely orders
  • improved scheduling reliability
  • smoother processes

More planning happens automatically in the background.

Many planning tasks involve compiling, requesting information, and checking. Automation continuously prepares this information and significantly reduces coordination efforts.

Why this helps:

  • Fewer internal queries
  • fewer Excel lists
  • faster preparation
  • Fewer meetings for voting

Problems become visible before they arise.

Bottlenecks, material shortages, or overloads are identified before they affect operations. The company reacts early instead of under pressure.

Why this helps:

  • less standstill
  • More predictable capacity utilization, fewer express orders
  • more stable projects
