Planful Expert Review, Pricing, Alternatives - 2022

Planful connect HR, finance, and operational data together. Businesses can then plan out the workforce that they'll need to meet their goals.

Planful strives to help teams that may be spending too much time in manual processes, suffering from siloed approaches, and stuck to knee-jerk reactions to day-to-day problems. They ease these headaches by enhancing workforce planning with accurate and current data from the business, better aligning HR's forecasts with what's happening, and being planned, at other departments. 

In this sense, Planful works for teams beyond HR as well. For example, as soon as a workforce budget is created, HR data is instantly loaded into the system, saving time for each manager, whether they're in finance, HR, or marketing. Also, once a workforce forecast is done, it can easily be adjusted to match market ups and downs.
