Problem

Workforce planning breaks when headcount, open positions and hiring requests live in disconnected spreadsheets.

HR and business leaders lose visibility on approved headcount, active vacancies and pending hiring requests. Recruitment moves forward without alignment to budget, positions get duplicated across departments, and leadership has no single view of current vs planned workforce — making it impossible to forecast cost or capacity with confidence.

Solution

Manpower Management gives every team a structured view of approved headcount, open positions and hiring demand in one connected system.

Define organizational structure and approved headcount by department, location and role. Raise, approve and track manpower requests through a configurable workflow. Convert approved requests into open positions, link them to recruitment pipelines and watch utilization update in real time — keeping HR, finance and business leaders aligned on what's planned, what's filled and what's pending.

How It Works

Manpower Management capabilities that create structure and control.

The tools inside manpower management are designed to reduce manual effort and give your HR team one reliable place to manage this workflow.

01

Headcount planning

Define approved headcount by department, location, designation and employment type for each planning cycle. Compare planned vs actual headcount in real time as employees are onboarded, transferred or exited.

02

Position management

Maintain a structured catalogue of positions with role, reporting line, location and grade. Track each position's status — vacant, filled, on hold or closed — and prevent duplicate creation across departments.

03

Manpower request workflow

Business leaders raise manpower requests with justification, role details and target join date. Configurable multi-level approval routes the request to HR and finance before it becomes an open vacancy.

04

Vacancy and recruitment hand-off

Approved manpower requests convert into open positions and feed directly into the recruitment workflow — no re-entry of role, location or hiring manager information.

05

Budget and cost visibility

Attach budgeted cost-to-company to each approved headcount slot. Track committed and consumed manpower budget by department and cost center across the planning cycle.

06

Reports and analytics

Live dashboards on filled vs vacant positions, pending manpower requests, hiring demand by department and headcount utilization — exportable for leadership and finance reviews.
