Fargo, ND - May 9, 2017 - Atlas Business
Solutions, Inc. announced today that Hartford Police Department in
Hartford, Wisconsin has officially completed its implementation of
ScheduleAnywhere. Hartford Police Department changed to the online
officer scheduling app for its
ease of use and anywhere, anytime access.
Prior to deploying ScheduleAnywhere, the Hartford Police
Department used PC-based employee scheduling software. There were
limitations to this software that made it difficult to consistently
display an updated schedule. Staff had to rely on a paper copy of
the generated schedule to see when they had to show up for their
shifts. This caused confusion among the staff and officers.
One of the core drawbacks to printing the schedule was that the
officers and staff had to be in the police department to see the
schedule. If something changed while they were off duty or off
work, they wouldn't know about it until they came into the
department the next day.
Another big drawback was that the printed schedule wasn't always
the most up-to-date. If a change was made in the software but the
schedule hadn't been re-printed yet, the posted schedule became
outdated and inaccurate, leading to confusion any time a change was
made.
In December 2016, the Hartford Police Department knew they needed
to make a change, so they started the test phase with Atlas
Business Solutions, Inc.'s ScheduleAnywhere. The test phase was so
successful that only a month later, they chose to implement the new
scheduling method department-wide.
"ScheduleAnywhere has improved the way our department schedules
staff in that we can do it from virtually anywhere and make
immediate changes," said Administrative Lieutenant Scott
MacFarlan.
When a change is made, it is immediately seen by everyone in the
patrol. Staff can login to the app from anywhere to see their
schedules, giving them greater control over their personal and
professional lives.
"The staff love the new software! It makes their lives much
easier," Administrative Lieutenant MacFarlan commented.
