Problems & Challenges

Many SMEs struggle with staff scheduling because manpower planning is often handled manually and changes too often.

6. Management lacks planning visibility

Business owners may not have a clear view of manpower usage, planned hours, or scheduling efficiency.

5. Project and service planning is disconnected

Teams may plan work separately from actual project deadlines, sales orders, or service tasks.

4. Resource conflicts happen easily

The same employee may be assigned to overlapping shifts, projects, or tasks without early warning.

3. Shift changes are difficult to control

When employees swap shifts or request changes, the latest schedule may not be updated for everyone.

2. Workload is not clearly visible

Managers may not know who is available, who is overloaded, and who still has capacity.

1. Schedules are managed multiple tools

Staff rosters, shift changes, and work assignments may be updated manually, which can easily cause confusion.




Tailored Implementation

Making Odoo Work Better for Your Business

At SL Software Solutions Sdn Bhd, we help your business implement Odoo Planning based on your actual manpower and scheduling workflow.

Understand

We begin by understanding how your team currently manages staff rosters, shifts, roles, work locations, project assignments, leave, workload, approval flow, and resource planning. From there, we identify where your planning process is manual, unclear, or difficult to control.

Recommend

We then recommend the right Odoo setup based on your business needs. This may include planning roles, shift templates, employee schedules, open shifts, recurring shifts, auto-planning, conflict warnings, project planning, time off connection, timesheet comparison, and planning reports.

Configure

Our team helps configure the system, train your users, and support your team after implementation. The goal is to help your business plan manpower more clearly, reduce scheduling mistakes, and improve resource visibility.
