\n580 employees are already being scheduled efficiently and according to demand using plano, while fully complying with all legal requirements.<\/p>\n
\nThe plano Optimizer<\/a> was a real game-changer here! Instead of 12\u201313 hours per week, scheduling now takes just 3.5 minutes.<\/p>\n
\nWith smart forecasting and self-rostering<\/a>, employees become an active part of the planning process. This sustainably improves work-life balance.<\/p>\n\n
