Visual Planning is used by the control and security department of Keolis Bus and Metro transportation network. The tool improved Keolis’ ticket inspectors' fieldwork in their various means of transport.

To manage the teams and optimize their work, Excel spreadsheets were not enough. It was necessary to find new flexible and collaborative scheduling software that perfectly met the company's expectations.

Keolis Rennes draws roadmaps daily for each team, allowing control and visibility of their work. One of the most attractive features of Visual Planning is that it’s a collaborative tool and can be used by about a hundred employees.

Visual Planning reports are also a major asset to having a comprehensive view of Keolis’ resources. They also track their activity at a fine level.

"Visual Planning is a tool that helps us to develop our management and optimize our human resources and material assets."

Anne-Laure MARINIER, Research and Methods Officer at Keolis Rennes

This is a solution that meets Keolis Rennes' needs in terms of collaborative work and resource management. Keolis’ teams can now handle all schedule information in a single tool.

Thanks to Visual Planning, the company has saved time but also increased its productivity, and internal communication by efficiently developing annual schedules and roadmaps. This is a tool that has brought more professionalism to their teams and streamlined their work methods. Finally, Visual Planning adapts perfectly to each company's operation and needs in business-specific constraints and goals.
