The very nature of workforce scheduling challenges in the Emergency Services sector demands the utmost efficiency when it comes to managing shift planning and scheduling among the agencies that ensure public safety.

While some Emergency Service organizations focus exclusively on certain types of emergencies, others deal with ad hoc emergencies as part of their normal work responsibilities.
