Product Description

Product Description

Chapman Software has developed a series of this scheduling software. It's extremely helpful to start with the product that closely matches your scheduling needs, rather than starting to build it from a "one size fits all" product.

There are helpful tabs at the bottom of the screen, which walk you through the setup and instructions in a step-by-step fashion. The data was already filled in with a examples, so you could pretty easily substitute the names of your employees for the sample names.

We all know that "time is money" when it comes to business. It is a mammoth task to schedule so many employees if you didn't have a system like this one. Without a tool like Scheduling Spreadsheets, it might take you hours or even days to set up such a complex schedule.

Scheduling Spreadsheets have lots of charts and graphs that you can print out, displaying the schedules in different ways. Once you have the basic chart structure set (which is already done for you by Scheduling Spreadsheets) then you have all the power of Microsoft Excel at your disposal. I think it's good to go with a standard like Excel for your office scheduling needs. With your normal operating system and Microsoft Office updates, you'll stay current without extra expense. You may decide to add some new features, but the spreadsheets themselves should never really be outdated.

The Scheduling Spreadsheets software is interspersed with written and graphical instructions, which explain things so you don't feel lost at any point. Hints appear as "bubbles" pointing to a particular field and explaining in simple terms what you are supposed to do. If you have a question on any page, you can click the "question mark" image, and you get lots of helpful instructions too.

From the testimonials it is clear that Chapman Software customers are very pleased with how the Scheduling Spreadsheets helped them stay within budget. Scheduling Spreadsheets could save you time, keep you in budget, and relieve stress too!

Product Description

The scheduling package includes spreadsheets to schedule your employees to rotating shifts, complex shifts or split shifts and two spreadsheets that will automatically schedule your people to up to 3 or 6 daily shifts. All of the spreadsheets produce individual and group schedules as well as monthly calendars. The Rotating Shift Scheduler is ideal for businesses that operate 24/7 and wish to rotate employee days off or shifts on a regular basis. The built-in vacation scheduler allows you to assign vacation days or other absences to your employees and then assign other employees to cover the vacated shifts. The CD includes over 150 example 8, 10 and 12 hour schedules for your consideration. The Complex Shift Scheduler age-related work rules feature prevents you from assigning any of your employees to shifts that would violate youth work rules. Daily, weekly and monthly budgets can be tracked based on individual employee wages and scheduled hours. This spreadsheet is ideal for situations where your employees have limited availability or where your staffing needs vary considerably over a 24 hour period requiring you to create a unique schedule for each of your employees. The 3 Shift Automatic Scheduler allows you to schedule lunch breaks as well as 2 other daily breaks. Shift staffing can vary considerably from one day to another or from one shift to another and the program will automatically fill your shifts. These spreadsheets create monthly schedules one-week-at-a-time for up to a month and works equally-well for businesses that are open 5, 6 or 7 days a week.
