Pre-schedule human resources and book rooms
Shift planning lets you pre-schedule human resources into time slots linked to room resources such as studio or editing rooms. Resources can be scheduled, e.g. for a whole month, without knowing the specific production work. When a room resource is ordered, human resources are synchronised from shift planning, and changes in shifts can be propagated into project orders too. Resource usage is reported either from shifts or from particular project resource orders.
Schedule in advance
Pre-schedule human resource in advance, so they know when to be ready. Fine-tune schedules when there is time to do so.
Simplify daily scheduling
Rosters for daily tasks are taken from the shift schedule. There is no need to manually schedule those again. You can propagate substitutions in shifts to all daily bookings.
Balance resource usages
Use real time statistics on the amount of shifts and working hours to balance the workload among workers.
