What makes SEAK® unique?

Our automatic plan proposal

Unsere automatische Zeitabrechnung

Our automatic time accounting

The comprehensive calculation of working hours and the seak-specific possibilities of comparison with deployment planning are unsurpassed and support the HR department considerably.

All stored trade-specific, statutory, collectively agreed, company and contractual working time regulations are taken into account.

Our annual simulation

It forecasts turnover, personnel costs and personnel requirements for a complete year.

This uniquely supports the control in sales in the implementation of their targets.

The special feature here is the dynamic distribution of hours on the different strong and weak days, taking into account the annual target hourly performance.

Our support for managers

We support leaders with our experience and through our unparalleled analyses in answering the following questions:

How do we implement the specific targets?
How well are the plan targets being met?
How do the employees on the floor react when the frequency deviates from the plan?

“Everything runs largely without the need for paperwork now and is very transparent for all parties involved.”

Franz Sipl, Managing Director at Bäckerei Sipl

“We have been working with SEAK for over 15 years now. Back then we started with 300 employees, today we have 600. For this reason alone, we are glad to have chosen a scalable solution that reliably grows with our company.

We use the entire range of SEAK solutions for our staff scheduling, from strategic annual plans to short-term weekly schedules. We also really appreciate SEAK’s mobile solutions, as they simplify our planning process and also make it faster and more transparent.”

Carolyn Sipl, Bäckerei Sipl GmbH

” Our consultations have improved noticeably because the planners have a much clearer, more realistic guideline than before. Especially in our fashion departments, I can’t imagine any other solution anymore.”

Florian Hubmann, Managing Director at Hubmann

“Thanks to the SEAK system, we were able to reduce overtime by 80 per cent – and that already in the first year and with an unchanged number of employees”

Rüdiger Günl, Managing Director at Intersport GÜ Sport

“SEAK software enables smarter, faster and more efficient processes and operations. None of the branch managers use paper and pencil for scheduling any more, only the SEAK system.”

“SEAK software is unrivalled for companies in our field and has become indispensable for our company.”

Michael Erdmann, CLINTON Großhandels-GmbH - CAMP DAVID & SOCCX

„The trust of our employees has grown noticeably. They feel taken seriously because they can easily bring in their own wishes as well as manage and settle some concerns themselves.“

Daniel Wessel, HR manager at L&T
