Collaborative Workforce Planning Module

Multiple constraints. Schedules under control.

Integrated with the Sigmia HR and payroll platform, the module connects workforce requirements with availability, skills and business rules.

Constraint-based algorithms produce proposals that managers can review, adjust and approve.

The Challenges

As constraints multiply, every schedule becomes a balancing decision

Workforce planning must account for requirements, absences, availability, qualifications, rest periods and collective agreements.

When this information is scattered, managers spend more time reconstructing the situation.

Without the module

  • Requirements are consolidated manually

  • Availability remains scattered

  • Skills are verified separately

  • Rules are checked after the fact

  • Replacements require several exchanges

With the module

  • Requirements are entered or imported

  • Availability is brought together

  • Qualifications are taken into account

  • Rules structure the proposals

  • Exchanges follow a defined process

Key Features

Six capabilities to produce verifiable schedules

Assignment rules and constraints can be configured according to locations, employee populations and organizational practices.

  • 01

    Workforce requirements

    Enter or import requirements according to periods, activities and relevant units.

  • 02

    Availability and preferences

    Account for submitted availability and the preferences retained in the process.

  • 03

    Skills and qualifications

    Connect assignment requirements with available skills and qualifications.

  • 04

    Rest periods and collective agreements

    Apply rest periods, priorities, collective agreements and configured exceptions.

  • 05

    Algorithmic proposals

    Produce stable, repeatable and verifiable proposals based on configured constraints.

  • 06

    Approval and collaboration

    Adjust and approve schedules. Employees participate according to authorized processes.

See constraints become a workable proposal

See how requirements, availability, skills, absences and rules are brought together.

Then see how managers review proposals, adjust assignments and approve schedules before they are shared with employees.

Constraint-based Planning

Stable rules, not improvised answers

Schedules are based on constraint-based algorithms, not generative AI.

  • Consistent application of rules
  • Verifiable and adjustable proposals
  • Approval retained by your teams

Sigmia AI operates separately to find and structure information.

“Sigmia definitely helps us identify accident trends. It enables us to better target the actions we need to take and the areas where those actions will have the greatest impact.”
“There is so much we can do with Sigmia. The software has enormous potential, and we have only scratched the surface of what it can offer. In reality, the only limit is us.”
    Time, Activities and Workforce Planning Suite

    Connect schedules with events from the field

    A schedule becomes more reliable when it remains connected with absences, availability and actual time worked.

    • 01

      Time, Absence and Leave

      Account for approved absences when preparing schedules.

    • 02

      Time Capture and Scheduling

      Use schedules to compare planned time with actual time.

    • 03

      Core HR

      Base assignments on positions, employee populations and organizational structures.
