Implement flexible team schedules, without the complexity
Finding common ground for flexible schedules is often a real headache. Between service requirements, individual preferences, and unexpected events, the task quickly becomes time-consuming and a source of tension. OuiCanPlan turns this challenge into a simple formality: our artificial intelligence listens to everyone's needs and proposes balanced solutions that work for the whole team.

As a manager, coordinator, or HR professional, you know that schedule flexibility is a major driver of employee satisfaction and talent retention. But you also know that implementing it can quickly turn your week into an unsolvable puzzle of endless email chains, complex spreadsheets, and tricky trade-offs. How do you reconcile the needs of the business with your employees' legitimate desire for a better work-life balance?
OuiCanPlan was designed to answer this exact question. We replace guesswork and lengthy negotiations with a simple, guided, and fair process. Our technology doesn't just collect availability; it actively searches for the best possible compromise based on all expressed constraints and preferences.
In 3 simple steps
Forget lengthy processes. With OuiCanPlan, organizing complex schedules comes down to three clear actions:
- Describe your goal
- Share a unique link
- Analyze the proposals
A concrete example: coordinating a healthcare department
Imagine you are the coordinator for a department of 12 nurses and healthcare assistants. You need to create the schedule for the upcoming month.
Your goal: "Organize the June shifts for the nursing team, ensuring 24/7 continuity of care."
Your constraints: At least 2 people on the day shift (8 a.m.–8 p.m.). At least 1 person on the night shift (8 p.m.–8 a.m.). Respect weekly hour limits (e.g., 35 hours) and minimum rest periods. Factor in already approved leave and major personal constraints (e.g., Sophie cannot work on Wednesdays).
The process with OuiCanPlan:
- You enter your goal into OuiCanPlan.
- The AI generates questions like: "On which days in June are you absolutely unavailable?", "Rank your shift preferences: day, night, weekend", "Would you be willing to work an extra shift in the first week in exchange for a 3-day weekend later on?".
- You share the link. Your colleagues respond anonymously. They can state their preferences without fear of judgment or creating tension.
- The AI analyzes millions of possible combinations and returns clear proposals:
This provides you with a solid and fair basis for discussion that has already solved most of the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the anonymity of responses truly guaranteed?
Absolutely. As soon as 3 people have responded, individual answers are anonymized. As the organizer, you can see who has participated to track progress, but you will never have access to any individual's specific responses. This guarantee is essential for gathering honest preferences and building trust within the team.
My schedule is very complex. Can the tool handle it?
Yes, that's what OuiCanPlan is designed for. You describe your goal, and our AI generates precise questions to understand your strictest constraints (e.g., "we need a minimum of 2 people on duty at all times") and everyone's preferences. The tool will never propose a solution that violates one of your "hard" rules and will clearly indicate which points still need to be settled if a perfect compromise isn't possible.
Is it easy for my colleagues to use?
That's one of our core principles. Your colleagues receive a single link. They don't need to create an account or download an app. The questionnaire takes about two minutes to complete on a mobile device or computer. We've done everything to make their participation as smooth and quick as possible.
What are the limits of the free plan?
Our "Simple" plan is completely free and allows you to create up to 3 schedules per month for teams of up to 10 participants. It's the ideal solution for trying out our service with a real-world case or for occasional needs in a small team. You get the same computing power as with our paid plans.
What do you do with the scheduling data?
Your data privacy is paramount. The information that you and your team entrust to us is used solely for the purpose of calculating your schedule proposals. It is never sold, shared, or used for advertising purposes. OuiCanPlan is an ad-free service and will remain so.
