Review the following case studies to see how STAFFeasy works in real-life situations and it might help your organization:
Wolfgang Puck Catering Company: When the Hollywood, CA location of the Wolfgang Puck Catering Company schedules events, it's no easy task. With almost 300 staff members and hundreds of shift assignments each month all scheduled manually, the catering company has been looking for a better way. After an exhaustive research process, they concluded that STAFFeasy was the right solution. Operational since March, 2002, the catering company allows its staff members to sign up for events via STAFFeasy's web interface. STAFFeasy's intelligent matching component then helps assign appropriate staff members to appropriate events. Best of all, STAFFeasy automatically notifies staff members, Wolfgang Puck management, and anyone else associated with the event of staffing assignments, dates changes, and other event updates.
Contract Security: Your company provides security officers to businesses of all types and sizes. Some of your staff are employees and are part-time, and others work for you and other companies. Your staff members have different qualifications that are required for the various types of security they are providing. Work requests from your customers may be long-term assignments with advance notice or last minute requests for short term needs. Regardless of these variables, STAFFeasy is your ideal scheduling solution. Each of your staff member’s profiles, specialties and capabilities are maintained within STAFFeasy. In addition, your staff members can specify their availability to work, whether it is for a date range or specific event. As work requests come in, you simply enter the event details into STAFFeasy, and indicate the number and type of security personnel you need. STAFFeasy then matches the job assignments to the appropriate staff members, based on required hours, preferences, availability, qualifications and much more. Once STAFFeasy identifies the correct staff, it can contact them by e-mail or pager and notify the of their work assignment. A two-way pager interface allows them to confirm their intent to work, and your staffing coordinator can see the jobs request fill up real time.
Special Events for Law Enforcement: In the Law Enforcement industry, off duty officers are often available for special events. Whether it’s the local weekend football game, or a local restaurant, STAFFeasy can help law enforcement agencies manage these special and non-standard events. Using STAFFeasy, simply post the event on the STAFFeasy calendar and let your staff members sign up to work the event. Then, let STAFFeasy’s rule engine selects the appropriate officers based on seniority, availability, qualifications, last time worked, etc. As your officers review their own personal STAFFeasy calendar, they will see that they have been selected and then will be notified by e-mail and/or pager.
