It allows me to look at my schedule and my coworkers' schedules at the touch of a finger. It's extremely easy to use. Cons I wish this app would have an option to sync with Google Calendars. I use Google Calendar for all my personal events, and I wish I could upload my work events into my calendar - I currently enter them manually every month. Review Source RR Rhonda R. Lieutenant Law Enforcement Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing Product!" May 25, 2021 5.0 \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] 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. Alternatives considered [Deputy](https://www.capterra.com/p/167811/Deputy/) Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 4, 2021 Hi Rhonda: Wonderful! Thank you for such a great review. We are so happy to hear that ScheduleAnywhere has saved you so much time and money! I'll share your thoughtful comments with your sales executive. Thanks again! Best regards, Jane LB Lori B. RN Clinical Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Avera@Home Review" May 7, 2021 5.0 Pros I like that everything is located in one place. It is relatively easy to add and delete employees from the schedule. I like that I am able to pull up my screen and see an entire 6 week schedule at a glance. It's great to be able to add in all the different types of shifts. Cons I wish I didn't have to go through so many clicks to change a shift in an employees schedule. I wish if when I clicked on a box in there schedule I could just click select shift and be able to select a new shift without having to first clear the shift. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 3, 2021 Hi Lori: Thank you for taking time to provide a review. We are always looking for ways to enhance our solution. I'll share your feedback with our development team. Thanks again for being a ScheduleAnywhere customer! Best regards, Jane sP stephanie P. Volunteer Services Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Game Changer!" May 13, 2021 5.0 the staff have been very helpful, and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], our contact is always able to answer our questions. The videos are extremely helpful. Pros ScheduleAnywhere is different in that it is intuitive for 90% of our staff! As the lead person learning about the product, if and how it would fit our 24/7 facility with 9 different departments and over a dozen different shift schedules. Quickly I learned this would be a perfect fit. As with any new data base, it was a bit time consuming on the front end entering in information and making it truly fit our needs, once the data is there, there is an ease about manipulating, changing, copying information. ScheduleAnywhere does have an option of sending them data- we thought entering the data ourselves would allow us to better learn how to utilize the product. The ease our staff have found the product. We held off using the Requests for time off, yet our staff were sending requests right at the start. Accessing it from any computer, phone or tablet with ease. From a manager perspective, accessing accurate and up to date info for our staff is crucial in healthcare. Cons Alphabetizing would be great for reports. I have not used the manager reports as much as I thought as they are a bit cumbersome in extra data that I then need to delete from the excel spreadsheet. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions May 19, 2021 Hi Stephanie: Thank you so much for the great review! We are so happy to hear that ScheduleAnywhere has been a game changer in addressing your scheduling needs! I'll share your feedback on manager reports with our product team. Thanks again! All the best, Jane DS David S. Patrol Commander Law Enforcement Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lafayette Police Department" May 25, 2021 5.0 We first began exploring scheduling options right before the COVID19 Pandemic began (03/20). Managing our operations in response to the pandemic was challenging enough, but exploring new scheduling alternatives was simultaneously was overwhelming. Schedule Anywhere worked with us to learn the system and integrate the software to our troops. The entire process from first call to rollout was almost nine months, but Schedule Anywhere stayed by our side. I use the system daily to put people where they need to be. All of our personnel enjoy Schedule Anywhere's accessibility and user friendly system. Pros We switched to Schedule Anywhere after using an Xcel Spreadsheet platform. We are now enjoying every aspect of the 24/7 Internet accessibility. Also, the scheduling features allowing ease of schedule creations is a must have. Cons Learning Schedule Anywhere Software was a little daunting a first, but well worth the time and effort. Our representative/sales associate is amazingly helpful, available, and patient. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere Customer service, support, simplicity, cost, exact product for our needs. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 3, 2021 Dear David: Thank you for taking time to provide such a wonderful review. We're happy to hear that you feel the scheduling features are a "must have" for your organization. Thank you for being a ScheduleAnywhere customer! Best regards, Jane WH Wade H. Police Investigator/IT Law Enforcement Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SA review" May 26, 2021 5.0 Good, thank you. Pros I like the audit feature and tracking where you can move your mouse over. This is critical for our union contract and ensures people aren't changing the schedule last minute and blaming the employee. I like the mobile app version as well. Cons I still can't really figure out how to use the feature to let me know when there is not sufficient coverage, or if too many people may be scheduled, etc. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere We were using MS Excel and it was to cumbersome and took too much time for an employee to create schedule and even with a password lock, other supervisors would forget or couldn't access it, or the whole save and read feature, just too complicated. This looked simple. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 3, 2021 Dear Wade: Thank you for providing a review of ScheduleAnywhere. We're happy to hear that you like the mobile app. You mentioned needing help with using the coverage watch feature. We have a helpful video on our website under the "resource" section that provides a nice overview that you may find helpful. I'll also ask your account manager to get in touch with you to go over how to use coverage watches effectively. Thanks again for your review. Best regards, Jane NS Nicolle S. RN Supervisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Schedule Anywhere - super helpful to end user staff" May 6, 2021 5.0 Great. Pros ability for staff to see their schedule from home electronically Cons complicated set up - not enough tools/education about how to set up employees new and leaving employees. need more help learning how to do maintenance on the department level of SA Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere unknown Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 3, 2021 Hi Nicolle: Thank you for the review! We're so happy to hear that you find ScheduleAnywhere super helpful to end user staff. I'll share your feedback on training with our marketing team. Thanks again! Best, Jane KN Kathryn N. Registered Nurse Supervisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Schedule Anywhere use for Emergency Room Staffing/Scheduling " May 10, 2021 4.0 We went from paper scheduling to online scheduling with Schedule Anywhere so it has been a definite improvement. Like all software programs, I do feel like there is room for improvement. Pros I like the accessibility of being able to access the schedule from anywhere and submit changes/requests with just the use of my phone! Cons As a supervisor, I wish we could "hide" the schedule from staff when we are working/creating a schedule and then "post" it and make it visible to staff when we are done with it. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 4, 2021 Dear Kathryn: Thank you for the review. We're happy to hear that you like the mobile app! Also, I wanted to share that you can work on a schedule privately until you're ready to post it. Once your schedule is complete, simply post it through a designated date. All employees with messaging preferences will instantly be notified via email and/or text message that the schedule is ready for viewing. We have a helpful video on our website under the resource section that has more information about posting schedules. Thanks again for being a ScheduleAnywhere customer! All the best, Jane CP Carolyn P. RN surgical coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Schedule Anywhere" May 6, 2021 5.0 We have enjoyed having the abitily to see schedules from home for submitting requests and trading shifts. Pros I like the ability to have all requests submit electronically rather than piles of paper Cons I am not a fan of the mobile app. It is too limited in views. Would like it to look and function more like the desktop application. Would be much easier to submit request if it functioned like the desktop Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 3, 2021 Dear Carolyn: Thank you! We appreciate your review and feedback. I'll share your comments with our development team. All the best, Jane DA Derek A. Captain Law Enforcement Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Chisago County- SO" May 25, 2021 4.0 \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been fantastic to work with. Helps a ton that he is retired LE working on the LE scheduling. Pros Ability to customize the schedule to fit our agencies needs. Cons The mobile is far below where it should be. This is the #1 complaint I get regarding the software and would be the only reason we would consider a competitor. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere Customer service is what truly sold us. Switched from [Aladtec](https://www.capterra.com/p/248403/Aladtec/) The ability to customize the fields. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 4, 2021 Dear Derek: Thank you for the feedback and your kind words about your Account Executive. I'll share your comments with the team. Best regards, Jane KM Kristi M. Nursing Supervisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Scheduling Tool" May 19, 2020 5.0 I supervise over 75 staff so Schedule Anywhere is easy to use and see very quickly who is working where. Pros You can use Schedule Anywhere at work, home or on your phone. Easy to make changes and for staff to put in schedule requests. Cons On your phone it is a little more difficult to utilize all the functions. If you ar scheduled on multiple units it is hard to check that. Review Source PJ Peggy J. Supervisor Food & Nutrition Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Supervisor Food & Nutrition" May 6, 2021 5.0 Very good! Pros I feel that the software is very easy to use. Cons I wish that the boxes of the shifts could be bigger and that I could put two shifts in one box. Also, that I would be able to make the schedule itself bigger when I print it out. Also, that the boxes of the shifts could be more freeform to put a text in. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere This is what the hospital is using. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions May 19, 2021 Hi Peggy: Thank you for the great review! We are happy to hear that you're finding ScheduleAnywhere very easy to use. In addition, I wanted to share that the software does allow an employee to be assigned multiple shifts per day as long as they don't overlap. You can also apply notes to a shift by double clicking a day on the schedule and entering your information. Thanks again for your review! All the best, Jane ME Madyson E. Account Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Schedule Anywhere" June 18, 2019 4.0 Pros Schedule Anywhere makes scheduling easy! We have full-time, part-time and equipment scheduling on SA and we love it. It is quick to access online and easy to use and read. Cons On the mobile app, you have to click through a few pages to find what you are looking for based on who you are. And on the web based site, you can't click off of the page and then click page to it without being automatically logged out. Other than silly little things like that, it's great! Review Source MA Matt A. Chief of Police Law Enforcement Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great cost effective scheduling" May 25, 2021 5.0 Very satisfied. Pros The produce was easy to sell to my City Manager due to the cost. Cons Nothing really, just getting used to the product. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 4, 2021 Hi Matt: Wonderful! Thank you for the great review! Best regards, Jane RR Rance R. COO Used the software for: ### "Hospital Review of ScheduleAnywhere" January 4, 2016 5.0 Pros I work for a rural hospital and have been scheduling nurses for shift work for over 10-years. This is by far the easiest and most user friendly scheduling application I've ever used. I makes scheduling for my Emergency Department, Med/Surg Department, Surgical Service Department, and Physicians Clinic scheduling a breeze and allows me to communicate scheduling needs with my staff very easy. Cons The initial setup or building a schedule for the first time can be a little time consuming but once your schedules are built they are easy to maintain. Review Source eD ellen D. Radiology Manager Used the software for: ### "very time consuming depending on number of employees" December 10, 2015 5.0 Like the email capabilities and the mass texting ability Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions December 11, 2015 Hello Ellen, thanks for taking the time to review ScheduleAnywhere. We'll have one of our reps get in touch, perhaps there are some tips we can offer to help scheduling move faster for your department. We now have self scheduling features that can speed scheduling time greatly. If any other questions you can always email us at info@scheduleanywhere.com. Thanks again for the review! KH Keena H. Assistant Communications Supervisor Used the software for: ### "Wonderful Product!" February 5, 2016 5.0 Super simple to set up and use, and it provides a clear and easy -to-understand overview for employees to view. Showing open shifts, and getting coverage is so much easier than our paper copy excel sheet days. Sending messages to entire shifts or to the part time roster - notifying them of openings, along with the mobile application for our employees solidifies this for us. Review Source TG Tim G. Used the software for: ### "Very useful" December 5, 2016 5.0 Love ScheduleAnywhere. We use it for every member of our organization. I like the ease of use, from both a user and an administrative standpoint. You can log into it remotely (via app or mobile web browser) and you can submit time off requests from anywhere. Review Source CP Christine P. Director - Women's Health Used the software for: ### "Great experience. Looking forward to additional features. Would suggest to others." February 17, 2016 4.0 Would like to see a better mobile app. The current app is very limited and difficult to read if there are many employees (as in our case). Would be nice to be able to advance to another date from the schedule screen. Review Source JR Jonathan R. President Used the software for: ### "Makes our lives easier. Period. " June 8, 2016 5.0 Easy to use. Support is great. Training is wonderful. Review Source AM Alyssa M. Rn Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best shift scheduling system! " November 26, 2024 5.0 Awesome! I loved how easy it was to navigate and filter through different shifts Pros How easy it was to view and edit shifts! Cons The colors scheme. If it was more color coordinated it would be even better Switched from [ShiftWizard](https://www.capterra.com/p/178376/ShiftWizard/) Company implemented new scheduling system Review Source KS Kassi S. Pharmacy Operations Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Schedule Anywhere Review" May 7, 2021 4.0 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. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere 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. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 3, 2021 Hi Kassi: Thank you so much for the review! We always appreciate customer feedback as we strive to have the best scheduling software solution on the market. Thanks again for being a ScheduleAnywhere customer! All the best, Jane MY Mike Y. Captain Law Enforcement Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great scheduling tool for law enforcement and shift work" May 25, 2021 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere #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. Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 3, 2021 Dear Mike: Thank you! We love hearing that your experience with ScheduleAnywhere has been excellent! We really appreciate your business. Best regards, Jane LT Lisa T. RN Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Schedule anywhere " May 19, 2021 5.0 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. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere not part of the purchasing decision Review Source Response from Atlas Business Solutions June 4, 2021 Hi Lisa: Thank you for the great review! So happy to hear that your staff love being able to view work schedules from their phones and find it very easy to submit trades. I'll have your customer support representative get in touch with you about some of your questions. Thanks again! All the best, Jane LV Laurie V. RN Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love this product" July 22, 2021 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Reason for choosing ScheduleAnywhere The mobile feature!
