Lubbock, TX (PRWeb) February 16, 2007 -- Most managers are forced to build employee schedules using a complex process involving Excel spreadsheets, written scraps of paper, sticky-notes, and employee complaints. The end result of their hours of work is a tenuous schedule which is posted on a bulletin board.
Almost immediately, employees will begin requesting shift swaps, complaining of their own schedule requests not being considered, asking for more time off, begging for more shifts, and suddenly remembering that they forgot about their Spring Break trip, their grandmother's funeral, or their best friend's wedding. Later in the week, when employees forget when they are supposed to work, management can expect more phone calls from the work force. Management becomes responsible for routing phone calls from employees with inquiries about the schedule, time-off requests, showing up late, and other scheduling situations. If management is busy handling all of the workforce issues, then who is running the business?
TimeForge.com, a software product being developed by Resolution Software, is an online employee scheduling application designed to reduce scheduling headaches that are encountered by both management and employees. The web-based software is designed to quickly produce cost-efficient schedules which adhere to both employee and manager requests, and entire schedules can be produced within seconds. Employees are continually notified about schedule changes through the web interface, regular emails, and text messaging (SMS messages). All of the benefits built into the software are focused around one of your business' top assets -- labor.
Most online scheduling services require a monthly or yearly subscription and pricing is based on either the number of employees at the business or a flat-rate monthly fee. Although TimeForge.com will adopt a similar pricing model, the software is currently free for all users who are interested in being Beta users of the product. When the software is released to the public, all Beta users will receive free access to the software for a 6 month or 12 month period. User's can sign up to be Beta users by joining the TimeForge Users Newsletter, at the TimeForge.com website.
Print scheduling is a thing of the past; to be competitive in today's market, electronic scheduling is a necessity.
