Forecast from known commitments
Forecasts calculate the effect of your recorded Capacity and workload over time. They show constraints and coverage, with assumptions you can inspect.
The IntraPod product
A connected view of people, work and the decisions between them.
Understand who is qualified, who has Capacity and where the next staffing gap may appear.
How IntraPod works
From staffing question to committed team.
Bring your data together
Add Projects, Resources, Skills, Capacity and existing workload.
Compare the options
Review Recommendations with Skills evidence, match percentages and workload warnings.
Build a Pod
Choose the people you want to propose for the work.
Review and approve
Let authorized reviewers assess the staffing plan.
Commit and follow through
Create Allocations, track changes and learn from the results.
Explainable Recommendations
A shortlist with the reasons attached.
The Recommendation Engine evaluates Project requirements, Skills, Capacity, workload and other authorized staffing evidence. Match percentages, supporting evidence and warnings help you compare the options.
Authorized users can select a different Resource, leave a role unfilled or make a Manual Override. The reason and original Recommendation evidence remain part of the decision history.
Start from the Dashboard
Needs Attention brings staffing gaps, pending Approvals and upcoming commitments into focus. Open the relevant record to understand what needs a decision, or ask Insighter to help explain the picture.
Keep the work in context
Projects bring dates, staffing needs and current assignments together. Resource views connect identity, Skills, Capacity and concurrent Projects.
From recommendation to commitment
A clear place for every decision.
A Pod is the proposed team. Approval is the human review. An Allocation is the staffing commitment.
Step 1 of 4
Compare the candidates
Review match percentages, Skills evidence, Capacity and workload warnings. Choose the Resource that fits the work.
How the decision moves forward
Your judgment leads
An authorized user can choose another candidate or record a Manual Override with a reason.
Step 2 of 4
Propose the staffing team
Bring the selected Resources together in a Pod for the Project's staffing needs.
How the decision moves forward
A proposed team
Review the members and the evidence behind each selection before submitting the plan.
Step 3 of 4
Give the plan a human review
Authorized reviewers assess the proposed staffing and record their decision.
How the decision moves forward
An accountable decision
The review and its history stay connected to the Pod.
Step 4 of 4
Commit the approved staffing
Create the Allocation with the agreed hours and dates, then see its effect on Capacity.
How the decision moves forward
A visible commitment
Track later edits, endings and cancellations in the staffing history.
Capacity & external workload
See the time behind the team.
Distinguish working Capacity from IntraPod Allocations and External Commitments: work already committed in other systems. Account for effective dates and gaps in coverage when considering what remains.
Track concurrent Projects separately from hours. Configure staffing policies for your organization, roles or individual Resources so the recommendation reflects how your team works.
External Commitment changes keep their source and history visible. Missing Capacity is flagged rather than treated as free time.
- Weekly Capacity
- 40 hours
- IntraPod Allocations
- −12 hours
- Work committed elsewhere
- −8 hours
- Remaining Capacity
- 20 hours/week
Illustrative values, not customer data. Actual availability depends on the dates and coverage of your records.
Operational Reporting
Follow the decision.
Understand the outcome.
Review Capacity and utilization, staffing demand and historical patterns. Compare recommended and selected Resources, see Manual Overrides and Approval outcomes, and understand Allocation changes.
Follow the numbers into the Project or Resource behind them. Export Reporting and Forecast views to Excel when the conversation needs to move beyond the application.
The questions behind the report
- Where did staffing demand exceed Capacity?
- When did managers choose a different Resource?
- Which Approvals are still outstanding?
- How have committed hours changed?
Forecasting & What-If Scenarios
Plan ahead with the facts you have.
View three-, six- or twelve-month forecasts, starting with six months. See known demand, remaining Capacity, limiting roles and the earliest shortages in the plan.
Try the next staffing question
“What if new work needs three Network Engineers and two Project Managers?” Set people needed and hours per person per week for each role, then see the Capacity impact and role shortages.
Adjust or remove roles and recalculate. What-If Scenarios leave actual staffing unchanged until your team takes a staffing action.
Meet Insighter
Ask a staffing question.
Get closer to the answer.
A conversational way to understand what is happening across your staffing operation.
Insighter draws on the IntraPod data you are allowed to see, links back to supporting records and makes data freshness and limitations visible. It is read-only: your people make the changes.
Questions you can bring
“Which Projects need staffing attention?”
“Why does this Resource have only 10 hours available?”
“Which roles may become constrained over the next six months?”
“What is waiting for Approval?”
“What changed in our staffing over the last 90 days?”
Integration API
Your project system tracks the work. IntraPod helps determine who should do it.
Bring approved Projects, Resources, Skills, Capacity and external workload from your existing systems through IntraPod's integration API. Choose the data your organization wants to share.
Access is scoped to your organization and the permitted data. Staffing commitments still follow the Recommendation, Pod, Approval and Allocation workflow in IntraPod.
Data connections are reviewed with you for fit and availability. Request a Demo to discuss your systems and the work involved.
