“Tomorrow's successful companies cannot be managed with yesterday's tools. Networked, automated solutions are needed to meet the increasing demands of the market and personnel. With shyftsskills, we offer companies the data basis for an intelligent and qualification-based allocation of their talents,” explains Jan-Martin Josten, founder of shyftplan.

Shift planning meets skill management — efficient, flexible and audit-proof

shyftskills ensures that employees are automatically scheduled according to their qualifications. Qualification gaps and training requirements can be identified at an early stage in order to plan continuing education measures in good time. In addition to operational support, shyftskills ensures consistent, audit-proof documentation of all qualifications and training courses. Thanks to real-time tracking and LMS integration, all relevant evidence is available at any time — in particular to meet requirements such as ISO 9001 or IATF 16949.

shyftskills is already being used in practice and combines qualification management and personnel deployment planning — with measurable benefits for production:

“When qualifications are automatically taken into account in personnel deployment planning, shift production gains flexibility and security — bottlenecks are much easier to absorb. This ensures that sufficient qualified personnel are deployed in the right place at the right time,” says Jan Tornow, group manager for housing and rotor manufacturing at Siemens Energy.

shyftsskills — your qualification matrix for intelligent employee development

Especially in times of growing demands for flexibility, documentation requirements and continuous training, shyftsskills offers a scalable approach with which companies can make their personnel deployment planning more efficient and seamlessly integrate it with qualification management.

“The shortage of skilled workers, digitalization and increasing regulatory requirements are forcing the economy to rethink manual and Excel-based processes. Shyftsskills starts right here, automating error-prone processes and promoting targeted development of the workforce — for greater efficiency and resilience,” emphasizes Dr. Farhood Torabian, CEO of shyftplan.

Instead of isolated individual Excel solutions, shyftsskills offers an integrated platform that records qualifications in real time and integrates them into operational planning. This is how qualification management is transformed from an administrative act into a value-adding management task.

shyftskills is now available — for organizations that want to manage their qualification management in a targeted manner and seamlessly integrate it into existing systems. For more information about the solution and how to use it in practice, visit: www.shyftplan.com/shyftsskills.
