Frontlion uses visit volume, service type, and service duration to show expected demand by hour. Compare the forecast with scheduled capacity to identify periods that may need closer review.
The Demand Curve
Intelligence
Staffing Intelligence
Use historical visit and service data to anticipate demand by hour and compare it with scheduled coverage. Frontlion helps teams identify potential staffing gaps early and make more informed scheduling decisions.
Frontlion AI
Turn a staffing gap into a clear next step.
The Frontlion AI Cockpit can surface patterns in demand and coverage and suggest a possible adjustment. Managers review the recommendation and decide whether to apply it. No scheduling change is made automatically.
Early Warning
Find coverage gaps while there is still time to respond.
See where forecast demand may exceed scheduled capacity before the day begins. Managers can review the affected hours and adjust coverage while the schedule can still be changed.
