PlantDemand Offers Live Shared Calendar for Sales Scheduling
BY AsphaltPro Staff
PlantDemand, Bay Area, California, gives your team a live, cloud-based, shared calendar to organize sales scheduling and improve visibility of what is coming up at your plant. This allows you to plan material needs with your suppliers, organize your crew shifts, identify potential issues with production and strategize with customers.
PlantDemand reports are available to gather information quickly to create material need and cost forecasts, sales and revenue forecasts, or send out daily dispatches for all of your plants at once. Because PlantDemand is available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, you can check and update your plant schedules while on-the-go.
With the new addition of an API, one can integrate documentation to create custom dashboards with other important company data or software. While there are many options when it comes to integration, a simple approach is to give people the ability to query their data and let them configure it in a way that works best for their goal.
User experience design and user interviews have helped guide improvements from the beginning and continue to be a reason plant people find the upgrades so useful. PlantDemand launched their new redesign in 2021. Based on the user feedback, some of the implemented powerful new features are these.
- A highly optimized order calendar view with search and filtering functionality
- The ability to move and copy orders between plants
- Settings page and user management updates
- Customize required fields when entering an order
- Invite multiple users at once
- Enter detailed plant settings
- Simplified notes.
Also, a pilot demo for paving teams to schedule paving projects is now available on the web version of PlantDemand.
