Resource Planning

Resource Planning for Painting Companies — Teams, Vehicles, Sites

Excel spreadsheets, phone chaos, double bookings. There is a better way.

2+ hrs Planning effort / day
15 min Planning effort / day

What Happens Without Software

Four problems that occur daily in almost every painting company.

2 Teams, 1 Site
Double-booking because the calendar is not up to date. One of the two teams makes a wasted journey.
Materials Missing
Order forgotten, lead time ignored. The job site grinds to a halt.
Route Not Optimised
Team drives 45 minutes instead of 15 because the route was not planned.
Qualifications Ignored
Driver's licence, language, equipment certification — who is allowed to do what is not checked.

What Resource Planning Involves

Four tasks that need to be handled every day.

01
Assign Employees
Who works where tomorrow? Assemble teams, take qualifications into account.
02
Plan Vehicles and Equipment
Vans, scaffolding, spray equipment — everything must be in the right place at the right time.
03
Order Materials on Time
Monitor lead times, check stock levels, trigger orders.
04
Factor in Leave and Sickness
Spot absences immediately, organise cover, reschedule projects.
