The right product for your planning

Welcome to forward-looking planning

Our customers swear by capacity planning! It gives you information about your operational capacity utilisation: you get answers as to whether a department is over- or underloaded and whether you need more orders or staff. This gives you greater security, control, and a better night's sleep in the long term.

• More overview of all projects, their time & personnel requirements, and resource consumption

• Always up-to-date: Vanillaplan automatically calculates the manpower requirements per week and project

• The project is moved with one click - and the impact on capacity utilisation is visible

Capable with constant changes

Project or resource view? You decide how you prefer to plan! Either you allocate staff and inventory to the projects - then you work with the project view. Or you can schedule the orders to personnel and inventory - then the resource view is the right choice. You can switch views with just one click - and benefit from the advantages of both.

The various filter functions are a special feature of Vanillaplan: They enable a targeted overview and directly show the free capacities of key personnel, vehicle fleet, project managers, and much more. This allows you to manage and optimize your planning with foresight.

• You can quickly manage your constant changes with drag & drop or cut & paste

• With the red-green diagram of resource consumption, you can keep your personnel planning on track - reducing your risks

• Coloured numbers show you how busy your staff are and whether you have free capacity for a new job

Say goodbye to double bookings

Your employee is on a training course - and the customer calls because nobody turns up. Oops, planned incorrectly... embarrassing!

This will never happen to you again with Vanillaplan - because our absence plan has an appointment collision check. This makes it impossible to schedule a resource for two events at the same time.

• Coloured symbols, e.g. palm tree for holidays or pliers for repairs, make planning intuitive

• Regular absences - such as part-time work - are only scheduled once

• Public holidays or company holidays? Done for your whole team with just a few clicks!

Attachments

Whether construction plans, images or documents - with our attachments you can easily attach PDF, image or Office files to your projects.

• Send attachments from the web app to your employees

• Quick access to attached files even when you're on the road - with our mobile app

Manufacturing & Production

Our production schedules offer a set of practical functions for your production planning. They are particularly suitable for timber construction companies with parts or element production as well as for specialist planners and engineers.

• Quickly and easily allocate orders to workstations (work tables, machines, robots) using drag & drop

• Aligned allocation: orders are scheduled "on the line" for their entire duration without interruption in order to optimise machine utilisation

• Dynamic planning: Automatic adjustment of the order runtime to employee capacity

• 3-shift operation: Scheduling of machines and employees in up to three shifts

• On-time completion: orders that are behind schedule are highlighted in red and optimised with just a few clicks
