Visual Planner is designed from the ground up to support the multi-week scheduling process.
It provides controls on multi-week schedules that neither project scheduling software, nor scheduling spreadsheets can achieve, since they have never been designed to manage the multi-week scheduling process.
Visual Planner consists of four applications that offer a unique graphical calendar approach, specifically designed to support the multi-week scheduling process from long-term capacity planning to short term scheduling and work execution.
State-of-the-art technical architecture
The Visual Planner app for maintenance scheduling has been embedded in SAP PM and IBM Maximo using the latest technical architecture. This approach allows Visual Planner to have the same look and feel as the host software, which leads to seamless and enthusiastic adoption by the users.
Visual Planner’s architecture provides a single point of truth by ensuring that the host system’s data is accessed and updated directly and instantly using the host’s standard architecture. It ensures the utmost data security, in contrast with interfaced systems, which often have latency and data integrity issues.
This approach also ensures the lowest cost of ownership, as there are no external systems to install and manage. This means your IT team will already be familiar with Visual Planner’s technology, without requiring additional training on an external system.
- Visual Planner for SAP runs on the SAP Cloud platform and is available for SAP S/4HANA Cloud or on premises, as well as ECC versions.
- Visual Planner for IBM Maximo is available for all versions of Maximo up to the current release.
An award-winning solution
Visual Planner received the first ever Integrated Service Management Library Excellence Award from IBM in 2011.
Today, Visual Planner is used by over 10,000 reliability professionals worldwide, providing outstanding value to organizations in all industrial sectors.
"Visual Planner is a great system
I really like the Visual Planner. It allows you to fully load schedules for the week and then easily see the priorities of individual work orders in a graphical manner. This graphical ability helps you manage the weekly schedule during the daily churn as the week unfolds. Fully loading schedules and monitoring schedule compliance is the key to high crew productivity."
