WAREHOUSE LABOR & CAPACITY CONTROL ROOM, $99Most warehouse planning is a volume-divided-by-rate spreadsheet, or a retrospective KPI dashboard that tells you what already happened. This tool connects the staffing calculation to the actual decision: which function is short, how much backlog will remain, whether qualified labor can be rebalanced, and whether overtime or temporary labor is the lower-cost feasible recovery, before the shift starts.
Get it: $99Not ready to buy? The free shift capacity calculator runs the single-function version of this arithmetic in your browser, with no signup. Same capacity math, without the multi-function plan, the costed overtime-versus-temps comparison and the attendance stress test.
Converts opening backlog plus forecast into productive hours, required roster, and closing backlog for each function: Receiving, Putaway, Picking, Packing, Replenishment, Returns, or your own.
You get: which function is actually short, not a single plant-wide number.
Adjusts capacity for attendance and indirect time before the roster requirement is calculated.
You get: a roster number that accounts for who actually shows up.
Compares overtime, temporary labor, and controlled deferral by function, honoring a deliberate target closing backlog so only work beyond your planned carryover counts as at risk.
You get: the lower-cost feasible recovery option, ranked, not a guess.
Stress-tests a volume spike and an attendance miss without overwriting your base plan.
You get: what breaks under a shock, before it happens for real.
Imports a CSV of 1 to 24 work functions, exports an editable JSON plan, and auto-saves the latest plan in the browser with confirmation before anything overwrites it.
You get: no re-entry of the same numbers shift after shift.
Generates a plain-English action plan, ranked by labor-hours to clear so functions counting pallets, orders, and cartons compare fairly.
You get: a management-ready report you can print and take into the huddle.
$99 covers use inside one business. Consultants and multi-site operators need a separate license per client business, unless a multi-client license is purchased.
The product is an offline single-file HTML application. No subscription, sign-in, macros, installation, or internet connection is required to run it. Your data stays in the browser unless you export or print it yourself.
It is a self-contained HTML application. Open index.html in a current browser and it runs. No Excel version and no macros are required.
No. The app runs locally. Your backlog, forecast, and roster data leave the browser only when you choose to export or print them yourself.
No. $99 is a one-time purchase for a single-business license. No recurring fee, no sign-in.
Yes. Rename any row and replace its inputs, add or remove rows up to 24 total, or import a CSV of 1 to 24 rows. Six common functions load as the sample.
It plans function-level roster requirements from forecast, backlog, and attendance, and compares overtime, temporary labor, and controlled deferral. It does not build named-employee schedules, validate labor rules, or handle real-time queue monitoring. If you need those, this is not the right tool.
A 30-day usefulness guarantee, as stated on the listing: load your real data, follow the instructions, and if the tool does not produce a usable staffing or backlog decision, request a refund within 30 days. For product questions, reply to your purchase confirmation email.
