Visualising leave and absence in vPlan: this is how it works

Integration with HR packages

vPlan integrates seamlessly with some of the most widely used HR packages such as Loket and Nmbrs, but also with well-known ERP systems such as AFAS and Exact. This integration means you do not need to re-enter leave and absence in vPlan. Everything you enter in your HR system is automatically transferred to vPlan. This prevents double entry and reduces the risk of errors.

Immediate insight into your capacity

One of the biggest advantages of vPlan is the instant insight you get into your future capacity. Whether it concerns planned holidays or unexpected absenteeism, vPlan immediately shows you the impact on your planning. This allows you to quickly anticipate potential bottlenecks and make sure you stay on schedule.

Example: holiday planning

Suppose you have a number of employees who have requested holidays. As soon as these requests are approved in your HR system, you can see this immediately in vPlan. You see exactly how many hours and minutes of capacity are still available, so you can adjust your planning accordingly.

Identify absenteeism bottlenecks

As with leave, sick leave is also visualised directly in vPlan via your HR system. This gives you instant insight into emerging bottlenecks and helps you take quick action. For example, if an employee is sick, you can quickly see which tasks need to be redistributed to ensure deadlines are met.

No more double entries

Thanks to the integration with HR packages, you do not need to enter information twice. Not only does this save time, it also prevents errors that can arise from manual input. You enter the data into your HR system once, and vPlan does the rest.

Conclusion

Visualising leave and absence in vPlan is easy and efficient thanks to its seamless integration with popular HR packages. You get instant insight into your capacity and can respond quickly to potential bottlenecks, without duplicating data entry.
