Original Press Release:
Target Skills Presents PlanningPME©, a Fully Customizable and Easy-To-Use Scheduling Management Tool
Chicago, May 16, 2005
French software publisher Target Skills is attuned to the needs of small and large companies alike and is proud to present its new software, PlanningPME©. This multilingual (English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Swedish) scheduling management tool is highly adaptable and, therefore, suitable for use by all types of companies. With PlanningPME©, users can finally eliminate unnecessary paperwork and cumbersome scheduling boards. In addition, modifications will no longer result in endless cross-outs and corrections.
The software enables companies to manage scheduling easily and provides an accurate global view of human and physical resources in real-time in just one click. Target Skills has made a downloadable trial version of PlanningPME© available for free at www.planningpme.com. The website includes several pre-set schedules (by type or by sector) as well as a range of simple, detailed function cards.
The PlanningPME© tool is suitable for a variety of business situations due to the high level of adaptability that has been built into the software. Workdays and shifts may be personalized and additional fields may be added. It is also possible to import existing databases.
With its high performance levels and user-friendliness, PlanningPME© makes it possible for any company to organize and monitor resources (employees, subcontractors, vehicles, machines, facilities, etc.) and business activities (tasks, appointments, customer projects, periods of unavailability) while eliminating the need to enter information more than once.
The tool offers a number of advantages, including a user-friendly graphical interface, a wide range of available functions such as searchable human and physical resource availability (tasks to complete, schedules, appointments, scheduled operations, calculation of hours worked, absences due to yearly vacation, etc.), and the use of filters, which enables users to display only the schedule of a particular customer or project. In addition, the dual schedule/agenda function makes it possible to manage long-term projects as well as one-off events.
The "synchronization" function may be used to generate an HTML version of a given schedule. Regardless of where they are located, employees and partners can monitor and print schedules in real time. The constant updating of scheduling information and a unique "locking" feature that ensures a given user may not make changes to a task while another user is in the process of making changes eliminates double-bookings.
PlanningPME runs under MsAccess and offers compatibility with various Microsoft Windows versions (from Windows 95 to the latest XP SP2). The software is also compatible with Oracle, MySQL, and SQL-Server. PlanningPME can be used with the agenda feature in Outlook and with dynamic tables in Excel. It offers local or remote network solutions subject to personalized feasibility studies by Target Skills.
The multilingual team at Target Skills aims to satisfy the needs of its international clientele by offering practical tips for the use of PlanningPME© and the latest developments to the software. As part of its role as training provider, Target Skills also offers in-company and e-learning solutions.
As part of its export growth strategy, Target Skills is currently seeking new partners for the promotion and distribution of the PlanningPME© software package outside of France.
