Rusk County Sheriff's Office Adds New Deputy Scheduling App

Wisconsin sheriff’s office changes to online scheduling process with ScheduleAnywhere

Fargo, ND - April 25, 2018 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. announced today that Rusk County Sheriff's Office based in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, has moved to ScheduleAnywhere as their staff scheduling solution.

Prior to ScheduleAnywhere, the Sheriff's Office used Atlas Business Solutions' desktop scheduling software, Visual Staff Scheduler Pro. With increased demand for the convenience of mobile access to work schedules, the Sheriff's Office made the move to ScheduleAnywhere.

"Our deputies and staff wanted to have the option of viewing their schedule on a mobile device," says Chief Deputy Phil Grassmann. "Plus we liked some of the new features of ScheduleAnywhere. For example, the system prevents us from double-scheduling employees. If you unknowingly try to schedule a person who is already scheduled, a prompt comes up telling you that you already have the employee scheduled. It's been a nice addition."

When asked about how the employees have responded to the switch to ScheduleAnywhere, Chief Deputy Grassmann responds, "Employees like it because they are now able to look at their schedule from home. It is very helpful for employees when considering whether or not to pick up an overtime shift or an inmate transport."

ScheduleAnywhere has made scheduling easier for Rusk County Sheriff's Office. With the ability to install the ScheduleAnywhere mobile app on each of the employees' smartphones, Chief Deputy Grassmann's team appreciates knowing when they have to work without doubting whether they have the most current schedule.
