1. Assign tasks to your team
Assigning tasks to your team members is crucial for executing your plan. With vPlan, you can assign one or more resources to a card, whether it's a team member, machine, or space. This allows you to visually see who is responsible for execution. That's better than searching and filtering in a spreadsheet for your own tasks.
2. Track progress visually
Are you working on a card, stuck, or done? Thanks to the status, you can see the progress of cards at a glance. You can customize the statuses to fit your needs. In vPlan, there's a special overview specifically focused on statuses.
3. Centralise your communication
With vPlan, you can post comments on cards and centralise everything in one place. This makes it easy to refer back to later and ensures that your team is always up to date. Use @mentions to tag team members. Your team members will automatically receive a notification.
4. View your schedule from different perspectives
A spreadsheet is always organized into columns and rows. With vPlan, you can quickly and easily view the same data in different ways. Filter information quickly and decide whether you want to view the schedule on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Focus on data that is important for your process, such as status or team members. In vPlan, you can customize your view with flexible columns and fields.
5. Add files
In addition to communication, you can also attach files to cards. You can easily add files by drag & drop or browsing. From work instructions to photos, make sure your team has all the information they need to get the job done.
6. Easily share with your team
Sharing a spreadsheet with your team isn't very convenient. Especially if you're not doing this online. By the time you print a schedule, it's already 'old news.' With vPlan, each member of your team has their own login. This way, every team member knows exactly what needs to be done and stays up to date.
7. Always and everywhere available
vPlan can be used on different devices and is always available. No one stays in one place all day. Neither does vPlan. Use our app vPlan Go on your mobile or tablet to execute the schedule. You now have the schedule always in your hands (or pocket), handy if you're on the go a lot or on the shop floor.
8. Keep track of additions and changes
The schedule is always flexible and often changes. You like to be 'in control,' which is why you want to know who made which changes. With clear logging on a card in vPlan, you can find everything in one place. This way, you're always instantly informed! Try doing that in your spreadsheet.
9. Receive data for your schedule through integrations with existing software
Filling in your Excel or spreadsheet takes a lot of time. Often data is entered twice, both in your accounting/ERP software and in your schedule. A connection with Excel is not straightforward and difficult to achieve. vPlan provides standard integrations with software packages, allowing tasks, orders, and/or projects to be automatically imported. You always plan with the same information, saving you a lot of time and minimizing the chance of errors.
