How Capacity Planning Fits Real Service Trades

Frequently Asked Questions

What does capacity planning show me?

Capacity planning compares available hours to planned work so you can see whether crews are overloaded, underutilized, or at risk of overtime.

How is this different from simple time tracking?

Time tracking shows what happened. Capacity and performance views help you understand what is coming, where labor risk is building, and how teams are performing against expectations.

Which trades benefit most from this?

Landscaping, lawn care, cleaning, and contractor teams benefit most when labor availability, recurring work, and project load need to be balanced across crews.
