“We’ve used Schedule Express for several years in the Seattle 911 center. The SE team has been exceptional in their willingness to work with us through our complicated work patterns and overtime rules. Their product has created a super easy to use platform for our employees and supervisors. Using Schedule Express has massively reduced time spent on scheduling by supervisors, which has resulted in a surplus of time to mentor and develop their teams. The mobile app is very popular with our staff to navigate their schedules, sign up for overtime, and see any trades, etc. I highly recommend Schedule Express to anyone interested in elevating your scheduling system to the next level!”
Partnering. Planning. Protecting.
Serving large and small agencies across the US — from rural townships to urban cities.
In public safety, there are never enough resources — time, money, people. Too often, agencies are asked to do more while being given less. For more than 40 years, ScheduleExpress™ has been fueled by a team of individuals who share a passion to improve the lives of first responders. We know the job is hard. And ill-fitted tools shouldn’t make it harder. That’s why we created Schedule Express. But we also know you can’t take our word for it. So here are just a few success stories from the people who know us best: Our clients.
“From our first introduction to Schedule Express and the staff at Safe Cities, our team was impressed with the ease of scheduling our staff. The professional support and training was some of the best our team has experienced on a software implementation that had to solve contract issues, policy issues and the usual issues of sick call outs, trade shifts and training. Schedule Express has been a dream for our organization. Scheduling up to 40 staff in a 24/7 facility tracking all the things has become easy. There was no issue that ScheduleExpress was unable to program, change, update or fix during our implementation and their follow up support is only a phone call away. We cannot recommend this solution enough and are happy to share our experience with any agency looking to solve scheduling.”

White Papers
The True Cost of Free
One of the greatest opportunities to make the most significant impact in public safety operations lies with tools and procedures that are perceived to be free, but are often the most expensive of all. The data presented in this white paper comes from public safety agencies across the country who reported their results after transitioning to Schedule Express from their previous manual solutions.
The Impact of Automated Scheduling
In all five agencies, the implementation of Schedule Express yielded an average time savings of 87% based on annual hours, and an average financial savings of 70.2% based on annual cost of labor. This condensed white paper highlights how the recovery of these costs, and the subsequent recovery of hours, represented the greatest opportunity to add to agency resources and effectively gain additional budget and employee headcount by making only a few high-impact adjustments.
