Question 3

What are the benefits of digital planning compared to Excel?

Accepted Answer

Excel is error-prone and doesn&rsquo;t work in real time. Digital planning with tools like vPlan prevents duplicate work and miscommunication. You always work in the same, up-to-date planning and can easily automate tasks.

Question 4

Why switch from physical (paper) planning to digital planning?

Accepted Answer

Many organisations still work with a physical planning board or paper diary. While this may feel clear and tangible, it comes with major drawbacks: every change must be made manually, the planning isn&rsquo;t accessible everywhere, and collaboration is often difficult. Digital planning solves these issues. With a digital planner, you work in one central system that&rsquo;s accessible from anywhere. Changes are visible in real time, recurring tasks can be automated, and teams can collaborate in the same planning simultaneously. A tool like vPlan goes one step further: in addition to task management and clarity, vPlan also offers capacity planning, integrations with your existing software, and local Dutch-language support. This makes your planning not only more digital, but also smarter, more efficient and scalable for the future.
