Planners and planning advice
Planning Power and Scanning Power to support your team
Planning Power and Scanning Power: capacity and advice
Planhuis offers two complementary services: planners who reinforce your planning capacity (Planning Power) and advice on how to improve your planning process (Scanning Power). Depending on your needs, we deploy one or both.
Support when you are short on planners
Are you unexpectedly short of a planner? For a short or longer period, during peak seasons, or over the weekend? Do you need extra support while implementing a planning software? Or would you like to outsource your annual or quarterly planning? Engage one of our planning experts who will help plan according to your way of working and with the tools you already use.
When do you need Planning Power?
- When one of your planners is unavailable (e.g. due to illness, leave, or departure)
- During particularly busy periods (e.g. summer peak or year-end peak)
- When your regular planners are working on other priorities (e.g. selecting or implementing a new planning tool)
- When you only need a planner at specific moments (e.g. a few times a year or during weekends)
- When you want to outsource your planning (e.g. quarterly or annual planning)
The benefits of Planning Power
By bringing in an external planner, you relieve your team, prevent stress and attrition, and ensure consistent quality in your day-to-day planning. Planning Power experts quickly adopt your way of working, ensuring maximum continuity.
Optimising planning processes
Is your planning process not running smoothly, or are the results below expectations? Are planners, colleagues, scheduled staff or end customers frustrated, or is the planning software you are using not performing as needed? Our experts support you in addressing these challenges.
When do you need Scanning Power?
- Employees, customers, drivers, technicians, healthcare staff, or anyone impacted by the outcome of the planning process is dissatisfied or disengages
- Your planning team is under pressure due to the current inefficient way of working
- Your (costly) planning tool is underperforming or not being used to its full potential
- You are considering investing in a software tool but lack the time or expertise to properly assess vendors or guide implementation
The benefits of Scanning Power
A Scanning Power expert offers a neutral, external perspective on your planning context and gathers insights into your processes, bottlenecks and feedback from all stakeholders. From there, we work together with your team to develop concrete, feasible and sustainable improvements. Through co-creation, we thus achieve an optimal way of planning, bringing calm and greater satisfaction for both planners and those impacted by planning.
Planning Power and Scanning Power reinforce each other
We offer Planning Power and Scanning Power as separate services, but we can also combine them. Our Planning Power experts plan according to your needs, while always keeping a Scanning Power perspective in mind. This means you gain not only additional capacity, but also additional insight and concrete opportunities to improve your planning processes in a structural way, whenever this creates added value for you. If the need for Scanning Power becomes more substantial, or if you require Scanning Power only, we can deploy a dedicated Scanning Power expert.
