SPS automates much of the tasks and calculations related to staff planning and forecasting in a disciplined database environment which were previously met by using spreadsheet-based solutions, thus delivering confidence and integrity in its solution.

To obtain the manhours to use for the forecasting of actuals, SPS has a seamless interface with the Timesheet Control System (TCS), thus enabling actuals to be accessed and refreshed at any given time. Or, an Import Facility can readily be created to accommodate for other sources of data.
