What does a planning tool do and why do you need one?

An employee calls: “What am I supposed to do today?” A client asks why their project is on hold, while you thought everything was going smoothly. Meanwhile, the planning is running on a colour-coded Excel file that only works as long as ‘John’ keeps it updated. Sound familiar?

Whether you're planning people, projects or machines: a smart planning tool helps you stay organised. No more chaos, but structure and clarity. In this blog, we explain what a planning tool is, the different types available, and how to choose the right one for your organisation.
