Everything Included in Zehntech Capacity Planning

Work Item Management

Create and manage structured work assignments directly in Odoo. Each work item is tied to a specific employee, an ISO week period, and an estimated hours value, with auto-generated reference numbers for easy tracking.

Employee Capacity Dashboard

A purpose-built Kanban interface displays each employee as a card showing their planned hours, available hours, and a visual bar chart of utilization for the current week.

Gantt View Integration

Full drag-and-drop scheduling on a Gantt timeline with real-time capacity validation as tasks are moved or resized. Rebalance workloads interactively.

Over-Capacity Alerts

Automatic warning notifications trigger whenever a work assignment would push an employee's planned hours beyond their weekly available capacity.

Browse previous, current, and next week data on a per-employee basis directly from the dashboard - enabling both retrospective reviews and short-term forward planning.

Progress Tracking

Work items move through automatic state transitions - New, In Progress, Done - based on activity and dates. Reduces manual status updates.

Multi-View Analysis

Switch between List, Form, Gantt, Graph, and Pivot views to analyze workload data from multiple angles for different stakeholders.

Advanced Date Filtering

Filter capacity data by custom date ranges or preset periods to narrow the view to exactly the planning horizon you need.

Resource Calendar Sync

Integrates directly with each employee's Resource Calendar as configured in Odoo HR, so available hours reflect actual contracted working time.

Multi-Language Support

Full interface support for English, German, Spanish, French, and Japanese - enabling consistent rollout across international teams.
