01 / History-based scheduling assistance
Skip the blank grid.
Keep the final say.
Click Suggest week to generate an initial draft for your Home Area. Verken looks at each worker’s most recent completed same-weekday assignment in the preceding eight weeks and checks whether it still fits.
Adjust before anything is saved.
Drafts appear as unsaved cards in the weekly grid. Review all suggestions and skipped reasons, edit individual drafts, or discard the batch.
Save only when you decide.
Explicit confirmation revalidates the entire batch. All assignments save together or none do. No existing work is overwritten, and unsaved drafts never appear in Today’s Plan.

This is a history-based algorithm, not AI, demand forecasting or optimized staffing. A missing history or failed check leaves a day empty. No recorded conflict is not proof of attendance. Linked Generic Skill gaps remain visible advisories, not scheduling blockers. Reloading or leaving the planner loses temporary drafts.
02 / Process Skills Matrix
Individual skills.
Collective perspective.
Compare people against operations using clear qualification rings. Open a cell to see the qualified and missing process steps behind the percentage—and manage qualifications where your role allows.
- Worker × Operation comparison
- Area and site coverage based on active process steps
- Search, filters and drill-down detail
- Separate linked Generic Skill gap indicators
Coverage describes recorded capability, not attendance, staffing sufficiency or certification compliance.

03 / Generic Skills matrix
Your skills catalogue.
Your people, in view.
See who holds each generic skill or certificate in a separate worker matrix. Distinguish currently valid, expired, not-yet-valid and unrecorded skills, with optional validity dates.
- A reusable skill catalogue for each site
- Worker holding status and validity detail
- Optional Area, Operation and SubOperation links
- Home-worker visibility for personal skill information
Process qualifications and Generic Skills stay separate. Missing or expired linked Generic Skills are advisory only: they do not remove process qualifications or block assignments. Verken does not certify legal compliance.

See the dependency.
Understand the exposure.
Find process steps with no recorded coverage, a single qualified person or limited depth in the workforce you’re authorized to see. Inspect the evidence, rather than relying on a mysterious risk score.

- Generic Skill concentration and upcoming expirations
- Linked skill gaps separate from qualification depth
- Prioritized findings with explainable detail
A starting point for cross-training, renewals and allocation reviews. Results describe the selected visible pool, not every possible worker at the site.

Risk Detection / This week & next week
What if someone
couldn’t make it?
For planners, near-term analysis connects saved assignments to process skills and recorded conflicts. A two-week heatmap helps identify work with few potential replacements.
Potential backups are process-qualified workers with no recorded assignment or absence overlap for that interval. They are not confirmed available, and each scenario is independent—one person is not promised as cover for multiple jobs. Generic Skill gaps remain separate advisories.

05 / Today's Plan
A clearer view
of the day’s work.
Large operation cards put saved assignments in context. Areas form the rows; operations and their process steps show where people are assigned. Choose Operation Board or Shift Board to suit the conversation.
- Read-only daily and weekly views
- Same-site cross-area assignments in context
- Every role within its permitted scope
- No absence details or private skill records
Previously called Allocation. This is a view of planned work, not a live attendance or availability board.

Give future training a simple home. Planners and Area Owners can plan a topic, date and time for their workers, add a short note, and review upcoming or past records.
Training plans are informational. They don’t automatically award qualifications, certify completion or reserve availability. Any time that needs to be blocked is recorded separately under the normal absence rules.

07 / Employees & workforce outlook
Your people today.
The shape of tomorrow.
Group workers as Permanent, Temporary / Seasonal or Agency. Add optional employment start and end dates for any category, with projected headcount over the next twelve month-ends.
- Category counts and a stacked headcount chart
- Employment dates checked when scheduling
- Saved work retained for review if dates change
- Unclassified records kept visible, never guessed
The outlook is based on recorded dates, not attendance or predicted demand. Workers with no end date continue through the projection. Category itself does not change qualifications or permissions.

Illustrative date-based outlook for 8 workers across two Home Areas. No recorded end date continues through the horizon. Not attendance or predicted demand.
The everyday foundation
Flexible planning.
Consistent rules.
Keep manual control of the week: split a day across tasks, handle overnight shifts, copy work forward and temporarily loan qualified people to another area in the same site. Process qualification, employment and conflict checks carry through each scheduling route.
- Site-local time and Sunday or Monday week starts
- Review flags for ongoing or future work that fails hard rules
- Optional Generic Skill advisories
- Clear Home Area ownership and borrowed-worker boundaries
Grounded in your operation
Your work.
In your own words.
Organization → Site → Area → Operation → optional SubOperation. Use familiar names and add detail only where useful. Site-specific shifts, skill catalogues and scoped roles support the same structure throughout the app.
Interactive mockups illustrate the current app’s capabilities using fictional data. They are not the live product, customer records or proof of production rollout. Contact Verken to confirm hosted availability, onboarding and fit for your operation.
A few things to know
Clarity, from the start.
Does Verken automatically build the schedule?
Suggest week generates an unsaved starting point from recent same-weekday assignment history. Your planner reviews, edits and explicitly confirms the batch before assignments are saved. It is not an AI model or demand optimizer, and it does not fill days without usable history or passing eligibility checks.
Do missing Generic Skills block an assignment?
No. Active process qualifications and the other hard scheduling rules are required. Optional Generic Skill links provide advisory gap visibility; an expired or missing linked skill does not remove a process qualification or prevent scheduling. Your organization remains responsible for its operational and legal requirements.
Does a potential backup mean someone is available?
No. It means a process-qualified worker has no recorded conflict for that individual assignment interval. Working days and attendance are not established by that result. A planner must confirm suitability and availability; separate scenarios may identify the same person.
Does planning training reserve time or award a qualification?
No. Training Plans record the intended topic, people, time and notes. Manage qualifications explicitly, and use the normal absence workflow separately if time must be blocked.
Can we add our own skills and work across sites?
Administrators manage a custom Generic Skill catalogue for each site. Process skills follow your own operations and process steps. Temporary worker loans are supported between areas in the same home site; cross-site assignments are not supported.
Is Verken for smaller teams too?
Yes. We’re building modern workforce intelligence for teams of all sizes, with a practical, affordable approach. Talk to us about your team and pricing. Verken is not a payroll, general HR or ERP system.
