FAQ - General

Aplano offers numerous advantages over traditional Excel shift schedules, especially in terms of automation, transparency, and user-friendliness.

While Excel spreadsheets are often error-prone, cluttered, and difficult to coordinate, Aplano enables digital and centralized shift planning in real time. Changes to the schedule are automatically synchronized and instantly visible to everyone – whether in the office or on the go via the app.

Aplano also offers features that Excel simply cannot provide:

• Availability requests and vacation applications directly within the system

• Notifications for changes

• Automatic conflict detection for double bookings

• Mobile access via iOS and Android apps

• GDPR-compliant data storage

Compared to Excel, Aplano saves valuable time, reduces errors, and eases the daily workload of managers.
