What is plano?
The plano solutions gmbh from Ilmenau specializes in workforce management, combining powerful software solutions with a deep understanding of employees’ needs.
Efficient staff planning today means far more than simply coordinating shifts and hours. It determines employee satisfaction, a company’s ability to respond flexibly, and the cost-effectiveness of processes. Workforce planning is a central element of modern HR strategies for accurately forecasting future staffing needs and managing them optimally.
Since 2006 the company has been developing software that makes HR processes simpler, more transparent, and more sustainable. The plano WFM solution covers all areas of modern staff planning - from time recording and capacity management to shift planning, skills management, reporting, and absence management.
Because every company has its own processes, rules, and challenges, plano WFM can be flexibly adapted to individual needs. The solution is modular, endlessly expandable, and available both as a cloud offering and on-premise. Whether a mid-sized business or an international corporation, the software scales with requirements and provides stability in a dynamic working environment.
Automated schedule proposals, AI-supported forecasts, and clear dashboards make HR managers’ daily work easier. At the same time, employees are actively involved in planning through self-scheduling features that allow them to enter their availability or shift preferences. HR analytics tools enable companies to gain data-driven insights and make personnel decisions more effective and targeted.
The result: less coordination effort, higher satisfaction, and fairer staff deployment.
