TGW Start-up PLANCISE Wins Award in the USA

PLANCISE was announced as the winner of the Smart Warehouse Solution of the Year at the SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards, held for the second time on June 15, 2023, which are part of the US Tech Breakthrough Organization.

(Marchtrenk) PLANCISE is a start-up founded by TGW that develops intelligent software for personnel and shift planning in logistics centers. The material flow is usually well planned and structured. However, this is not always the case for workforce management – even though it is a key factor for efficient operations.

On one hand, there are no powerful tools available that are tailored to the requirements of intralogistics, and on the other hand, many companies are struggling with the effects of labor shortages and must adhere to service level agreements (SLAs). These factors make workforce management particularly complex and require a high degree of flexibility in everyday operations to respond to rapidly changing circumstances.

Results of the Pilot Program as a Decisive Factor

Several customers from various industries have already had excellent experiences with the software during the pilot phase of PLANCISE – this feedback was an important factor in the award decision.

User feedback includes the following points:

• Improvements in meeting SLAs
• Promotion of employee training, leading to positive effects on employee retention
• Easier redistribution of personnel
• Possibility of intelligent short-, medium-, and long-term planning
• Simplified communication around workforce management
• User-friendly, easily understandable dashboards that can be shared within the organization
• Transparent representation of employee availability
• Improved productivity and increased efficiency

Great Confirmation of Innovative Power

These results were one of the main reasons why PLANCISE was selected as the winner in the “Warehousing” category from over 1,400 nominations worldwide. “We are very pleased to receive the award for Smart Warehouse Solution of the Year. It is a great confirmation of the innovative power of our workforce management software,” confirms PLANCISE founder Thomas Mahringer.
