Gain control over your capacity

With vPlan, you can immediately see how much capacity is available within your organisation. This means you know exactly whether there is room to take on new assignments, projects or work, without overloading your planning.

Gain insight into the available capacity per department, employee, vehicle or machine and make timely adjustments when bottlenecks arise. This way, you not only create a well-organised planning, but above all a planning that remains achievable in practice.

  • Insight into capacity and workload
  • Prevent overload and bottlenecks
  • Real-time overview of teams and projects

Easily integrate with your existing software

vPlan integrates easily with software that many Dutch organisations use every day, such as Exact Online, AFAS and Simplicate. This means projects, orders and hours are automatically synchronised.

ClickUp offers integrations with many international tools, but is less well suited to Dutch business software and operational processes.

  • Integrations with ERP, accounting and CRM
  • Less manual work thanks to automatic synchronization
  • Always up-to-date information in your planning

Control over your entire process, not just tasks

With vPlan, you can set up processes to match the way your organisation works. Plan work, for example, by process step or let teams collaborate across different phases of a project or production process. This gives you insight not only into individual tasks, but into the entire process.

ClickUp focuses primarily on task management and workflows. As a result, there is less visibility across the entire operation when multiple teams, departments and processes come together.

  • Control over the entire process
  • Easily plan by process step or department
  • Greater visibility across teams, projects and processes

Security and data in trusted hands

With vPlan, your data remains securely stored in ISO 27001-certified data centres within the EU. This provides organisations with greater control, predictable compliance, and confidence when operating under strict European privacy regulations.

  • Hosting and processing within the EU
  • Fully GDPR-compliant
  • ISO 27001-certified security

View the same planning from different perspectives

Every employee needs different information. That’s why vPlan allows you to view the same planning in different ways and personalise views. This means you always work from one central planning, but with a view that matches the user’s role.

ClickUp offers many different dashboards and views, but these are less focused on operational planning and collaboration between planning and execution.

  • Always the right overview for every role
  • One planning for both planning and execution
  • Switch faster between teams and activities

More insight into progress and hours

With vPlan, you not only maintain control over your planning, but also over project execution. Easily record hours worked across different activities and gain insight into progress, actual costs and productivity.

ClickUp offers time-tracking features, but provides less extensive support for linking planning, process steps and operational progress.

  • Insight into progress and actual costs
  • Record hours per activity or process step
  • Greater control over execution and invoicing
