Warehouse work rarely follows the plan. Forecasts change, productivity varies and people become unavailable, yet agency and overtime often need to be committed days ahead.
Planners repeatedly rebuild spreadsheets as demand, availability and operating conditions change.
Staffing commitments are made before teams have evaluated the available alternatives.
Work is not always organised in the most productive way, even when deadlines allow flexibility.
Capacity shortfalls become visible after there is little time left to respond.
When workload or availability changes, planners must recalculate labour needs and adjust the rota, often across separate spreadsheets.
Predyktable connects the labour plan with deployment. Start with Labour Decision Intelligence (LDI), then use your scheduling tools or add Intelligent Deployment to keep people and work aligned.
Your WMS provides orders, stock and backlog. Forecasts and planning inputs help establish the work ahead and its deadlines.
Connected labour planning and deployment
Predict the hours needed by task and time period. Compare feasible plans against capacity, cost and service.
Match available, eligible people to shifts and tasks. Review gaps and adjust deployment as the plan changes.
Employee records, contracts, absence, attendance and payroll remain with your existing tools, according to their scope.
LDI can connect to those tools. You only need Intelligent Deployment if you want to manage shifts and task assignments in Predyktable.
