Three people on site, and the windows are not there.

Coming up: the planning that knows what has to be ready first
Today

Tuesday, installation. The crew leaves at seven.

More explanation

On site it turns out the frames are still at the supplier, and the opening has not been plastered.

The impact

A lost crew day, and the rest of the week shifts.

More explanation

Three fitters with no work, a wasted trip, a replanning and a customer who has to wait again.

Your planning knows what has to be ready first.
The solution

Your planning knows what has to be ready first.

More explanation

The steps of the file are linked: materials and deposit before production, production before installation.

Before production starts, you see what is still missing.
How it works

Before production starts, you see what is still missing.

More explanation

Each step shows which item has not come in yet, so nothing falls through the cracks.

You see it before the van leaves.
The result

You see it before the van leaves.

More explanation

What is stuck in a file, you see straight away. An installation that cannot go ahead is noticed at the office, not on site.

Less risk of wasted trips. You see it at the office, not on site.

Do you recognise this in your planning?

Yes, definitelyA littleNot for us

In short

The problem
Your crew only finds out on site that a delivery has not come in. That costs a full crew day.
The solution
The file planning knows the dependencies between the steps. At each step you see what is still missing, and which file is stuck.
Features used
File planning with dependencies, missing information per step.
Who it is for
Window and door companies with their own installation crews.
In the demo
A file stuck on a delivery, seen from the office.
Background to this storyWhat manufacturers and installers of windows and doors tell us, and what you see of it in the demo.
"We send three people to the site and the windows have not even been delivered."
