  • What is scheduling software?

    Scheduling software is a technology used by small and medium-sized businesses to plan staffing schedules. Instead of using paper, whiteboards or spreadsheets, the specialized software helps managers and business owners create shift patterns in minutes by using an intuitive interface. They can then share schedules with employees via an app, email or even text.

    Small and medium business scheduling software comes with many other features that streamline the rostering process. It also allows employees to perform tasks such as swapping shifts with coworkers or submitting vacation requests.
