The transportation industry is driven by schedules. Accurate arrival and departure times are critical to customer satisfaction. In order to maintain punctuality, transportation companies must effectively schedule their employees. Whether working for airlines, trains, buses, limousines, taxis, managers must ensure that drivers, pilots, and attendants are efficiently scheduled and ready to go.

Most transportation businesses have a variety of job positions to schedule and shifts to cover. Businesses that have peak hours and high seasons allocate employees proportionally by the hour of the day and/or rotate employees to ensure an even spread of shifts for each employee. Union and FLSA rules may place restrictions on work hours, overtime compensation, and the types of work schedules that can be implemented. Schedulers must also consider time-off requests, labor rules, and personnel availability when developing schedules for full-time and part-time employees. Staffing too many service employees needlessly drives up costs and staffing too few at peak times causes service level to suffer. Snap Schedule employee scheduling software helps schedule the right number of employees when they are needed, while complying with constraints on their availability, work hour limits, and labor costs.
