Introduction: A Design Agency's Challenge

Imagine a dynamic design agency, steeped in creativity, always brimming with unique and exciting design requests. This agency's ingenuity, however, was clouded by a complex daily planning predicament. A deluge of design requests flooded in daily, with each one requiring careful attention and allocation. The agency was encumbered by the confines of an Excel sheet, manually capturing these requests and meticulously calculating available employee hours for task allocation.

The Problem: A Tangled Web of Manual Planning

The problem was multifaceted, beginning with the sheer volume of incoming design requests. With each request, the agency found themselves wading through the labyrinthine complexities of Excel sheets. This entailed predicting how much time each employee had available, allocating tasks accordingly, and then readjusting the calculated available time post-allocation.

The intricacies of this process bore a significant burden of time. Approximately one hour each day was dedicated to merely planning and organizing tasks, a critical hour that could have otherwise been invested in actual design creation.

The agency needed a robust solution, one that would streamline their planning process and give them back their much-needed creative time.
