Oncall Scheduling | smarter than the round-robin list and spreadsheet

"oncallscheduler.com has freed me from the toil of scheduling the call rotation, so I can spend more time on the things that really matter. It integrated perfectly with our paging system and was super easy to set up. I can't imagine going back to manual scheduling."

"At Microsoft I used a prototype of TimeWeSp's Oncall Scheduler. It freed me from having to manage the oncalls schedule. It gave the power to the users and I never had to worry about who was going to be on call for Christmas."

"We had a complex shift pattern that was not supported by any other scheduling tool we could find. oncallscheduler.com was not only able to accommodate this pattern, but also offered unrivaled support in getting this set up for us."

Fully automated, taking a weight off your shoulders and a chore off your list

Automate away all the scheduling work and manual decision making. The system runs itself, so you can focus on other things. No more spreadsheets required. Your team will stop suffering from the unpredictable schedule changes that come with PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or other limited scheduling automation.
Oncall engineers can choose to regularly engage with the scheduling system to enter scheduling preferences, or simply set a few preferences once, and let the system just schedule them accordingly into the future.

Predictable for work and life

Enable engineers to fit in oncall work with living full lives outside work, by ensuring the oncall schedule is always set far in advance. Save yourself from having to resolve conflicts between oncall scheduling and vacations or life events like birthdays or weddings. You’ll never risk having the schedule set only a few months into the future because someone forgot. If holes open up in the planned schedule, for example if a member leaves the team, those schedule holes are quickly resolved in a way which gives employees control, without changing everybody's schedules unpredictably.

Each person controls their Schedule

Engineers can select shifts to work, and enter preferences for which dates or holidays they prefer not to work. This is taken into account not only to avoid scheduling people when they don’t want to work, but also to figure out which work shifts are less desirable. Those who work less desirable shifts are rewarded by working fewer shifts.

Shift assignment is fair and transparent

The scheduling makes everybody involved feel good about the fairness of who works when, since all shift assignments are done based on simple documented algorithms. Everybody can see a complete scheduling activity log to understand why shift were assigned as they were, and how rewards balance between working normal shifts vs. less desirable shifts. Engineers enter their scheduling preferences. Those who take on less desirable shifts are fairly rewarded by working fewer shifts.

The schedule syncs everywhere you need it

Oncall Scheduler syncs the schedules it creates, where they are needed. They go into engineer's calendars as email meeting invitations, so nobody forgets when they are oncall and will realize if there are conflicts. They go into the alerting system you use for oncalls to receive notifications about incidents: PagerDuty, Atlassian Opsgenie, and Grafana Oncall. You can easily write schedule sync integration with other alerting systems, or shared team calendars, using the Oncall Scheduler REST API. Do you use another alerting system which you would like us to add scheduling sync for? Please let us know.
