Logistics industry

Shifts in stepwith orders and peaks.

In warehousing, transshipment and distribution, staffing requirements change with orders, volumes and time windows. Hawk IVO Plan plans shifts according to requirements, qualifications and rules and incorporates recorded times directly.

Planning task

Requirements change, and the plan has to keep up.

In logistics, volumes fluctuate over the day and over the week. Who works at which loading dock, on which equipment or in which area depends on orders, qualifications and absences.

Hawk IVO Plan maps dynamic requirements, takes qualifications into account when filling shifts and keeps recorded times in the same planning.
