Use cases

Turn the company budget into a workforce plan.

Bring demand, headcount, skills and costs into a connected plan. Replace the spreadsheet chase with scenarios that show the people you’ll need, what they’ll cost and when you’ll need to hire.

Talk through your process

See the gap by skill.

Compare upcoming demand with available capacity. Include current allocations so the plan reflects the work people already have.

Practical questions

What to know before you start.

Is workforce planning a separate Flowstate product?

It is an application built in Sail. The data stores, views, agents and permissions are the platform. The planning process and its measures are configured around your business.

Can we compare a hire with moving existing capacity?

Yes, a scenario can compare cost, skills, availability and timing. Keep the assumptions visible and save alternatives separately from the approved plan until an owner decides.
