“I want a better way to schedule rosters than brute-forcing on Excel.”

Many clients create rosters by brute-forcing, which is a heavy workload that exhausts them mentally: especially with larger wards.

“I want to make rosters in seconds, not hours.”

Many clients have complained that they’re spending hours editing a roster to make sure shifts and calls are equally distributed and fair, so that everyone can be well-rested and work equal hours.

“I want to know that if approving my colleagues’ leave would cause a staff shortage.”

Some clients told us that if they approve an annual leave and later find out there is a staff shortage, they will have to call their colleagues back. While it could be fixed in most cases, sometimes they’re forced to end up with a day with staff shortages.

“I want to make sure my rosters have no human-error.”

It’s difficult to avoid human errors in roster scheduling. Sometimes, an error will go unspotted and only noticed during the month, and if it’s too late to fix, some staff need to overwork.

“I want to quickly adjust my roster when there are unforeseen manpower changes.”

Sometimes a staff has sudden long sick leave or needs operation; Sometimes there’s a sudden newcomer rotated from a different hospital. Regardless, it is not uncommon that you need to reschedule for a few more hours owing to these unforeseeable ad-hoc changes.

“My ward has complex structure and rules that are too complex for the generic roster apps.”

Complex structures and rules often make it hard to cross-check whether your roster schedule obeys all the rules. It also gets tiresome to uphold all the rules when you’re trying to schedule manually.
