Great tool
Higher Education
- I used this awesome tool to schedule 12 hr shifts for an organization with over 30 employees
- Never had an issue knowing who was on night shift or on call
- On the administrative side, it didn't alert users if their schedule was changed unknowingly
- This resulted in more than one close call in someone missing a shift

Review
Excellent
- Using this product took minutes to complete an entire years worth of scheduling
- Only wish there were more colors to use
Why they chose it
"Pricing and ease of use during demonstration over internet."

Good product but not the easiest to work with
The program does its job for us. I wish it would speak with Google calendar and other scheduling programs.
- We have several different shifts and units
- Schedule Anywhere allows us to view yearly schedules for our essential employees
- It can be difficult to use at times
- The mobile version needs to be improved
- It is basically useless as it stands now

Best shift scheduling system!
Awesome! I loved how easy it was to navigate and filter through different shifts
- How easy it was to view and edit shifts
- The colors scheme
- If it was more color coordinated it would be even better
Switched From
Company implemented new scheduling system

Schedule Anywhere Review
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.
- --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
- --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
Why they chose it
"Clairvia is AWFUL. We use Cerner for our EHR so the nursing team decided to go with Clairvia and then all hospital departments were permitted to use it as well if they wished. My team and I tried to use Clairvia, but the functionality and customization was very, very minimal. Clairvia is designed to take acuity and level of care staffing into consideration and thats absolutley not something my department here in the Pharmacy needed. I have a staff of 120 people that are needed each day no matter if the hospital is busy or if we have a slower day."

Great scheduling tool for law enforcement and shift work
Our experience with this company has been excellent. From the initial demo of the product, through implementation, to continued support and regular follow-up just to see how things are going. It is a great program and does what it is designed for.
- When I ran across this company from a magazine ad, I called them
- I explained that I worked in law enforcement and we were searching for a scheduling solution, and they asked if we were working 8's or 12's (hour shifts), and what our cycle was
- At that point, I knew I had finally found a company that understands the varied law enforcement schedules, which can be complicated
- When I have had questions, I simply email the company and receive a quick response or phone call with the solution
- Employees can use the app to request leave and their supervisor receives an immediate push notification on their phone
- They can quickly ensure proper coverage There are also training video's that are short and to the point for both users and managers that can be accessed at any time
- I have not found many things that I don't like about this software
- If anything, maybe the phone app could use a little work to make it more visually appealing
Why they chose it
"#1) Functionality, #2) Price, #3) Ease of use If you are still looking for scheduling software, set-up a demo with ScheduleAnywhere. I have no direct ties to this company but this is one of the best (and most popular with our staff) software programs that we have implemented and we continue to receive positive feedback from our users."

Schedule anywhere
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.
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
- 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

Love this product
Schedule Anywhere team has been wonderful to work with. They are quick to answer questions. They also listen to our suggestion on how to better their program and have made exceptional changes from our feedback.
- Schedule Anywhere as really changed my scheduling job
- I have been scheduling in an Emergency Department for 10 years, the last 3 yrs with Schedule Anywhere
- I had been awesome to be able to see staff schedules across the system, if they work in other departments, and that staff have access to schedule from home
- They can submit swaps, schedule request, and vacation request on their days off
- I also love the ease of the coverage watches to assure my unit is properly staffed for each shift
- The filter option is also very useful when staffing a large department
- I wish that staff could see explanations beyond the self scheduling dates
- We use explanation to mark their assigned weekend/holidays and future trades
- It is a nice visual for staff to be able to see and plan for the future
- I also wish, as a manager, that I could edit Shifts/ requests from the Messages Inbox
Why they chose it
"The mobile feature!"

Communication enhancing tool
ScheduleAnywhere has been an incredible addition to our agency. We were getting complaints about communication between sections and changes to printed schedules that no one knew about. this program has greatly diminished the complaints. The availability to have notifications go out to affected officers and not every employee is great. We use the messaging function constantly.
- The availability to review or modify the schedule at anytime is worth the cost
- Schedule change notifications to the affected officers keeps them informed without having to post multiple versions of a schedule
- The messaging function is an effective way to communicate with a single employee, a specific department, or the entire agency
- Tracking changes may be helpful for an administrator
- Once the change has been posted to the schedule there is a note that states who made the change, if you know it was a change and place your cursor over it
- The officer whose schedule was changed will be notified, but if a supervisor makes a change and fails to post it and I post the modified schedule, unless it was my schedule that changed and I received the notification, I have no idea what changes were made or by whom
