Visual Planning is a resource scheduling and workforce management platform built by Stilog I.S.T., a France-based software company founded in 1996. It gives operations managers, project managers, resource planners, and HR teams a centralized way to plan, assign, and forecast people, equipment, and projects using drag-and-drop Gantt charts and Kanban boards. Configurable business rules automate scheduling (VPAutomation), detect overloads and conflicts, and match assignments to employee skills and availability. Real-time dashboards and KPI reporting give visibility into workload and capacity, and an AI Planning Assistant lets users query and interact with scheduling data conversationally. The platform is available via browser and native iOS/Android apps, with geolocation and field-team tracking for mobile crews and shift/rotation management for multi-shift operations. Visual Planning serves organizations across construction, manufacturing, IT & consulting, public sector, field services, logistics, energy, aerospace & defense, and healthcare, with named customers including SNCF, Airbus, UNICEF, Bouygues Construction, and EDF. It connects to existing systems (ERP, HRIS, CMMS, CRM) through a REST/SOAP API rather than replacing them.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Visual Gantt chart and Kanban-based scheduling with drag-and-drop resource assignment
  • Configurable automation (VPAutomation) for conflict/overload detection and skills-based assignment
  • Open REST and SOAP APIs, with the API included in the license at no extra cost and no call limits
  • Broad enterprise integration support (SAP, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics, major CMMS platforms)
  • Native iOS/Android apps plus geolocation for field and mobile teams
  • Long-established vendor (Stilog I.S.T., founded 1996) with large enterprise customers like SNCF and Airbus

Cons

  • No public pricing -- plans require a demo/sales conversation, making cost comparison harder
  • Feature depth and configurability suggest a steeper learning curve than lightweight scheduling tools
  • Marketing content leans heavily on large enterprise/public-sector use cases, so fit for very small teams is unclear
  • SOAP/legacy-system integration emphasis signals a platform oriented toward established enterprise IT environments rather than modern all-cloud stacks only
