Go to the Planmeister website >
Planmeister is the end of endless phone calls, stress and unnecessarily standing machines. Planmeister supports planners and other hard workers in the GWW in completing their planning, optimally using their own equipment, saving costs and reducing their CO2 footprint.
The people behind Planmeister experienced firsthand how much time and stress it can take to complete a planning. They saw the need for a platform or tool that quickly shows where each machine is located and who has a machine available nearby. Building Planmeister took more than a year, but the result is certainly worth it.
The platform is full of features that planners are looking for, such as searching for machines at their location instead of their headquarters. Cranes can also be selected by weight and all attachments can be selected with just a few clicks. For professionals, filters can be used for frequently used gate instructions needed to enter large construction sites, among other things.
We can name even more functions, but ultimately it comes down to knowing who/what, where and when.
