Improve Business Performance by Optimizing
Your Company’s Key Processes.

With PlanningForce, this gain is achieved by more carefully selecting projects from the project portfolio and end dates, which are calculated more reliably thanks to several tools and techniques such as the application of models, simultaneously planning the entire project portfolio along with resources, the prioritization of projects as a function of the different weighting criteria and the "rolling wave planning" technique, which combines detailed, short-term tasks with more long-term tasks, ensuring that the necessary resources will be available into the future.

With PlanningForce, these gains are the result of marketing tactics carried out at the right time as a function of when new products come to market (by applying the backward scheduling technique), as well as thanks to a technique specific to PlanningForce that allows dynamically determining the cost price brought by each new order to the overall project portfolio.

The marketing mix is adjusted to optimize the sales potential and the firm’s production potential. In so doing, the break-even point is more quickly attained and the business decisions are coordinated with production so as to maximize profit margins.

With PlanningForce, this gain is secured by modeling each business deal, not only the production aspect which implies modeling the flow of materials, resources, and internal and external services and so on, but also on the related aspects of delivery and payment. The optimization engine can thereby offer solutions that smooth out cash flows, divide up or, on the other hand, consolidate orders and optimize incoming and outgoing logistics costs.

With PlanningForce, this gain is secured through the natural reduction of lost time, which flows from the rational utilization of the system’s tools and data. The scheduling engine calculates optimized timetables in only a few seconds, decisions have immediate impact throughout the organization’s many levels, reports are automatically generated and reveal gaps or problems, showing their source, reminders are automatically sent to partners, and more.

With PlanningForce, gains with respect to subcontracting and infrastructure costs are generated by negotiating framework agreements which match, with ever-increasing precision, the company’s future needs. Moreover, the optimizations gained at different stages of the value chain (see above) have multiple positive consequences: there are fewer penalties since it is easier to meet deadlines and standards of quality (resulting in fewer lost clients), there is a drop in absenteeism and breakdowns since resources and preventative maintenance are managed better and this, in turn, results in fewer errors, waste and required reworks.
