Engineering ERP · Resource planning
Plan welders, fitters, designers, machines and cranes in one place. See overloads weeks before they hit the shop floor, level the load in a click and know what each extra hour will cost.
Hover or tap a card to flip it. Each layer adds one question the plan has to answer.
Every person, skill, machine and tool as a resource with its own calendar, shift and rate.
Hover or tap to flipLoad plotted week by week, so a clash in week 7 shows up in week 1, not on the day.
Hover or tap to flipEach hour carries a rate, so overtime, hiring and subcontract options come with a price.
Hover or tap to flipRed bars are weeks above 100%. Press the button to move flexible tasks into their float and watch the load settle.
Example welding shop, 8 weeks. You approve every move before it is saved.
⚠ Ravi (TIG welder) booked on A and B in week 4–5
When two project managers book the same person or machine, the clash is flagged and a qualified free person is suggested.
Each person has skills with a level. Hover a cell to see detail. Tasks only go to people with the right skill and a valid certificate.
Planned hours as a share of available hours this week, after maintenance and shifts. Example figures.
Move the sliders to compare demand with capacity. It shows utilisation, the gap in hours and the overtime cost to close it.
A rough estimate. Real plans use each person's shifts, leave and skills.
Nine connected features. Each links to the related part of the Engineering ERP.
See the ERP pages for each industry.
Capacity comes from attendance and HR, and booked hours flow to payroll and job costing, through our API integration work.
With a parallel run beside your current planning sheet, so the team trusts the board from day one.
Resource planning feeds and is fed by every other part of the suite.
Answers for owners, planners and project managers.
It matches the work coming in against the people, skills, machines and tools you have, week by week. You see where you are overloaded, where people are idle and what it costs to close the gap.
Project management plans one project's tasks and dates. Resource planning looks across all projects at once, so two project managers cannot book the same welder or machine for the same days.
It moves tasks that have float, without breaking deadlines, so peaks above 100% are spread into quieter weeks. You approve the moves before anything changes.
Yes. Each person has skills with a level and certificate expiry. Tasks ask for a skill, and only qualified, available people are suggested.
Yes. Machines have shifts, capacity in hours and planned maintenance. Tools and equipment such as cranes can be booked like people.
Yes. Add it as a what-if scenario to see the load it creates, the weeks it overloads and the overtime or hiring cost, then decide.
3D is the resource itself: person, skill and site. 4D adds time, so you see load week by week. 5D adds cost, so every option carries a price. The terms are borrowed from BIM in construction.
Yes. Biometric attendance, leave and shift data feed capacity, and booked hours flow to payroll and job costing.
About 6 weeks, including a parallel run alongside your current planning sheet.
