Workforce scheduling calculator

What better scheduling is worth to your field workforce.

Four inputs. One number you can defend. Built on the realistic gains documented in TSIA, Aberdeen and Service Council benchmarks — adjust the assumptions if you've measured your own.

The math, in one line Annual recovery = utilization uplift + first-fix improvement + manager time recovered. Software closes 40% of the gap between your current rate and best-in-class, capped at the assumption ceiling — so a 50%-utilized fleet recovers more than a 78%-utilized one. Utilization best-in-class: 80% (TSIA). First-fix best-in-class: 88% (Aberdeen). 60% manager time saving is the median across Service Council case studies for moving from spreadsheets to automated dispatch. No attrition, reschedule waste, or perception-gap claims — those depend on too many factors outside the scheduling layer.
