Visual Planning
About Visual Planning
Visual Planning is resource management and scheduling platform that helps companies manage their assets and day-to-day operations. The functionalities of the cloud-based software include human resource management, construction scheduling, project management, fleet management, field service scheduling, CRM and more.
Visual Planning allows users to manage projects, workloads, and budgets, allocate resources, and update graphs and reports in real time. The drag and drop feature makes it easy for users to update, manage and create their schedules.
Visual Planning displays real-time workloads and calculated metrics to measure budget vs cost, capacity vs demand, and planned vs actual results. This allows managers to anticipate overheads and bottlenecks and make informed decisions to solve problems before they actually occur.
In order to facilitate resource planning on the go, Visual Planning provides functionality for mobile devices to access the solution and manage activities remotely. It supports integration with multiple databases such as MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle, as well as data formats such as CSV files and spreadsheets.
Key benefits of Visual Planning
• A customizable scheduling solution that adapts to the customer’s requirements, processes and workflows, and can be accessed from any device.
• The user interface is based entirely on drag-and-drop interactions, colors and icons so users can easily understand the information and manage schedules.
• Provides a filtered list of options based on several criteria such as availability, skills, location, overtime, certifications, etc.
• Visual Planning can help businesses increase team productivity and share information in real time, plan all jobs, projects, and business tasks, and track capacity, cost and time.
• Allows the user to easily send information within teams via the automated SMS and email notifications, RSS feeds and more.

In summary, Visual Planning software is a powerful tool for project and resource management that offers a high degree of customization and a comprehensive set of features. I definitely recommend using thi app to business owners and employees who need a platform to manage/keep track of their time and projects efficiently.

This capability can be improved to some extent in the platform.

Reviewed on 2023/07/06
Pros
The things I like most about Visual Planning is the specifically tailored use interface to our business model and needs - it provides a platform that fits our unique resource management and scheduling needs.
Cons
Visual planning is a smart tool that has a ton of functionality, but is almost too feature-rich. It is not very user-friendly, takes time to learn and customize to become fully self-sufficient and to fully optimize the software and workflows. It could use some digital design improvements to make it look and feel more comfortable and not so clunky.

Pros
What I like most is its diverse capabilities from scheduling appointments through a unique dashboard with activity tracking, automated scheduling, and approval workflow processes.
Cons
The most notable con is visual planning does not integrate well with 3rd party tools. in the future, it would be nice for businesses who use visual planning to have a voice in terms of speaking on what tools they recommend to integrate with Visual Planning.

Enjoy creating and configuring the software and continuously improving existing systems.
Reviewed on 2023/05/30
Pros
The ability to configure and leverage items inside the software and then add visual aids to specific items as they are configured. There are so many options to bend and leverage where it creates a new learning experience every day. This is the best for my role as systems become boring when learning stops.
Cons
Mostly, the ability to make a major change to the base configuration of Dimensions such as placing statuses all within a dimension or creating multiple Dimensions. This is just one example but not a major issue. My biggest issue is the ability to kick off individual users when they have not logged out. I have a global platform and sometimes licenses used in Europe and India are taken when the licenses are needed in the USA. I have to kick off all users in order to free up those licenses.
