    Customer Feedback

    “We previously used Excel for workforce scheduling, but its functionality was too limited. Now we use the online solution TPG CoRePlanner. Storing the data centrally saves us a lot of time and effort when preparing evaluations and reports. The quality of these has also improved considerably.“

    Thomas Kemmer, Project Leader Tools & Processes, SSI Schäfer GmbH

    The three tools outlined above can also be used individually if necessary. However, only through the synergy created by using all three together can corporate management gainvaluable insights into how well the staff resources are being utilized. This includes displaying overloads and visualizing the potential for additional projects.
