Labour Forecasting and Planning

PeoplePlan helps predict staffing needs based on incoming shipment volumes, seasonal peaks, and promotional activities to give optimal coverage for receiving, picking, packing, and dispatch operations while controlling labour costs.

Multi-Skill Deployment

PeoplePlan tracks and assigns workers based on their qualifications for different equipment (forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers) and zones (ambient, chilled, frozen), ensuring efficient resource allocation across warehouse operations.

Real-Time Productivity Tracking

Managers can performance against KPIs for picking rates, and throughput. This enables quick intervention when productivity drops and helps identify training needs.

Break Management

PeoplePlan factors in breaks to allow sufficient coverage to maintain continuous operations in critical areas such as high-priority tasks like loading/unloading time-sensitive deliveries.

Agency Staff Integration

During peak periods, PeoplePlan helps request and allocate agency workers, including planning training and allocating to roles.

Attendance and Coverage

Visibility of attendance and understaffing help maintain service levels, particularly crucial in logistics where rapid stock movement is essential for product freshness and meeting retailer demands.
