Staff planning with IRIS

Help to plan your team’s work more efficiently with instant visibility of all staff schedules using IRIS Staff Planning.

IRIS Staff Planning has been developed to complement the IRIS Practice Management suite for accountancy practices, but can also be used on its own in any project-based organisation. It helps you to maximise the value of staff time by optimising and accounting for every minute.

Once a job is scheduled, the plan of work is automatically transferred and updates the individual’s bookings screen with the job details and time allocated. IRIS Staff Planning also includes Microsoft Outlook email notification.

Key benefits

  • On-screen view enables quick identification of the correct person for the job
  • Easy to use with simple ‘drag and drop’ job allocation
  • Updates directly into the individual’s bookings screen and practice planner
  • Provides a complete view of the entire practice workload
  • Jobs can be allocated for days, hours or even minutes
  • Budgets can be set against a job and time allocated can be monitored and rolled forward to repeat the work next quarter or year
  • Includes reports and graphical views to help analysis and improve efficiency

To assist in planning, filtering mechanisms can be used and include staff categories, availability and location. This all helps to speed up the process of job allocation.

Efficiency through full integration

Working with the single central IRIS database makes IRIS Staff Planning even more efficient as it eliminates the need to re-keying. This increases productivity and improves accuracy, especially when used in conjunction with IRIS Practice Management as it further complements the workflow and tracking tools.

There are many other integration benefits. For example, use with IRIS Accounts Production will result in automatic notification to the user when an accounts production job is ready for processing.
