## What it does.

Plannable hours and skills sit on each person, so finding somebody who knows the client’s system stops being a question asked in chat. An allocation is proposed by one person and confirmed by another, and utilisation and free hours come from the plan itself. Planning somebody past their capacity gets flagged, and every Monday project managers see which projects start soon with nobody on them. Projects planned in Project Intake & Portfolio arrive here ready to staff.

-   PROFILES Plannable hours per person, and the skills they bring
-   ALLOCATIONS Proposed by one person, confirmed by another, never assumed
-   AVAILABILITY Utilisation and free hours, worked out from the plan itself
-   GAPS Where a project is short of people, before its start date
-   SKILLS What people can do, so staffing stops being a question asked in chat

## How it connects.

Every app here installs on its own and works on its own. Adding a companion is what makes both do more.

-   Project Intake & Portfolio A planned project becomes something to staff, and a staffed one can start
-   PTO & Leave Approved leave takes somebody out of the plan by itself

### Uses your company core

Every workspace already has these. Nothing to install, nothing to connect.

### People

### Project Intake & Portfolio

Operations

Operations leads with more project proposals than people to run them: score each one against its cost before the meeting, so the committee argues over numbers.

### Warehouse

Operations

The stock list has outgrown its spreadsheet. Scan what arrives against what was ordered, see what is running low before it runs out, and pick customer orders bin by bin.
