Guest Post: CrewBrain – The Game Changer in Workforce Planning at AE Rental

For a long time, we relied on our Google Calendar and wondered why we should even consider switching. But CrewBrain has proven that it offers much more than just managing appointments. With clear structures and detailed information for each job, the tool brings order to our team and vehicle fleet.

Tailored Solutions Thanks to API Integration

Thanks to the OpenAPI interface, we have perfectly customized CrewBrain to suit our needs. Our electronic key box is directly integrated and synchronizes each key withdrawal in real time with the corresponding bookings. New bookings can even be created directly at the key box and instantly appear in CrewBrain. Our email reminders for time tracking are another huge convenience, ensuring no important detail is overlooked. With the connection to our trusted Faktura32 system, our existing software landscape remains intact—enhanced by the extensive features of CrewBrain.

Proactive Planning & Mobile App

CrewBrain provides a real-time overview of all ongoing jobs and delivers analytics to help us strategically improve our future planning. For those frequently on the go, the convenient mobile app is a game changer: whether it’s managing vehicle loading or accessing important job details, the app offers maximum flexibility in daily work routines.

Continuous Development & Support

Despite its extensive features, we quickly found our way around thanks to the dedicated support. CrewBrain is continuously evolving, allowing us to discover new ways to make our workflows even more efficient.

CrewBrain Is More Than Just Software

For us, CrewBrain is more than just software – it’s the driving force behind a professional and productive workflow. Anyone looking to take their workforce and resource planning to the next level should definitely give CrewBrain a try.
