Overview
Snap Schedule Premium gives you enterprise-class scheduling power with more control
and more flexibility. Designed for multiple users working concurrently, it has all
the features you need and can scale up as your scheduling requirements grow.
Secure, multi-user operation with role-based access control
With Snap Schedule Premium’s role-based, multi-user access features, you can maintain
complete control over the scheduling process by granting or denying user access
to individual commands, features, and reports. For example, you can grant your schedulers
the authority to make schedule assignments and updates, allow your managers full
access to personnel data and manpower requirements, and provide other employees
with only read access to certain schedule views and reports. You can set privileges
to limit access to sensitive data like labor costs, financial reports, or employee
information. You can create as many roles as you like, each one with a different
set of privileges and assign a role to a group of users.
Store your data wherever you like and access it from anywhere
Snap Schedule Premium uses Microsoft SQL Server for its data storage and works with
all on-premise Microsoft SQL Server editions from 2005 to 2008 R2, Web-hosted SQL
Server 2005/2008 platforms, and the Microsoft SQL Azure cloud-based relational database
service. You have a wide range of options on where to store your data. You can use
the included SQL Server Express Edition on your desktop, connect to a database on
your enterprise SQL server, or put your data on a Web-hosted platform so users can
access the data from anywhere using a simple Internet connection.
Track changes
Snap Schedule Premium keeps track of the changes each user makes to the database.
Whether you log in/out, create new data records, delete or make changes to existing
data, Snap Schedule Premium maintains a database activity log that serves as an
audit trail. You can use this log to get answers to questions like “Who logged in
from where, when did they log in, and what changes were made? “ Snap Schedule Premium
supports Windows authentication for single sign-on and bypasses signing in if the
Windows login name is identical to its user name.
Cut scheduling & admin time
Snap Schedule Premium’s easy-to-use graphical user interface and powerful tools
make scheduling, editing information, analyzing data, and distributing schedules
easy and simple. It provides you with more ways to view scheduling data: Daily View
by shift or by employee, Shift View with coverage summary for each position, Task
View for scheduled tasks and breaks within a shift, and the familiar Calendar View
of assignments. Drag & drop to easily assign shifts, mark time off, and move or
copy assignments. Split shifts, multiple shifts, paid time off, unpaid time off
and on calls are all supported. E-mail or publish schedules and any reports in PDF
and a variety of other formats.
Reduce labor costs and avoid overtime
Snap Schedule Premium lets you accurately track absences and forecast staffing needs
to minimize over-staffing, which in turn reduces payroll costs. It automatically
sums up employees’ work hours and costs; calculates overtime, on-call, time off,
and shift premium pays; and provides detailed cost reports so you know instantly
if you are on budget. With flexible overtime and shift premium pay rules, you can
handle virtually any type of compensation pay and foresee the cost impact while
making a work schedule.
Comply with labor rules and collective agreements
Snap Schedule Premium helps you avoid grievances and ensure compliance to collective
bargaining agreements, HR policies, labor and working time regulations. Select the
conflict checks you want to run and make shift assignment with the assurance that
Snap Schedule Premium will warn you of any violations. When filling an open shift,
you can use multiple criteria to narrow down eligible employees.
Enterprise-grade performance for today’s IT demands
Built on the latest Microsoft® .NET and SQL Server technologies, Snap Schedule Premium
provides a scalable and extensible scheduling solution for enterprise-grade performance
at a small business price. In-house developers and system integrators can use the
Snap Schedule Premium software development kit (SDK) to integrate Snap Schedule
Premium into your company’s specific workflow and backend payroll systems or to
create custom plug-ins to extend its functionality.
