Daily, weekly, monthly and timeline views bring shifts, primary/backup duty, absence and availability into one planning workspace. Search employees and filter by role or department. Company-specific Excel templates support planning and on-call imports, with row validation, time-conflict checks and repeat-import protection.
How it works
Find the employee and choose the planning period.
Create or import shifts and review availability conflicts.

Planning & On Call
Make availability part of the assignment decision.
The everyday problem
A schedule maintained separately from operational work can hide absence, backup duty or a time conflict. Resolving those conflicts after assignment creates avoidable coordination.
How XANDER helps
Use daily, weekly, monthly or timeline views with employees, shifts, availability and on-call priorities. Company-specific Excel exchange checks rows and time conflicts before storing valid assignments.
Who benefits—and how
For the planner: review people and availability in one workspace instead of reconciling a separate list for every shift.
For the team: a more explicit assignment and a recorded change history make it easier to understand who is expected where and when.
For the company: structured planning can reduce avoidable rescheduling and support handovers. A daily headcount alone is not proof of uninterrupted service coverage.
A practical situation
Example: an overnight on-call shift overlaps a new assignment. Review the recorded conflict and primary/backup allocation before confirming the schedule.
How to evaluate the benefit
Measure schedule changes after dispatch, avoidable conflicts and time spent maintaining or re-entering planning spreadsheets.
