What is Capacities?
Capacities is a cloud-based resource planning and management software designed for enterprises. It enables organizations to visualize their resource supply and demand, create capacity models and scenarios, identify constraints and gaps, and optimize resource allocation decisions.
Key features of Capacities include:
- Demand forecasting and modeling based on historical data
- Supply and capacity modeling across locations, departments, skills, etc.
- What-if scenario analysis for risk mitigation
- Optimization engines to suggest optimal resource plans
- Collaboration portals to collect inputs from stakeholders
- Interactive reporting and analytics dashboards
- APIs and integration with other systems like ERP, HRMS
The software is targeted at resource-intensive sectors like professional services, manufacturing, healthcare, etc. Some of the capabilities focus specifically on planning human resources and skills supply/demand across an organization. It can also be used for integrated planning of other resource parameters like inventory, tools, and equipment capacity.
The key benefit of Capacities is enabling data-driven resource planning and decision-making instead of intuition-based subjective estimates. Its optimization and simulation models provide actionable recommendations to business leaders for optimal resource allocation and minimizing wastage/idling of resources.
