Centralised planning tool for local government
To centralise all planning for the different city services the city of Antwerp wanted a custom made planning tool.
Project Details
The challenge
For years all the different city services used their own methods, mainly excel files for planning. The city of Antwerp wanted one system for every planner to use in order to streamline the planning process.
Drag and drop calendar
We created an easy-to-use drag and drop calendar in which the planners can create and assign tasks. With customisable task types and color codes the calendar gives an easy to understand visual overview of the planning for the current period.
Templates for simplicity
To reduce the need for repetitive work we implemented a system of templates and copy-paste functionality for calendars. A template can be made for a user defined period, i.e. a week, a month, 3 months, a year, ... This template can be used as a boiler plate for planning which can be edited as needed. This removes the need for starting a planning from scratch every period. Once a calendar is submitted it can be copy-pasted over to the next period to even further reduce the need for repetitive work that's prone to errors.
