Designing Staff Rosters is an exceedingly difficult & time consuming task. A practical roster which takes into account the many varied and conflicting parameters can take many hours and often days to complete. Poorly designed rosters can be wasteful on resources and lead to under and over-staffed shifts. Staff are the most important resource in an organisation and if their needs are not carefully considered, then morale and working efficiency can suffer.
Some methods of producing rosters just use variations of fixed shift patterns to approximate a solution, but ShiftEasy uses expert algorithms to fully take into account all the many factors involved. ShiftEasy was developed to handle virtually any rostering situation. Both Staff and Management requirements are integrated into one powerful and very flexible package
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
ShiftEasy's Intelligent Automatic design of rotas dramatically reduces the time spent by professional staff, so freeing them to concentrate on their specialist areas. Information is stored and available to the user e.g. staffing levels, budget information, deficits, external resources and personal achievements. This helps ensure the effective deployment of all staff. Different experimental rostering scenarios may be easily produced, examined and stored to allow different working practises to be considered.
The low cost of ShiftEasy and the dramatic reduction in time taken to produce rosters makes it a very cost effective solution. With ShiftEasy's fairness and efficiency features, improvements can also be made in the areas of morale, absenteeism and staff deployment. A single copy can also cope with an unlimited number of separate departments.

ShiftEasy has been developed to work on a standalone P.C. or as part of an existing system. In this way the very complicated Rostering function can be efficiently handled by ShiftEasy with information passing to and from a central system.
