AiOn use cases

Capacity Planning & Optimization

Sizing a warehouse workforce still means a forecast, a calculator, and a spreadsheet. With AiOn, a few plain-language prompts turn your forecast and WMS data into a live tool that models and optimizes headcount against demand, day by day, with no code and no engineering.

The impact for you

Precise crewing
Every shift sized to the forecast, not padded to be safe. You know exactly who is needed, when.
Smarter overtime
Cut when it isn't needed and planned precisely when it is, instead of a cost you notice too late.
Lower labor cost
Right-sized crews and voluntary time off turn overstaffed days into thousands saved a year.
In short

AiOn lets you build almost anything your operation needs, with no code. Capacity Planning & Optimization is just one example: an interactive workforce planning app that turns your forecast and WMS data into a live view of headcount against demand, day by day. Whatever your data connects to, if there is a problem worth solving, you can build it and optimize it, one of the many things teams create with AiOn.

The Challenge

Capacity planning still lives in a spreadsheet.

Sizing a warehouse workforce is one of the most consequential decisions in the operation, and one of the most manual. A forecast goes into a spreadsheet, headcount gets worked out by hand, and the model is slow to react when volume shifts. The cost of getting it wrong, overstaffed days and unplanned overtime, usually isn't visible until it has already been spent.

What We Built

A few prompts. A working capacity planner.

Describe the tool you need in plain language and AiOn builds it, sharing progress as it works and refining on your feedback. Point it at your WMS data and it models real average performance per picker against your productivity targets and forecast. No code, no engineering.

What the dashboard does:

The Impact

Right-size the crew. Spend on overtime only when it counts.

With operational data layered into the AI analytics, long-term headcount and daily crewing decisions get sharper. Crews match the forecast day by day. Overtime is eliminated when it isn't needed and planned precisely when it is. And an overstaffed day becomes a chance to offer voluntary time off instead of a cost you simply absorb.

"I can be more precise with daily crewing, eliminating overtime when it isn't needed and managing it precisely when it is, and even offer voluntary time off, to save thousands of dollars a year in wages and benefits."

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about capacity planning with AiOn

What is capacity planning with AiOn?

It is an interactive warehouse capacity planning and optimization dashboard you can build on OneTrack's AiOn platform. It takes your forecast and WMS data and turns them into a live tool that models and optimizes headcount against demand day by day, so instead of a static spreadsheet you get a working planner that reacts as volume shifts.

How is the capacity planning tool built, and does it require code?

You describe the tool you need in plain language and AiOn builds it, sharing progress as it works and refining on your feedback. A few plain-language prompts turn your forecast and WMS data into a live planning tool, built with no code and no engineering.

What can the capacity planning dashboard optimize?

It models headcount against forecasted volume day by day and shows instantly whether current headcount meets your daily target, turning short days red. You can adjust headcount, targets, or scheduled time off and watch the impact update live, and it surfaces exactly where overtime is needed and where capacity is spare.

What is AiOn and do you need engineers to use it?

AiOn is OneTrack's persistent intelligence layer: a single agent you talk to in plain language that connects across your data and builds the dashboards, apps, and automations you need. It is governed and secure, and it needs no code and no engineering, so building something like a capacity planner does not depend on a development team. You describe what you need, point it at your WMS data, and AiOn builds it, refining as you go.
