Scheduling software for staffing agencies Plan hundreds of shifts
in minutes, not hours

The planning board shows in a single screen where your shortages are, who is available and qualified, and which shifts are still open. Colour codes tell the story — all you have to do is decide.

Step by step

How the process runs in Planning & Cockpit

1

Request comes in

A client order with quantities and roles per day.

2

The board shows

Per day you see who is deployable — blocks and existing shifts taken into account.

3

You plan

Click or drag flex workers onto shifts. Fill counters and colours update live.

4

Copy the week

Next week much the same? Copy the week to the next, empty week in one click.

5

Everyone knows

Flex workers get a push notification and see their schedule in the app; you plan transport right alongside it.

The planning board

One screen that tells you your whole week

The week overview shows occupancy in colour per client and per day: green is covered, amber is partly filled, red is a shortage that needs attention today. Filter by client, location or role and see only what is relevant. Click a shortage and you see who is available that day, with whoever worked for this client before, lives nearby and has the experience at the top.

  • Fill counters per shift (6/8 filled) with over-capacity signalling
  • Filters by client, location, role and status
  • Click through from a colour cell to the exact open shift
  • Every card shows the role as a short code in its own colour: see at a glance who does what
  • Compact cards per flex worker, so a full day fits on one screen
  • Plan from your phone: the board and the day overview adapt to a small screen

Smart planning

The planner that thinks along — and stands guard

SimpleFlex knows your people and your locations. Blocks, fill counters and distances are factored in automatically, so mistakes stand out before they end up in the schedule.

  • Blocklist per client: prevents you from scheduling someone who may not work there
  • A warning when a contract or ID document is missing
  • Fill counters with signalling on over-capacity
  • Distance housing ↔ work location as a planning signal
  • Removing a day that already has hours? You are asked to confirm first

Copy a week in seconds

Most weeks look alike. Copy a complete week schedule to the next week in one click: SimpleFlex first checks that the target week is still empty, then copies every placement. After that you only update the changes.

  • Copy a week after a check of the target week
  • Opens on the current week, so you don't end up working in the wrong one
  • Compact week picker with a today button in every module
  • Per-day board for the operational start of the day
