Quintiq Supports Individual Rostering with new Release of Quintiq Roster Solution

‘s-Hertogenbosch, April 27, 2009 – The new release of the Quintiq Roster Solution (QRS) allows organizations to take into account personal preferences of its employees, to guarantee a robust roster that fits both individual lifestyles and company objectives.
 
The Quintiq Roster Solution is designed and built as a complete solution that delivers comprehensive human resource planning, especially for organizations that need to create shift plans to optimally cover a specific demand curve. QRS not only supports all kinds of rostering schemes but also grows with every organization and every planning need throughout time.

It offers exclusive capabilities that enable organizations to:

• Promote employee satisfaction: QRS enables planning methods like shift picking, individual rostering and self-rostering, allowing employees to express their preferences concerning work days and shifts. QRS also supports traditional shift planning methods.
• Improve customer satisfaction: Service Level Agreements are met more effectively by giving the planner transparency over which employees can fulfill certain shifts based on skill levels.
• Prevent regulatory violations: Avoid costly infractions of labor laws and collective labor agreements. QRS checks all individual rules and ensures a 100 % fit with the organization’s planning process.
• Increase profitability: Reduce labor costs by limiting overtime and dependence on contracted labor. Lower the cost and effort of scheduling your workforce.
• KPI driven rostering: The system supports the planner in achieving the company goals by making the right decisions in the planning process.

With the addition of the individual rostering capabilities, the Quintiq Roster Solution has become an even more complete solution for the workforce planning challenges of many organizations.
