VRS AI for daily operations
Operational intelligence, embedded in the workflow
VRS AI builds on live schedules, timesheets, compliance rules, and connected systems — helping managers resolve gaps faster, teams complete routine work by conversation, and leaders spot risk before it reaches payroll. In active development, rolling out with early-access customers.

AI Planning
Planning support grounded in real constraints
VRS AI analyses availability, skills, rest requirements, and project demands to generate optimal shift plans instantly. Planners stay in control — AI handles the grunt work.
In practice: Operations teams that previously spent 6–8 hours per week filling gaps and resolving conflicts manually report reducing that to under 30 minutes once AI Planning is active — because qualified, rested, available staff are surfaced immediately rather than found through calls and messages.
⚡
Fill gaps in seconds
When a shift goes uncovered, AI surfaces qualified, rested staff immediately.
🛡️
Compliance-aware by default
Every suggestion validated against Norwegian labour law rest rules, collective agreements, and your own custom rules.

AI Agent
Operational tasks, handled by conversation
The VRS AI Agent lets your managers and employees complete routine workforce tasks through natural language — without navigating menus, filling forms, or waiting for IT support.
The problem it replaces: Managers on complex operations typically handle 15–25 routine workforce tasks per week — leave approvals, shift swap requests, coverage queries, compliance checks. Each one requires navigating menus, checking schedules manually, and sending follow-up messages. VRS Agent handles the ones that don't need judgment, so managers focus on the ones that do.

✦ AI Summary — Week 48
This was a strong operational week. Shift coverage reached 97.3%, up from 96.2% the previous week. The increase was driven largely by Bergen and Stavanger sites improving last-minute fill rates after AI shift suggestions were adopted by planners.The overtime spike (+12h) is concentrated at Oslo and is linked to two unplanned absences on Tuesday and Wednesday. Consider pre-assigning a standby resource for Oslo early-week shifts going forward. No compliance violations recorded.
AI Playbook — New
Your rules. AI enforces them.
Write workforce rules in plain language — overtime limits, absence caps, compliance references, cost guardrails. VRS AI monitors your data continuously and fires alerts the moment a rule is breached or approaching.
Used in practice to monitor overtime thresholds, absence caps, and Norwegian labour law rest requirements across multi-site operations — without manual end-of-week reviews.
1
Write a rule
Plain language. No code. "Warn me if project #323 exceeds 100h overtime."
2
AI parses intent
VRS AI extracts the threshold, category, scope, and alert type automatically.
3
Continuous monitoring
Rules run silently against live data — schedules, timesheets, leave, and payroll.
4
Instant alerts
Get notified in the app, by email, or via Slack when a threshold is hit or approaching.
How Playbook rules work
Write rules in plain language — VRS monitors continuously
Example rules — as written by operations teams
⏱ Overtime
"Notify me if project #323 exceeds 100h overtime or more than 20% overtime ratio"
→ VRS extracts threshold, scope, and alert type automatically
🏥 Absence
"Sick leave should not be used more than 16 days per employee per year"
→ Runs against all employees, warns before the cap is reached
⚖️ Compliance
"Warn us if we are breaching the labour law rest requirements for Department Oslo"
→ References Norwegian AML rest rules. Fires before a breach — not after
💰 Cost
"Alert if monthly overtime cost for any department exceeds NOK 50,000"
→ Continuous monitoring — no manual end-of-month review needed
Rules can reference specific departments, projects, employees, labour law articles, or collective agreement terms. VRS maps plain language to structured monitoring logic during setup.
