Work planner
As a work planner, you know exactly how to translate complex engineering data into production, but manual Excel and ERP operations make your work time-consuming and error-prone.

‘If I call in sick tomorrow, production grinds to a halt.’
Work planners act as a crucial link between engineering and production, but spend over 75% of their time on repetitive, manual tasks. They have to manually collate engineering data from different systems, convert parts lists to manufacturing parts lists, and constantly switch between different Excel files and ERP systems. These time-consuming data transformation processes are not only tedious, but also prone to errors. Errors in work preparation have a direct impact on production efficiency and quality. Without automated workflows, work planners remain stuck in routine tasks instead of focusing on process optimisation and valuable analysis.
Baseboard automates the repetitive tasks that work planners currently struggle with on a daily basis. The system automatically imports engineering data and transforms it into production-ready parts lists. Intelligent data integration automatically links and validates parts lists. Work planners can focus on intelligently designing work processes, identifying areas for improvement and supervising complex projects instead of endlessly copying and pasting data between systems.
The automation of routine tasks gives work planners time for strategic activities such as process analysis and cost optimisation. The system builds up a template library, allowing future projects to be tackled more quickly. This not only increases job satisfaction, but also ensures more consistent quality and shorter lead times from work planning to production.
