Base Case
New requirements for a contemporary digital planning interface and the desire for additional functions drove the decision to modernize the existing shift scheduling and employee portal based on SP-Expert. The active participation of Vivantes employees and shift planners plays a decisive role in the cooperation with plano. Through their involvement, specific requirements and wishes should be directly taken into account in the design of the shift schedule interface and the employee portal.
Solution
With the migration to the modern plano modules, Vivantes has introduced a user-friendly roster interface, a high-performance interface configuration with monitoring function and a mobile-optimized employee portal (ESS). The important goal of preventing a costly and implementation-intensive change to the database or the shift scheduling program was achieved. With the introduction of myplano (called “VivaPlan” at Vivantes), employees also have the opportunity to view their shifts independently and on the move, apply for vacations, make requests and, in future, also register shift swaps.
Added Value
Vivantes sees a threefold benefit in the development cooperation with plano: greater employee job satisfaction, faster and safer shift planning and more effective and needs-based deployment of employees. The Group is thus pursuing the fulfillment of one of the core components of its Vivantes Strategy 2030: significantly increasing its attractiveness as an employer.

Base Case
Previously, workforce management at the Krefeld and Mönchengladbach theater was done manually using an Excel spreadsheet. This meant that employee scheduling was very time-consuming and prone to errors. In addition, there was no digital interface between the Excel-based planning and the payroll accounting system. In view of these challenges, there was a growing need for a reliable and professional digital solution from a single source that would relieve the planners in particular of their daily work and provide employees with transparent access to their shift schedules.
Solution
With the innovative staff scheduling software from plano WFM, a tailor-made solution was implemented that not only fulfills the legal requirements of the collective agreement for the public sector, but also precisely maps all of the theatre's specific requirements and specifications. By mapping scheduling via calendar information both in the roster and in the mobile shift scheduling app myplano, the plano WFM solution fulfills one of the core objectives for time recording and time management at the Krefeld and Mönchengladbach theater.
Added Value
The implementation of the plano WFM solution has significantly increased the efficiency of the Krefeld and Mönchengladbach theatres' shift scheduling. The digital application now offers planners not only a clear and flexible solution, but also a time-saving one. In addition, the special requirements of the theatre's payroll accounting are automated and digitally integrated, ensuring transparent and seamless time recording. The plano WFM solution is also a real asset for employees. Using the myplano shift scheduling app, they have access to their shift schedules anytime and anywhere and can submit holiday requests while keeping track of their billed hours.

More flexibility and customized shift scheduling for 500 employees

Employee Self-Service Portal ESS, Shift Scheduling App myplano, Service-Line, Reporting
Base Case
After the previous product was not flexible enough to map the requirements, rules and collective agreements of the DRK, the organisation decided to switch to the WFM solution from plano. In particular, the web-based and mobile employee portal was extremely important for the DRK Kreisverband Region Kassel e.V. in order to involve its employees more closely in shift planning and to offer them as much flexibility as possible despite the often stressful shift work system.
Solution
In a 24/7 operation like the emergency services, it is difficult to achieve a good work-life balance with a rigid shift schedule. The plano WFM solution offers employees the flexibility they so urgently need. Not only does the employee self-service portal give them a good overview of their shift schedule, hours or time bonuses, they can also make changes themselves and swap shifts via the swap centre, for example - even when they are on the move.
Added Value
By using the employee self-service portal, the DRK Kreisverband Region Kassel e.V. is utilising the many opportunities to involve its employees in the planning process. And it is well received: The employee self-service portal is popular and has led to significantly greater satisfaction among the workforce.
