Time tracking & HR

AIDA Integration
with Linetrack

AIDA (AIDA ORGA) automatically feeds staff absences such as vacation, sick leave and parental leave into Linetrack's capacity planning - optionally logged actual hours too. The connection runs as a live sync and is already built.

Linetrack project management software with an AIDA connection for staff absences and actual hours

In short

An AIDA integration automatically feeds staff absences such as vacation, sick leave and parental leave from AIDA (AIDA ORGA) into Linetrack's capacity planning, optionally logged actual hours too. The connection runs as a live sync and is already built. Of Linetrack customers with such a live connection, every single one imports staff absences from time tracking or HR.

Data exchange

What is exchanged between AIDA and Linetrack

AIDA (AIDA ORGA) is one of the time-tracking and HR connections running in live use with Linetrack today. At Schnaithmann Maschinenbau staff absences flow from time tracking straight into the capacity planning.

Data exchanged: Staff absences such as vacation, sick leave and parental leave, optionally logged actual hours.
Type of connection: Live sync, already built.

Challenge

Why capacity planning is wrong without an AIDA connection

Vacation, sick leave, parental leave and part-time models are managed in AIDA, not in the project system. Without a connection, project managers plan against capacity that does not exist on that day - the overload only becomes visible once dates are already at risk.

Reliable scheduling and capacity planningtherefore only works with the real availability that AIDA feeds into the plan.

The same principle applies to master data from the ERP system - see the ERP integrationpage for details.

If the optional actual-hours import is used as well, it automatically produces a planned-vs-actual comparisonwithout double-entering hours.

AIDA integration in Linetrack: connected scheduling and capacity planning

Effect on planning

Real availability instead of assumptions

Capacity planning that does not know about vacation, sick leave and parental leave is planning against capacity that does not exist. That is exactly why the absence import from AIDA is usually the first interface Linetrack customers commission.

The imported availability feeds straight into department capacity, minus vacation, sick leave and ongoing projects.

Which data does Linetrack exchange with AIDA?

Linetrack syncs staff absences such as vacation, sick leave and parental leave with AIDA (AIDA ORGA), optionally logged actual hours too. The connection runs as a live sync and is already built.

Does the AIDA connection require separate interface development?

No. AIDA needs no separate interface development - the connection is already coded and in live use. Effort only arises where your data differs from what has been implemented so far.

Why do almost all customers with a live connection import staff absences first?

Because capacity planning does not work without real availability. Of the Linetrack customers who had a live connection running within their first six months after go-live, every one of them imports staff absences - AIDA among the systems used for it.

Can actual hours be transferred through AIDA as well?

Yes, on request. Of Linetrack customers with a live connection, 50% also import actual hours and compare them automatically against planned hours instead of entering them twice.
