Get pre-built schedules based on your scheduling history (RoboSchedule)
TimeForge is proud to introduce our latest feature, RoboSchedule. Yet another quick intuitive tool to help create employee schedules. Each RoboSchedule contains the shifts you’ve already been manually creating each week and eliminates the hassle.
Many managers rely on the TimeForge AutoScheduler and schedule forecasts, or if they’ve got a small crew, they might build schedules manually, one shift at a time. RoboSchedule cuts out the weekly clicks by monitoring your scheduling habits and auto-populating schedules based on your previous scheduling history. This functionality even includes auto-generating on the same day you normally build you schedules.
RoboSchedule Main Features:
- Studies your weekly schedule uploads for optimization
- Automatically imports previous schedule history
- Will copy any previous consecutive manual edits
- Use a template? It will automatically apply it to your schedule
