"If anyone is looking for a scheduling tool, this is it. We adopted it company wide in January and love the product. It is easy to use and very user friendly. I now have visibility into every facility schedule and where every CRNA is in our system with one or two simple clicks and most importantly, I can see the open shift needs that we have and run reports on locum agency use etc. Very nice product for large or small groups!"
