Reduce uncertainty, increase utilization and embrace change with automatic, real-time, dynamic scheduling
Still juggling team and project schedules in Excel? AffinityLive updates schedules automatically when estimates or deadlines change.
Your Complete Schedule
While calendars are good for people who can plan their weeks out with certainty, the demands of your many clients in a professional service mean that you can spend more time keeping your calendar up to date than you spend working.
AffinityLive's scheduling view is interactive and visually meaningful, showing you the total amount of work you've got on each day. This way, you can see how busy you are overall, without needing to have dozens of little appointments in a traditional calendar view. Of course, if you do have appointments, AffinityLive imports these into your schedule too - so you can see the complete schedule of your team at a glance!
Embrace Flexibility!
Scheduling & resource planning can be hard work, especially if you're trying to keep track of forecast workloads in a spreadsheet. If a project slips or is bought forward, you've got to spend hours moving things around, only for it to happen again.
AffinityLive's approach to scheduling is unique. All tasks and project plans contribute to build a schedule, whether the work is being done on a billable job or as part of a sales process. The system even imports your Google or Exchange calendar, and automatically adapts as your work does, giving you an effortless, clear picture of the workload of your team.
From Forecast & Schedule to Timesheet
Filling in timesheets - accurately - is a chore most service professionals have to endure. AffinityLive helps by tying together project plans, schedules and forecasts to make it easier for users to turn their schedule into a timesheet with a few adjustments here and there.
Aside from making life easier for staff, AffinityLive provides invaluable, real-time feedback to project and account managers by prompting staff to re-estimate the time they think a task will take to complete. In this way, managers can see forecasts of work going over-budget before they do, and take action to extend budgets, limit scope or otherwise intervene before it is too late to do something about it.
