Why Excel Is No Longer Enough for Manpower Planning | WePlan x VeeOne Interview

What happens when modern workforce planning software meets deep operational consulting expertise? In this conversation, Lana Jansen, Co-Founder and CEO of WePlan, and Martin Hoffmann, Co-Founder and CEO of VeeOne, talk about one of the biggest issues in airline and rail operations: manpower planning that is still too dependent on spreadsheets, fragmented processes and late decisions. They discuss: why Excel reaches its limits in complex manpower planning where airlines lose efficiency across planning steps why scenario analysis matters before major capacity or fleet decisions what a Planning Process Assessment actually delivers how WePlan and VeeOne combine tool + expertise into a stronger offer why rail operators face many of the same planning challenges Key takeaway: better manpower planning is not only about having a tool. It is about understanding the full process, validating issues with data, and making decisions early enough to improve cost, resilience and execution.
