Why better scheduling matters
Organizations that put their people first are becoming the employers of choice in a highly competitive labor market. Providing schedule flexibility, while building schedules collaboratively, prevents employees from leaving jobs with schedules that don’t fit into their lives.
Begin with an intelligent forecast
Lay a strong foundation in order to efficiently align labor to demand. Project the labor needed to meet demand by using a combination of historical data, recent trends, and seasonal predictions. Or, simply import anticipated business demand.

Auto-generate intelligent schedules
Save time by generating a best-fit schedule automatically. Take factors into consideration like business demand, labor budget, employee preferences, workforce skills and certifications, union rules, rest rules, and more.

Support agile staffing
Share workers across locations or job roles through centralized scheduling. Use visual indicators and KPIs to make quick adjustments. Plus, workers themselves can trade shifts on their mobile devices to help balance staffing coverage.
