Frequently asked questions
Capacity management sets the limits that scheduling works within. It determines how much technician time is available, for which skills and in which areas. Scheduling & Dispatch then assigns specific jobs to specific people within those limits. In Zinier FSM, both use the same technician and job data, so capacity changes inform how the schedule is managed and updated in real time.
Yes. Capacity can be viewed and planned by region, business unit, skill, or team. That lets enterprise-scale organizations see where they're short of technicians and where they have room, then move jobs or people between groups. Each region can keep its own rules and working patterns while planners get a combined view of the whole operation.
Zinier FSM compares forecast or booked work against available technician hours, broken down by skill and location. Planners can see where demand is likely to exceed capacity and where teams have spare time. That view feeds into scheduling, so work can be spread more evenly, and no group is consistently overloaded.
Capacity management is the work of making sure you have enough technician time, with the right skills, to meet expected demand. It looks weeks or months ahead, while scheduling and dispatch focus on specific jobs on specific days. Good capacity planning helps teams decide when to hire, shift resources between regions, bring in contractors, or adjust service commitments.
