One visual, five ways to plan

FMCG promotion calendar

Rows per retailer and brand on a 4-4-5 retail calendar. Overlap markers show clashes, last year's promotions appear on the same week of this year, and a separate track shows media campaigns.

Fields: Customer, Brand, Start and End Date, Status. Turn on: fiscal calendar, overlap markers, ghost mode, ATL track.

Project and PMO reporting

Export your Microsoft Project plan as XML and load it with our standard M query script. You get the outline levels as collapsible groups, one row per task, Finish-to-Start arrows and the critical path in red. Next to it, the budget and status from your model.

Fields: Level1, Level2, Task, ID, Predecessors, Start and End (from the M query script). Turn on: Group by Level1 and Level2, Expandable Hierarchy, One Row per Task, Dependencies, Critical path.

Fleet management

Every vehicle on its own row, day by day and hour by hour. Bookings and telematics sit under each other, so you see at a glance when a vehicle was booked and when it actually drove.

Fields: Licence plate, Source (bookings or telematics), Start and End as Date/Time. Turn on: Week zoom with hour buckets, Search.

Production and maintenance planning

Each line grouped by activity: production runs, cleaning, maintenance and inspections under each other on your own period calendar. Colour by status shows what is complete, in progress, at risk or planned, and the Today line shows where you stand.

Fields: Asset or line, Activity type, Item, Start and End, Status. Turn on: Group by L2, Color by Status, fiscal periods, 6 Months zoom, Search.

Portfolio overview

Several years of projects in one view, grouped by priority, with each phase in its own colour and the planned dates as a thin line under each bar, so slipping work stands out. Owner and budget sit next to each project.

Fields: Category 1 (Priority), Category 1 L2 (Project), Task name, Phase, Start and End, Planned Start and End, Row columns (Owner, Budget). Turn on: Group by Priority and Project, Color by Phase, Total zoom, Planned vs Actual, Today line.
