About ScheduleAnywhere
ScheduleAnywhere is an online employee scheduling solution which enables users to schedule employees across multiple departments and locations, manage staffing requirements, track coverage, manage time off requests, control overtime, inform employees of schedule updates, and more. The system is designed for organizations in a range of industries including retail, business services, transportation, government, energy, healthcare, public safety, and law enforcement.
With ScheduleAnywhere, users can schedule and assign employees shifts, rotations, shift patterns, and time off, with the ability to schedule multiple employees at once and copy entire schedules or rotations to remove the need to re-enter repeating schedules. Staffing requirements can be entered into schedules to give users insight into whether a particular location, department, position, or shift is over- or under-staffed. The number of hours and staff members scheduled is automatically tracked, enabling users to monitor and control overtime. Employees scheduled across more than one department automatically appear on multiple schedules, allowing all of their managers to see when and where that employee is scheduled.
Users can manage employee permissions in ScheduleAnywhere, controlling whether employees can view individual or staff schedules, and make requests for time off, additional hours, and shift swaps. Self-scheduling can also be implemented, with manager review and approval of employee shifts before schedules are finalized. Employees are automatically notified of new published schedules, request approvals, and schedule changes by email or SMS, according to their communication preferences. Custom reports can be generated in ScheduleAnywhere, including schedules by shift, position, employee, skill, time frame, department, or location, and users can create reports on employee attendance, time off requests, schedule requests, total hours, estimated costs, employee skills, and much more.

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] helped me set up the system and was very patient and helpful. If I have issues, he answers no matter what day or time it is.
I used to spend up to 4 hours per day on hand-generated spreadsheets. It’s all I ever got accomplished. Now, I can Add employees, change schedules, and see years ahead within minutes or less!
Our staff loves this product! They can now submit for time off and view schedules from any pc or their phone.
This product has saved our Agency money and time.. I can now accomplish scheduling tasks in a fraction of the time freeing myself and other supervisors up to concentrate on other issues. It’s highly efficient and visually pleasing!
Schedule Anywhere is one of the best products our Agency has ever implemented. I highly recommend this to anyone whether you have 5 employees or 500.
Pros
To be able to visually see our entire staffs schedules for a 6-week period with just a glance.
Cons
Initial set up was a little too complicated for me to understand. For example, setting up Shifts and Coverage Watches, understanding when to use an Explanation, and understanding all of the features. Once set up, it was a breeze!
I’d like to be able to view more days spans instead of just 1, 7, 14 etc. for example I’d like to be able to view 2, 3, 4 .... etc.
I wish the app was more detailed and I could view the entire schedule instead of just one day at a time.
I’d like to be able to print all people on a shift daily as opposed to just the ones working.

The program does its job for us. I wish it would speak with Google calendar and other scheduling programs.
Pros
We have several different shifts and units. Schedule Anywhere allows us to view yearly schedules for our essential employees.
Cons
It can be difficult to use at times. The mobile version needs to be improved. It is basically useless as it stands now.

I have loved working in SA for 2 1/2 years....so much better than the old way we did scheduling!! staff love being able to view work schedule from their phone and it is very easy to submit trades.
Pros
admins can add information well into the future, no paper trail to keep track of like in past scheduling options at our facility, automatic opening of the timers, add and delete staff easily
easy for new staff to learn how to use, love being able to see the schedule on phone or work on from home
Cons
recently our facility blocked staff from viewing future information on the schedule...this has been a huge dissatifyer for staff because they can't view future trades, holiday/weekend assignments, details on who they can trade with or not. They can only view a finalized schedule or during the timer for BID sheet they can view that 6 weeks.
I would love to be able to alphabetize the staff names in the messages area because sometimes I need to look up past messages sent to staff. right now it is set up to organize by submission date and time...which is great most of the time. maybe look at adding a box to choose alphabetize if we need to find a specific person.
would like to see an option to copy the same explanation for the entire row for the 6 week view.
is there a way to count specific shifts a person has scheduled for a 6 week period? example Sally works 6 nights and 12 day shifts.

I have a lot on my wish-list, but overall I am genuinely satisfied with SA. It has made life so much easier than having to make schedules on Excel spreadsheets like we used to do in the past. The cost is reasonable and definitely worth it.
Pros
--We like the fact that it can be well displayed on the computer, but then also has an App so you can see the schedule on the run.
--Being able to use Highlighters and change colors of fonts for different shifts.
--Having a "Today" button on the drop down calendar. (That suggestion was from me and one of my co-workers!)
--Quick, friendly responses from my Account Rep [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].
--Easy to use functionality and features.
Cons
--I know there are buttons, but it would be better if we could use keyboard functions to Copy and Paste.
--It would be nice if the current day Column was highlighted in some way so it makes the current shifts/day stand out from the rest of the week that's being viewed.
--I hate that in order to move from one schedule to the next I have to use a Drop Down. It would be better to have buttons across the top so it would be one easy click to go back and forth between schedules.
--Add an "Explanation" to a schedule should also add it to the Master schedule. It's annoying that if I mark scheduled PTO on a specific schedule, I also have to go into the Master to make it have the Explanation as well.
--I know its all about security, but the multiple clicks and screens to Log-In is annoying and time consuming.
--I've asked for this before: it would be REALLY nice to have a button that does a "SWAP". Quite often I move two staff members to optimize their assignments and if I could just click on two shifts & then click SWAP it would be amazing!!!!!
--It would be really nice to have an UNDO button. Once you erase a shift, that info is gone and it can be very time consuming to figure out what shift you accidently removed.
--The App could definitely be improved. Simply having a list of people and their shift/position is weak. It could be displayed so much better, but the content seems cheap and like old technology.
