Absence management challenges

Before Rohde & Schwarz implemented Absence Management, they faced a challenge: effective and efficient management of absence times. They utilized Microsoft Project for resource management, but tracking and planning absence times, such as vacation, required substantial manual effort. Employees had to make their absence requests separately and wait for these to be confirmed in the system, leading to potential delays and errors in resource planning.

Efficient Outlook Absence Management

With the implementation of Allocatus’s Absence Management, the situation at Rohde & Schwarz has dramatically improved. Now, employees simply create an appointment or all-day event in Outlook and designate it as absence time. This automatically triggers a request and blocks the corresponding time in the project management system. Once the leave request is approved in SAP, the status is updated in both Microsoft Project and Microsoft Outlook. Through this seamless integration, the company has streamlined its processes and significantly reduced the effort required to manage absence times. With this efficient solution, Rohde & Schwarz can ensure its resources are always optimally utilized and that the company meets its high standards in terms of product delivery and service.
