If you are a current Chronotek user, you’re going to greatly appreciate our new calendar-based Smart Scheduling by the job. It’s the coolest thing since, you know, “sliced bread.” If you’re still on the fence and haven’t made the wise decision to use technology to capture accurate time for payroll then this might be just the right time. This new Smart Scheduling tool is one more way we can save you money and simplify your life.
We provide the advantage with real-time integration. With calendar-based Job Scheduling, you can view job schedules by day, week, bi-weekly, and monthly. The powerful advantage is that we house the employee’s LIVE time cards. As you add an employee to a schedule, you can see that employee’s scheduled and accrued hours in real time so that you don’t inadvertently schedule her for overtime.
We do the math. At the top of each view (daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly) you can see how many total hours have been scheduled and actual hours accrued for your job, across all employees. One quick look lets you know if the scheduled vs. actual is off-kilter. Time is money! Your profits can be wasted if your employees are spending too much time at each site. And on the flip side, too little time spent at each site can lead to poor quality, resulting in unhappy customers- a deadly poison to your profits.
We broadcast the changes LIVE. All new schedules or revisions are LIVE and are pushed out to our mobile site for supervisors and employees to view. Read more about the power of our newly enhanced mobile site in our Great 8 blog post.
We provide flexibility. As before, you can create late alerts to notify you by email or text of no-shows. Various recurrent patterns (i.e. every other week) can be scheduled for jobs that repeat intermittently.
Why is it smart? This first iteration of ‘smart’ takes scheduling to a new level when the integrated powerful Budget Planning tool (coming soon) is also used. This dynamic tool allows you to create budgets with calendar-based intervals. The three elements of time (actual, scheduled, and budgeted) exponentiates the management information available, putting power in the hands of many management levels. Budget Planning will let you know if you are on or off target for your seasonal, monthly, annual or “you decide the term” budget.
But more on that later. First enjoy Smart Scheduling and see how it will change your life. We know it will.
