Auto-scheduling
What is auto-scheduling?
Auto-scheduling is a process that utilises everything from key business data and pre-defined parameters to measures of artificial intelligence (AI) in order to roster on the right employees at the right time.
What are the benefits of auto-scheduling?
The operational benefits of utilising methods of auto-scheduling are widespread. Firstly, rostering in this way saves managers valuable time. Rather than manually sifting through data and creating a roster, processes are automated so that rosters can be built with the touch of a button.
One of the great things about auto-scheduling is that it can take into account pre-defined parameters which are all user specific. This means that compliance measures can be built into the scheduling process to ensure each and every schedule is lawful.
It’s also worth noting that auto-scheduling provides insights that can help with labour forecasting. By taking into consideration the trends from previous schedules, the auto-scheduling feature can ensure that you have enough staff for public holidays and the right crew for off peak times.
How do businesses manage auto-scheduling?
Auto-scheduling is facilitated by online rostering software. With Roubler’s rostering software, AI rosters can be created with the click of a button, all the while, in the background, data is being mined to create the most efficient and effective schedule possible.
