- SynPlan is an AI-based workforce-planning platform for healthcare organisations. It forecasts employee absence, automates shift planning, and lets employees participate in scheduling. The company says the tool can generate a full year of shifts with one action, reduce last-minute rota changes and overtime, and improve schedule transparency. It says development involved municipalities, healthcare organisations and frontline workers.
- SynPlan reports results in Oslo Municipality of 80% less overtime and 66% lower temporary-staff costs, plus 31% more time for leadership work. The page also claims lower sickness absence, improved work environment and care quality. These are presented as company-reported results without a methodology, baseline, time period or independent evaluation in the article.
- The company says it had pilots in major Norwegian municipalities and a collaboration with Mayo Clinic Platform and was ready to scale internationally. It is explicitly seeking investors. A testimonial is attributed to Lill Eva Lyngvold, head of staff planning at Leistad Adult Relief Center in Trondheim.
- Linked to SDGs 3 (Good health and well-being) and 8 (Decent work and economic growth).
