A great schedule program
It is a great schedule program. Once you figure out how to set up everything, it is easy to work in. Would love to see a place to put in DOB. This would be beneficial in helping to remember birthdays for employees. The ability to just drag n drop or reassign a shift to someone different without having to create a new shift. Like the ability to print time cards and figure the estimate cost occurred with each employee monthly.

I can build a year's schedule with 40 employees in under an hour
The team at Hero Scheduling has always responded quickly to any issues that we have come across, which have been minimal. Our specific schedule allows deputies to request two different options for overtime, five different options for time off, special details, paid leave, and shift trades. It was put together and ready to use much faster than I would have ever thought. I can build a year's schedule with 40 employees in under an hour. One of my favorite features is the minimum staffing alerts. With units trading shift, requesting time off, and moving within divisions, this feature makes sure my road patrol is always staffed. Hero Schedule is very easy to use and implement, and my office is completely paperless now when it comes to personnel and scheduling matters. Everything that we need is on Hero Schedule. I have used other scheduling programs in the past, and none are as easy to use and have all the features that Hero has. 100% satisfied.

This program and the staff at Hero Schedule are absolutely amazing
When I was first appointed as the Chief of Police, they utilized paper schedules that the officers filled out on their own daily and kept in a binder. The last department that I worked at utilized a scheduling app, but I knew it was very costly. I searched the internet and found multiple scheduling applications. I reached out to Hero Schedule and talked to an actual live person, and we discussed the needs of my department and how they could assist me. They were nothing short of amazing. They started the process by asking me to send them a list of my officers and the schedule that we were currently working. They put everything in place into their system and then they asked for my contract so that all of the holidays could be paid appropriately. They also asked for the time off accrual balances and how time off was accrued. That is all automatically done now when an officer requests to take a day off. When I have to process payroll every other week, it literally takes me under 10 minutes. This program and the staff at Hero Schedule are absolutely amazing, and I would highly, highly recommend giving them an opportunity to assist you if you are in need of a scheduling program for your department.

For the price of the software, it can't be beat
My department went from an Excel spreadsheet that had to be updated numerous times a day to instant easy access which allowed us to save paper and time. The communication process has changed dramatically for the better. For the price of the software, it can't be beat. I like the features of shift swaps and the different colorization of the individual boxes. Everything is easy to use besides setting up the original schedule for the year. It saves at least 3 hours a week.

I would recommend this software based on the customer support alone
We went from an antiquated spreadsheet system to Hero Schedule which was very well received by the team. This allowed them instant access to their schedule 24/7/365, so they could preview time off ideas from afar versus having to wait until they were in the building to look at the spreadsheet. In addition, the built-in overtime report is an excellent tool that I have included in my Chief’s monthly report. There are so many great functions with this software I highly recommend it for the price you cannot beat it.
It is very easy to use and any time we have had any questions or needed support Hero Schedule has always promptly assisted us. I would recommend this software based on the customer support alone which is outstanding.

This system saves our agency over 5 hours a month
We used to spend hours making schedules for a 6 man agency. Now, I spend less than 30 minutes compiling our schedules and sending them out. Our agency loves the tracking ability for requesting days off and also swapping shifts. Administration loves the ability to print reports for accounting purposes and the time sheet tracking ability. This system is extremely easy to use. Once you get your initial training, and a couple follow-up questions, this system has become a piece of cake to use. I would say this system saves our agency over 5 hours a month.

Very efficient way for me to keep track of each officer’s schedule
Hero Schedule has proved to be a very valuable tool for my department. I am able to see on one page the schedule for each officer in the department and the officers are grouped according to their assigned shift and unit. This allows me to easily identify gaps in shift coverage and reassign officers to other shifts when needed. It is very easy to set up schedules for an extended time period. Hero Schedule is a very efficient way for me to keep track of each officer’s schedule including hours worked, training, time off, military leave, etc. Hero Schedule also has outstanding customer service. I would definitely recommend Hero Schedule to any department looking for a scheduling program that is easy to use, efficient, and reasonably priced.
