Propeller has launched new technology for allocating and bulk-scheduling thousands of maintenance, repair and servicing visits in seconds.
The intelligent scheduling solution can generate thousands of appointments up to three months in advance while optimising engineers’ efficiency. The technology can also be configured for complex jobs requiring multiple trades on different days.
This ‘global optimisation’ approach allows multiple workflows to be managed simultaneously by a powerful algorithm. Compared with conventional scheduling methods, Propeller said that global optimisation can reduce operational costs by up to 40 per cent.
Dave Carr, managing director, Propeller, said, “What sets our new technology apart is its ability to intelligently schedule compliance servicing programmes, responsive repairs and planned maintenance, automating as much of the process as possible.
“By optimising job allocations across an entire workforce, rather than individually, the system maximises productivity.”
