Anyone who plans deployments knows the situation: the schedule is set, but changes get communicated by phone or WhatsApp, buried among dozens of other messages. The new mobile deployment planning app closes exactly this gap. What gets planned in the office is instantly visible on the smartphone, for every employee, at any time.
The dashboard as your starting point
When the app opens, the dashboard immediately shows what is coming up this week. Current projects, upcoming absences and new notifications appear at a glance. No scrolling through old emails, no searching group chats. The dispatcher plans in the office via the web app, and the team in the field sees their assignments directly on their phone.
Calendar with daily, weekly and monthly views
The personal calendar is the core of the app. The monthly view shows at a glance which days are booked. The weekly view displays the assigned projects, required tools and equipment, and any notes for each day. The daily view gets really specific: it shows project details, working hours and, most importantly, who you are assigned with. Who is working on which job site becomes transparent for everyone, without having to ask.
Team overview: Who is where today?
Besides your own calendar, the app provides an overview of all employees. The daily view shows at a glance who is deployed where. The search function lets you find a specific colleague and view their bookings directly. For project managers and dispatchers, this saves time because information no longer needs to be gathered by phone.
Create bookings directly from the app
New deployments can be created not only in the office but also directly through the mobile app. A project manager on site can create a new assignment, select the project and time slot, and save it. The booking is immediately visible to everyone. This is especially useful when something changes on site and an additional deployment becomes necessary.
Push notifications for changes
When something changes in your bookings, the app sends a push notification. New assignments, reschedulings or cancellations appear immediately on the lock screen. This replaces the morning email asking whether anything has changed. Everyone has the current status without having to actively check.
What this means in practice
Mobile deployment planning does not change how planning is done, but how the plan reaches people. Dispatchers save themselves the individual calls and emails when things change. Project managers can see capacity distribution on the go. And the team in the field always has the current plan with them. The app is available for iOS and Android.
