Fiona Hurst

Learning & Development Supervisor

Visual Planning has significantly streamlined our previously complex array of spreadsheets. It has brought clarity and efficiency to resource availability, scheduling, and seminar tracking by enabling real-time updates and improved visibility across teams.

The drag-and-drop functionality reduces the need for excessive clicking, saving valuable time in day-to-day operations. Additionally, the ability to create and customise views ensures that only the most relevant information is displayed—making it easier for teams to focus on the information that matters.

Overall, Visual Planning has helped us work smarter and more efficiently.
