When Existing Applications or Manual Planning Don’t Cut It

DecisionBrain delivers tailored Labor Forecasting, Workforce Planning, and Employee Scheduling systems that leverage advanced analytics, machine learning/prediction and mathematical optimization technologies to tackle complex planning and scheduling problems that aren’t well met by existing applications on the market.

Our modular solutions are a fit for organizations with hundreds or thousands of employees and complex operational demands. Whether you’re coordinating geographically dispersed teams, navigating unpredictable work demands, managing a mix of planned and reactive tasks, or balancing last-minute changes, our system supports you in creating plans and schedules that work.

It intelligently considers varying cost structures, skill requirements, material and equipment availability, diverse work windows, fluctuating customer priorities, and critical employee entitlements to create effective plans that balance across various objectives such as efficiency and service level targets.

Users then fine-tune the parameters that drive the plans or schedules, testing out different parameters and comparing scenarios to understand the tradeoffs and impacts of different approaches both visually and through KPIs.

Ideal for organizations with workforces of at least 300 and unique or complex requirements, like:

• Work locations and staff are geographically distributed
• Work demand varies and may be difficult to predict
• Work may be a mix of seasonal, regular recurring (eg maintenance) and reactive jobs
• Workload smoothing or balancing requirements
• Last-minute situations require real-time adjustments
• Different cost structures, skills, material and/or equipment availability must be considered
• Allowable work windows or other regulatory requirements or rules to consider
• Customer priorities and service level agreements vary
