Custom-Designed Schedules

Need a new shift schedule? Did you know that: 

• Scheduling software programs won't create a schedule for you. Many come with schedule templates, but these aren't always a good choice (see "popular templates" below).
  
  
• Popular templates (e.g., Pitman, Panama, DuPont, Continential) were developed for big corporations with large staffs and constant workloads. Smaller groups with limited resources or variable workloads that adopt these generic patterns will not make effective use of their employees and may incur unnecessary costs. 

If you really want to maximize the utilization of your staff, you'll need a schedule that is custom-designed around your resources and requirements. That is our specialty. We design schedules that are matched to the coverage requirements, number of employees, and your scheduling restrictions / preferences. 

Most of our clients come from smaller organizations with less than 50 employees. They recognize the value of a good schedule, both to the organization and the employees. But they don't want to waste time trying to do it themselves. Some want to compare alternative approaches (e.g., 8-hour shifts vs. 10-hour shifts). Others simply want to get an expert’s professional opinion on the best solution.

  
We design schedules from scratch on an Excel spreadsheet. We start with the business requirements (workload and coverage needs). Once these are satisfied, we look for the most efficient ways to deploy the client’s resources while also maximizing the number of weekends off for employees. 

We have 18 years’ experience designing schedules for every industry imaginable, in English-speaking countries around-the-world. We’ve helped over a thousand people solve their scheduling and staffing problems. We can help you too. 

Don’t squander your organization’s resources by adopting a free schedule template you found elsewhere on the internet. Contact us today and get superior schedules, multiple options, and fast turnaround. Call us at (415) 717-3754, or click on the link below:

Client comments:

"I was searching for examples of 10 hour shifts and came across this web site. I read a couple of their articles and then discovered the Staffing Calculator. I couldn't seem to make the 10s work, so I took a gamble and filled out the Contact Us form or whatever it's called. I got an email back with a complete explanation why 10s were a bad choice for our company. They recommended two other approaches that would work better. Not only would these other approaches require less employees, but they would be more attractive to our employees. I was sceptical, but my curiosity got the best of me and I agreed to pay for their help. When I got the schedules, it was unbelievable. Bruce's explanation made it all clear. It was like a class in schedule design. Absolutely amazing! Trust me, this is the real deal for scheduling help."
