Start from the plan, not the timesheet.

The plan and the actuals usually live in different places. Pland connects them. The forecast drives the picture, timesheets validate it. You see the commercial impact of a staffing decision before it happens, not after someone logs it.

Running in a day, not a quarter.

No migration project. No implementation consultant. Configure your grades, bulk upload your team and projects, and start making staffing decisions. Most firms are live in hours.

Staffing

A new project lands. Who's free, and who fits?

Use a placeholder or choose from your available staff, ranked by capacity and filtered by grade. Someone hands in their notice? See every project they're on, the impact, and who can replace them.

Live P&L

You assign them. The margin moves.

Most tools start from the timesheet and work backwards. Pland starts from the plan. Add someone to a project. As you edit the days, the forecast P&L updates: revenue, cost, margin. The commercial impact is right there in the staffing decision.

The piece that connects staffing to the P&L, without replacing your stack.

Deeper than scheduling tools, narrower than full PSA platforms. Pland fills the gap between the two.

Built by a management consultant with 10+ years across specialist boutiques and global consultancies. Built because the picture Pland shows should have already been there.

“We used to lose a day a week chasing availability. Now staffing a new project is about an hour.”Head of Operations, management consultancy

“We were hiring on gut. Now I look at six months of forward utilisation before every decision.”Managing Director, engineering consultancy

“I used to find out about margin slippage at the invoice. Now Pland flags it before we're in trouble.”Managing Partner, specialist advisory
