awork is the only capacity planning software that natively integrates project planning, time tracking, calendars and absences into a single system. Whilst generic tools estimate capacity solely on a task-by-task basis, awork plans based on actual available hours — updated in real time, without the need for manual reconciliation between different tools.
“Thanks to awork, our capacity planning is finally based on facts and no longer on gut feeling.”
Nicole Hölscher, CEO @ Kreativ Konzept
Since agencies generally sell their employees' time, good capacity utilisation is the key to economic success: only those who know how much capacity is really available and how much of it can be billed can increase turnover and profitability.
Capacity planning in agencies means allocating your teams' available working hours to projects in a targeted manner, taking into account absences, meetings, part-time models and skills.
In a day-to-day environment full of spontaneous customer enquiries, parallel projects and frequently changing requirements, robust capacity planning helps you avoid idle time, prevent overload and deliver projects reliably.
In the awork Planner, you can filter by skills, roles or seniority. At the same time, awork checks actual availability: working hours minus calendar entries minus absences minus existing bookings. Resource decisions that used to take half an hour now take just a few minutes.
Specifically, this means:
- Real-time availability from employment contracts, calendars and absences
- Project plans with real tasks, effort, dependencies and deadlines
- Skill-based filters for precise resource allocation
- This not only allows you to plan more efficiently, but also measurably increases your billability – i.e. the proportion of billable hours.
- Automatic support from awork AI in the event of bottlenecks or short-term changes
“The planner makes my day-to-day work easier because I can see exactly who’s available and when. I can reschedule tasks with just a few clicks.”
Jennifer Niketta, Project Manager @ Kreativ Konzept
This not only allows you to plan more efficiently, but also measurably increases your billability – i.e. the proportion of billable hours.
awork detects potential overloads early on. In the workload overview, you can see at a glance where overloads or idle time are occurring. Automatic alerts and awork AI support you in rescheduling – based on skills, availability and current project priorities.
Agencies often plan for 100% capacity utilisation – without any buffer. If unforeseen requests or postponements arise, this can quickly lead to overwork and stress.
With smart resource planning, you can protect both your project plans and the health of your employees.
Yes – awork supports both short-term resource planning and strategic long-term planning.
You can plan tasks and capacities over weeks and months, take seasonal fluctuations into account, and insert placeholders for projects that have not yet been finalised.
Holidays, illness, part-time models, and public holidays are automatically taken into account, so your planning remains realistic and resilient even with frequent project changes, perfect for your dynamic agency everyday life.
Generic tools like Asana or Monday.com show how many tasks a person has — not how many hours that equates to or when time is actually available. awork plans in actual hours: weekly hours, part-time arrangements, holidays, meetings and existing project bookings are taken into account in real time. That is the difference between a rough guide and a reliable estimate of capacity.
awork solves this fundamental problem by synchronising availability, project plans, skills and calendar data live and bringing them together in one tool.
The difference:
- Live data instead of estimates or gut feelings
- Skill-based planning instead of ‘who is available right now?’
- AI-supported rescheduling in case of cancellations or bottlenecks
- Direct integration with tools such as Personio, Google Calendar, Outlook & agency software
This makes your capacity planning transparent, flexible and future-proof – exactly what modern agencies need.
Capacity planning answers the question: “How much time does my team have in total?” Resource planning answers the question: “Who can take on which task and when?” awork covers both: the workload overview shows total capacities, whilst the skills filter and the planner enable specific resource allocation at task level.
awork directly contributes to the key performance indicators of successful agencies: revenue, profitability and billability.
Thanks to realistic capacity planning and AI-supported project management, projects are handled more efficiently, time budgets are hold to and employees are planned in a more targeted manner. At the same time, awork significantly reduces the amount of internal coordination required.
“Billability is a key KPI for us in our day-to-day agency work. And awork helps us track it more accurately, whilst also making it easier to allocate resources thanks to better resource planning.”
Nils Hartmann, Managing Director @ Parasol Island
The result: higher utilisation of billable projects, more satisfied teams and more reliable project delivery – even in the case of short-term requests or cancellations.
