Project poster

Employee scheduling is a crucial task for most organizations regardless of their size. Currently, the Public Services team at SPL manually prepares the schedules of their employees using Microsoft Excel and Sharepoint. This manual process takes a lot of time and effort to create as well as manage schedules. We conducted research to build a flexible solution providing user-friendly interface and easy customizations. This solution would enable the scheduling team to be agile in creating and changing schedules as per the library branches’ requirements, thus enabling resource optimization and quick decision making.
