At WristPlanner, our mission has always been to make task scheduling within the Microsoft Teams Planner environment more intuitive, accessible, and efficient—especially for professionals on the move. While our core strength lies in our smartwatch-first approach, we’re excited to highlight how our smartphone app support adds a whole new layer of flexibility and functionality.

A recent study by Boston Consulting Group reveals a striking reality: 70-80% of the global workforce is deskless. That’s nearly 2.7 billion people working in roles that don’t involve a desk—think healthcare nurses, warehouse staff, retail associates, construction workers, hospitality staff, and more. These individuals are essential to the global economy, yet they’re often underserved by digital tools—most of which are designed for desk-based environments or rely on smartphones or tablets that simply don’t suit the hands-on, fast-paced nature of their work.

Integrating WristPlanner with Microsoft Teams Planner and Dynamics 365 boosts deskless workers' productivity and connectivity. It enables real-time task management, seamless communication, and efficient checklist use via smartwatches. Field technicians receive notifications, update tasks, and complete checklists on the go, while managers can address urgent situations quickly. All updates sync with Dynamics 365, improving coordination, reducing response times, and ensuring team alignment for better performance.

Real-time notifications are crucial for maintaining productivity and efficiency in the workplace. WristPlanner enhances communication, collaboration, and decision-making by delivering instant updates through gentle wrist vibrations. This innovative approach helps reduce stress, improve time management, and ensure timely responses to critical tasks and customer inquiries. By using WristPlanner, professionals can stay informed and focused without constant distractions, leading to better overall performance and satisfaction.
