Plankern overview

What is Plankern?

Plankern is a workforce management platform for operational teams that brings shift scheduling, time tracking, employee coordination, customer and site management, order management, timesheets, payroll preparation, reporting and exports into one system.

Managers can create and publish shifts, assign employees, manage departments, customers, locations and orders, review recorded working hours and prepare time data for downstream payroll processes. Employees use the mobile app to view assignments, record working time and access relevant operational information.

Plankern is designed for organizations with shift-based, field-based or location-based work, including security services, cleaning, logistics, production, events, care services and field operations. Role-based permissions help organizations control access across administrators, managers and employees.
