eSolve Scheduling Software

Many companies and organisations require a flexible approach to employee scheduling based on the constantly changing needs of different areas of the business and the challenges that may arise in the modern work environment.

Our ‘smart scheduling’ solution offers our vast array of customers a product that is not only reliable but is intuitive and can work easily within any complex work rule parameters.

Our scheduling software can solve many problems for managers eliminating paper based rosters and reducing errors associated with manual input.

When a manager or supervisor is scheduling a shift, they begin with a list of employees and assign shifts to each of them.

Managers would need to determine two vital sets of information:

• How much work needs to be assigned, i.e. how many of each type of job/person is needed and when are they needed, (i.e. avoid over-staffing or under-staffing).
• Who can and should do the work, i.e. who is right person who should be selected, taking into account skills and many other complex business rules, many of which need to be calculated ‘live’ based on the schedule information at that time.

Some of the Main Scheduling Features:

Smart Scheduling allows the schedule (i.e. work requirements) to be created easily and quickly, with the aid of features such as:

• Schedule building blocks (build visual hierarchical layers in the schedule to represent the departments and other groups within the organisation)
• Multiple schedule views
• Rotational schedule blocks
• Re-useable schedule templates
• Formula-driven auto-generated schedules linked to customer data (e.g. sales, footfall, bed numbers, appointments etc.).

The Benefits of Smart Scheduling Software

• Eliminate paper-based rosters and reduce errors associated with manual scheduling.
• Streamline and automate processes including but not limited to: contracted hours, unsociable shifts, shift distribution, availability and skills
• Visually display any schedule gaps and identify the best employees to select based on defined rules
• Map employees to jobs based on their own availability, skills and other factors such as gender balancing, languages, length of service and role.
• Show accurate costing and highlight budget overspends
• Allow employees greater control over their scheduling
• All users interact with the application on mobile devices
• Automatically send notifications to users
• Generate real-time reports

One of the many key features of Smart Scheduling is that each employee can interact with their scheduling profile, updating details or viewing their own schedules. They can view their own Employee records, set their own availability for work thus enabling them to accept or reject offers of work.
