It was originally developed for nurse and clinical staff scheduling, but it supports a wide variety of industries and team types from hospitals and pharmacies to call centers, government agencies, retail, and other organizations.

Key Features

Schedule360 bundles a wide array of features designed to cover most, if not all, workforce scheduling needs. Some of the standout features:

• Shift Posting / Swap / Exchange: Staff can trade or pick up shifts (according to configurable rules), reducing manager workload and improving flexibility.

• Broadcast / Dispatch for Last-minute Shifts: When urgent coverage is needed (e.g. sudden call-outs), schedulers can alert all qualified staff via email, text to fill open shifts quickly.

• Templates & Recurring Schedules: Create recurring schedule templates (e.g. regular shift patterns) for ease of scheduling.

• Time-off / Leave / Availability Management: Employees can submit time-off requests, mark availability/unavailability; the system tracks and incorporates those into scheduling decisions.

• Real-time Scheduling & Access Anywhere: Because it is web-based and cloud-hosted, schedules can be accessed/updated in real time, from any computer or mobile device.

• Reporting & Analytics: Dashboard and reporting tools to monitor staffing, overtime, labor cost, scheduled vs. worked hours, and more with report export (e.g. prints, Excel).

• Time Tracking / Clock-In-Out / Payroll Integration: Supports time-clock / punch-in-out, connects with payroll/HR systems to streamline payroll processing and time-sheet management.

• Credential & Skills Tracking: Especially useful for healthcare tracks staff certifications, credentials, ensures only qualified staff are assigned to shifts requiring certain skills.
