Experience and methodology

A traceable method for sizing workforces

Turnomix was born as a spin-off of Avonlea Systems, with more than 20 years of experience in workforce management and shift optimization projects across multiple Latin American countries, in sectors such as transportation, retail, and critical services. The optimization engine isn't a theoretical exercise: it's the systematization of a method used in the field for more than two decades.

  5. Step 05CostsReviewable
Turnomix organizes staffing decisions into reviewable steps: coverage demand, contract rules, shift alternatives, headcount, and costs. Each result must be interpreted using the parameters agreed for the operation; it is not a universal answer or a substitute for professional review.

Methodology

Three principles guide how the engine works

Each principle answers a different question: what is modeled, how it is calculated and what is reviewed before using a scenario.

  1. Real demandGeneric assumption

    01 What is modeled

    Real coverage demand

    Real coverage demand is modeled, not generic staffing assumptions.

  2. Combinations evaluatedChosen alternative

    02 How it is calculated

    Mathematical optimization

    Alternatives come from mathematical optimization, not simple heuristic rules.

  3. Working hoursRest periodsSurchargesScenario

    03 What is reviewed

    Reviewed parameters

    Applicable regulatory parameters are reviewed before using a scenario.

Several countries

Labor rules are parameterized country by country

Every country has its own labor legislation: working-hour limits, surcharges, mandatory rest days. Turnomix is designed to parameterize those rules country by country, not to assume every market works the same way.

Demo

In a demo we validate the method with a case from your operation

  1. 01

    We review a representative requirement from your operation

  2. 02

    We show how coverage and cost change across scenarios

  3. 03

    We agree which parameters must be confirmed before deciding
