Detailed Review
CrewPlanner is a staff planning platform from Antwerp for sectors that work with flexible and temporary staff, such as hospitality, events and staffing agencies. Planners can onboard staff, manage documents and contracts, build schedules, run time registration, and handle pay-outs and invoicing in one place.
The employee app, templating and multilingual interface are in every plan, and Classic adds pay-outs, invoicing, gamification, SMS notifications and chat. The about page says the founder worked for years as a planner in hospitality and built the tool out of frustration with Excel files.
The company is CrewPlanner BV at Van de Wervestraat 20 in Antwerp, and the site says it joined Securex Group in 2025 without publishing the terms.
The Belgian focus shows in the marketplace: Dimona, Group S, Liantis, SD Worx and Lohn24 sit beside Exact Online, Xero and Odoo. The pages checked name no hosting provider, location or security certification, so a buyer who handles contractor data should ask for the subprocessor list. Pro adds API tokens, advanced dashboards and a white label app on request, with training and workshops quoted separately.
Prices are published in euros per month and driven by the number of managers, because employee numbers are unlimited on every plan. Essential costs EUR 50 per month including one manager, Classic costs EUR 225 including three managers, and Pro costs EUR 900 including ten managers.
Extra managers cost EUR 50, EUR 75 and EUR 90 per month respectively. Assisted onboarding is a separate EUR 490 fee. No trial length is stated and the buttons lead to a demo booking. A hospitality group with many shift leaders pays for every manager seat.
