Our scheduling needs
We needed software that could meet the needs of our business to plan training, consulting and project management. None of those currently on the market are working really well for us. The planning was done on Excel, without satisfaction and with a lot of time and risk of errors. Our interventions and our courses, systematically adapted to a very varied clientele, require a very important flexibility and precise criteria.
Create dashboards through scheduling
PlanningPME is our main activity schedule and hour management software for our stakeholders. Also, it allows us to generate the hourly statistics that are included in our cost accounting and in our dashboards and objectives throughout the year.
