Planning the Vacation Schedules for Geberit Using OnTime

Previously, Geberit had been using Outlook for planning and scheduling within its sales teams, which are on average 10-40 people per team. However, Outlook showed to be inadequate in many areas. Therefore, Geberit decided to implement OnTime Group Calendar which meets many of their needs.

The top requirement for Geberit was vacation planning. Beforehand, Geberit had been using Excel print-outs, but these were often outdated and difficult to overview. In OnTime you can see long periods of time in one calendar view and even filter on specific Time-Off calendar entries such as vacation time, maternity leave and doctor's appointments. This allows users to easily gain an overview, coordinate employees’ vacation time, and take sudden changes into account.

However, there were also many other reasons for choosing OnTime. One of these was that OnTime is more flexible, allowing users to customize the time frame and focus of the calendar view making it much more adaptable to work with. Another essential reason is that OnTime has great scalability, which means that many users can be seen in one calendar view. Besides that, OnTime works both better and faster, leaving users time and energy to focus on their business. And these are just a few of many advantages of OnTime.

Based on the many other features and possibilities offered by OnTime, Geberit is considering extending their use to other areas. Amongst others, they find a lot of potential in the ability to manage production workers by giving team managers the capability to plan and overview their team’s weekly production schedules.
