• Employee-Inventory Assignments: Links employees to specific inventory items they are currently assigned to.
• Roster & Availability: Weekly view of employee shifts, availability, and work schedules for operational planning.
• Dashboards & Reports: Visual summary of key performance indicators (KPIs), inventory utilization rates, employee tenure trends, and asset tracking status.
