SmartRoster has revolutionised the process of scheduling people for churches and many other types of organization.
SmartRoster was made for Churches, and is being used in a dozen different Countries, by all major Christian denominations. Churches have complex scheduling needs that were previously poorly addressed. Finally church administrators have a tool capable of Juggling the complex demands of managing tens to thousands of individual volunteers in tens to hundreds of interrelated tasks, and in many different daily, weekly or adhoc activities.
