Case Study: Socomec streamlines scheduling, speeds data entry and reporting with Visual Planning

Socomec - Customer Case Study

Socomec, an industrial group founded in 1922 with about 3,000 employees, designs secure low-voltage power solutions for industry and services. Facing the need to standardize scheduling across four departments and replace a previous tool, Socomec sought a flexible system that would centralize daily work data and produce event reports for better operational control.

They deployed Visual Planning (network setup with 5 schedule administrators and 29 viewers) in about one month, with consultant-led configuration that mapped the application to their processes. Users became comfortable within a week, gaining faster data entry, PC-wide access to schedules, and consolidated reporting — while acknowledging that creating advanced filters and reports benefits from focused training.
