At the Shallow Consultancy Company, we are passionate about helping businesses streamline their operations and unlock the full potential of their data. Recently, we delivered TaskMgr — a bespoke workforce planning and job scheduling tool built using Oracle APEX — for a client that was struggling with the limitations of spreadsheets and manual processes.
From Spreadsheets to Smart Scheduling
Our client’s existing approach relied heavily on spreadsheets and manual tracking, which led to inefficiencies, errors, and time-consuming admin work. Recognising the need for a smarter solution, we worked closely with their team to design TaskMgr — a tailored system that replaces those manual processes with a more efficient, accurate, and user-friendly tool.
What TaskMgr Delivers:
✅ Efficient job planning and scheduling – TaskMgr simplifies the creation, assignment, and tracking of jobs, helping managers plan resources effectively and avoid scheduling conflicts.
✅ Centralised data collation – Instead of information being scattered across multiple files, all job and workforce data is stored in one place, making it easier to access, update, and manage.
✅ Business insights and reporting – The system provides meaningful analytics and dashboards that give management greater visibility into workforce utilisation, job progress, and operational trends — enabling data-driven decisions.
✅ Built on Oracle APEX and hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) – TaskMgr combines the power of Oracle APEX with the security, scalability, and performance of OCI, ensuring the solution is future-proof and always available.
Real Results
By moving to TaskMgr, our client has significantly reduced administrative effort, improved planning accuracy, and gained valuable insights that simply weren’t possible before. The system not only saves time but also helps the business operate with greater confidence and clarity.
