DSV chose ORTEC Workforce Scheduling to implement central resource planning. By consolidating all schedules into one system, DSV now has a clear overview of activities and can deploy resources more efficiently, even across different locations.
The implementation of ORTEC Workforce Scheduling was a phased process that took several years. This was because DSV wanted to gradually transition a large number of sites to the new planning system. DSV placed a strong emphasis on change management to involve and convince employees and supervisors of the new system's benefits. The centralization of planning saves time and enables DSV to work more efficiently.
Like any implementation, DSV faced challenges. Thorough preparation and close collaboration with ORTEC were essential to find a solution that perfectly met DSV's specific needs. DSV advises that when changing a planning system in cooperation with an external partner, you should first discuss and detail the design of the new system together. This ensures the contract and final solution are clear for everyone.
