When Ugur Bastas and Daniel Hösli were managing the then engineering company HELVETING, they had to organize the large number of engineers in an extremely dynamic environment. The entire workforce was working on a project basis on various projects at the same time. And these personnel resources changed between various projects depending on the needs and orders of the customers and the availability, training and experience of the employees.

When they were looking for a suitable platform in the software market to plan their resources in a project-oriented manner and, in particular, to simulate planning scenarios, they quickly discovered that none of the tools available could fully meet their requirements. In addition - and probably for the same reason - the vast majority of their multinational customer organizations used nothing but Excel themselves... And so the idea for a platform like PQFORCE was born.
