MaintainX's resource planning features provide advanced planning and scheduling capabilities. Use them to optimize your team’s capacity, balance workloads, and get real-time labor insights for each team member.

Resource planning can help you:

• Make faster planning decisions.
• Identify bottlenecks and reduce unexpected overtime.
• Know when you need to reprioritize work, improve performance, or hire more people.

The Workload View

The Workload view shows each team member's schedule on the same screen. It complements the Calendar view (see View and Filter Work Orders) by showing you:

• Which work orders are assigned to which team members.
• When work is scheduled to begin and when it's due.
• Your team's current workload and available capacity.

You can schedule work and assign it to team members directly in the Workload view by dragging and dropping work orders into team member calendars.

To learn how to use the Workload view, see Schedule Work in the Workload View.

AI-Powered Smart Time Estimates

AI-powered smart time estimates use data from past work orders to automatically estimate how long it should take to complete a new work order.

Using smart time estimates can help you:

• Understand how long it takes to complete work.
• Maximize your maintenance team's capacity: avoid unplanned overtime and downtime.
• Generate better inputs for the Workload view, so you can plan work effectively.
