Demand
Demand and capacity planning
Know whether you have the people for the work ahead, by skill, site and month.
Where it applies
We provide demand and capacity planning as consultancy on its own or alongside the software. It suits any UK organisation whose work depends on having the right people available, from a consultancy planning utilisation to an operator rostering staff across many sites. Talk to us if you need to:
- See shortfalls in people and skills months before they hit
- Plan headcount against the work you expect to win
- Match staffing to forecast volumes
- Test the people impact of a new contract or site
- Compare the cost of hiring, training and contractors
What it covers
Demand
- Draw demand from your projects, contracts, regular services and forecast volumes
- Plan effort against each piece of work, in hours or days
- Track plan, forecast and actual effort side by side
Capacity
- Take capacity from your workforce records, including contracts, working patterns and absence
- Count only people with the right skills, using the skills matrix
- Apply local working calendars and public holidays to each site
Matching demand to capacity
- See shortfalls and surpluses by team, skill, site and month
- Compare scenarios side by side, such as winning a contract, opening a site or losing a team
- Weigh up options, such as hiring, training, contractors or rescheduling
Cost and headcount
