Before the platform, the staffing and scheduling team depended heavily on Excel sheets to manage:
- Candidate and doctor data: Availability, skills, locations, and preferences.
- Scheduling logistics: Candidates and doctors scheduling against client requirements.
- Shift management: Client requirements, shift patterns, and last-minute changes.
- Manual matching: Matching candidates to shifts with constant back-and-forth edits on shared spreadsheets.
This approach was:
- Error-prone: Multiple versions of the same sheet and no single source of truth.
- Slow: Schedulers had to filter, sort, and cross-check data manually for every booking.
- Difficult to scale: Hard to manage when the number of candidates, doctors, and clients increased.
