Engenion in Practice
Increased Employee Satisfaction and Improved Processes
Engenion enables significant process optimization. If an employee is unavailable, the software suggests a suitable replacement, not only increasing efficiency but also improving employee satisfaction by aligning individuals with projects that best fit their skills.

AI integration allows data from Engenion to be analyzed efficiently, identifying patterns. Optimized staffing allocations and demand forecasts serve as a solid foundation for developing staffing strategies. Thanks to AI-driven resource planning, costs can be reduced by optimizing staffing schedules to avoid overstaffing or under-utilization.
