Automating Spare Management

Spare automation in SquidWeb helps planning teams manage spare positions more efficiently by reducing manual work while keeping full control.

When spare automation is enabled, robots support planners by handling repetitive spare-related actions automatically. These robots can add spare positions, remove excess spares, and suggest suitable crew members when needed. All actions remain fully visible to planners, ensuring transparency at every step.

Automating spare management helps keep projects accurate, reduces manual adjustments, and allows teams to react faster to last-minute changes.

• Delete Spare Robot

The Delete Spare robot removes excess spare positions when more spares have been added than needed.

This keeps projects clean and avoids unnecessary or unused spare slots in the planning view.

• Add Spare Robot

The Add Spare robot automatically creates spare positions when additional backup capacity is required.

This helps ensure that projects always have spare coverage without planners needing to manually create new positions each time.

• Assign Spare Robot

The Assign Spare robot suggests the best available crew member for a spare position.

Planners can quickly review the suggestion and decide whether to proceed, making it easier to fill spare roles without manual searching.

All actions performed by spare automation robots are visible to planners. This ensures teams always understand what has changed and can step in whenever adjustments are needed.
