Summary: Scheduling Made Easy!
Review: I have over 100 employees and have to schedule 4 hour to 12 hour shifts and was looking for software that would make scheduling easy. This software was the solution I picked and it has made things much easier. My staff does not have any confusion as to when they are to work or where they are suppose to be when they are at work. I can print out clean professional looking schedules including individual, group or schedule by department/location.VSS PRO also has a neat feature called Coverage Total which tells me how many people I am over or under-staffed. At a glance I can tell who I have available when I need to find a replacement. I am no longer asked for if there is vacation time available and why vacation is denied because VSS PRO will calculate the number of staff I have scheduled on vacation on any given day or shift. The reporting options are great! Everything I put in the schedule I can get out through a report, whether it is a note, a shift or why they are not at work. I like the detail the query function gives me as it lets me have the information on the reports that I need for our company. Another report I have found very helpful is the estimated cost report which allows me to budget or estimate cost for a given time frame. I was also very impressed with the customer service I received when I called with questions. My questions were answered promptly and I even got to talk to a live body without having to be put on hold. The customer service staff were very knowledgeable about the program. If you are looking for scheduling software, check this one out. Its flexible, powerful and easy to use.

Summary: I am SO glad I can shop at Amazon!
Review: If I was left with no other alternative than to pay the outrageous retail price that Atlas Business Solutions is asking for this product, I probably would not be so delighted with it. But the Amazon price makes this a much more attractive package and I am more willing to gloss over some of the features that are lacking.
First of all let me say that I was already familiar with the product, I was upgrading from my archaic Visual Staff Scheduler version 3.0, and so I did not experience the major letdown that some of the other reviewers felt after attempting to use this tool for the very first time. If you are a user of an older version of VSS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you upgrade, you will be pleased with the improvements to the interface and additional reporting tools and queries. If you have never used VSS before, then I highly recommend that you request a copy of the FREE demo disk of VSS PRO v5.0, just to see if it is something that you could benefit from before plunging into the deep end and purchasing a full copy.

Summary: Nothing like I expected! Waste of my money.
Review: It is hard to tell from the information that was on the sales tag what this program is for. It doesn't allow for scheduling of individuals for specific tasks. It's only use is for scheduling shifts. It would probably be valuable for manufacturers with swing shift operations. I was very disappointed.

Summary: Visual Staff Scheduler
Review: This program installed easy and was quick to get up and running. The layout of the screens is easy to follow and the schedules you can print look great. I have had this program now for a couple of months and cannot believe that I once scheduled all of the employees by hand. I think Visual Staff Scheduler is a must for anyone that schedules employees.

Summary: Scheduling Made Easy!
Review: This scheduling product is very easy to use and is well suited for scheduling medical staff. I often find computer programs unnecessarily difficult to use but this program is very easy to use. It is one of the few programs that I have been able to use successfully. It has helped me keep my schedules up to date and I now have all my scheduling information in one place. It has also enabled us to schedule further in advance. Overall it is an excellent program and I recommend it to others scheduling medical staff.

Summary: Cut my scheduling time in half!
Review: Visual Staff Scheduler helped me cut my scheduling time in half. I can create any kind of staff schedule for my employees and it allows me to e-mail schedules using my own e-mail account. I can also enter my staffing requirements into the program and it will tell me if I'm understaffed or overstaffed. I would recommend this program to anyone that would like to cut down on the time spent scheduling.

Summary: A very lacking product
Review: Visual Staff Scheduler is designed for businesses with very few people who work standard, 8 hour shifts. Unlike other scheduling programs, VSS PRO does not allow users to enter employee availability. As a result, each employee's shift must be entered manually, which makes this program a small step above using paper and pencil. If you schedule more than a dozen people or use unusual shifts, stay far away from this software.
