Guide to Planning and Scheduling Software

Find affordable, functional software to keep your business on track
By Toni Klym McLellan

As businesses grow, they also outgrow desktop calendars and dry-erase boards. This is particularly true if you or your staff frequently work off site. Whether you need to touch base occasionally or frequently, good planning and scheduling software centralizes the "where" and "when" components of doing business.

Good planning and scheduling software enables you to:

  1. Plan and forecast business developments and growth
  2. Schedule appointments for yourself and staff
  3. Set calendar reminders of important appointments and events
  4. Coordinate multiple schedules among employees


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

For entrepreneurs with or without employees A few simple programs can run almost your entire business.

I recommend:  ACT! Contact management software (available for single users or corporate workgroups) and e-mail and calendar tool Microsoft Outlook remain the juggernauts of small business planning and scheduling. Check out SJR Productions' ACT! Add-on Store, featuring an advanced scheduling system add-on to the software. The GroupReady Web site offers a free trial of its office-wide time management and scheduling software.

Industry-specific software Get your particular needs met with software designed for your niche.

I recommend:  Landscaping businesses use Gopher billing and scheduling software. Construction companies use VirtualBoss. Businesses that frequently schedule customer appointments will value Web-based AppointmentQuest scheduling software. Or search through software by industry on the DMOZ site.

Read reviews and decide where to shop There's ample help finding reputable, user-friendly products through unbiased product reviews. Once you've settled upon the best product for your company, do a price comparison and choose a retailer with fast shipping and a solid return policy.

I recommend:  See reviews from PC Magazine. When you're ready to buy, search Yahoo! Shopping for either planning or scheduling software and find price comparisons and reviews of retailers. Major retailers such as CompUSA, OfficeMax, and Best Buy sell software both online and brick-and-mortar style.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Talk to colleagues and competitors to learn what software works for them and ask for recommended retailers.
  • Many retailers offer sales tied to specific events like 'back to school,' Father's Day, or holiday giving; check fliers for deals around these times.
  • If the software you like best lacks a key feature, such as the ability to download to your PDA, call the manufacturer and ask if any software 'plug-ins' or downloads exist.
  • Check manufacturers' Web sites for coupons and special discounts.
  • Sign up for email updates from your software company to keep abreast of upgrades and special offers sent only to existing customers.
  • Ask retailers if they'll match or beat competitors' pricing or honor their coupons.

Business Size (Employees)
Close  
Your choices for planning software by business size (number of employees) include small business (0-100), mid-sized business (101-2500) and enterprise business (more than 2500).
  • If you have a small business (0-100), look for small business scheduling software that tracks attendance or schedules work or service calls.
  • A mid-sized business (101-2500) needs more robust business scheduling software and can use planning software to collaborate on strategy or project workflow.
  • Once your needs cross over into enterprise business (more than 2500), business scheduling software can be vital to communicating major initiatives and forecasting sales and productivity.
Applications
Close  
Your choices include appointment management, employee time tracking, project management, and task management.
  • Appointment scheduling software is very good for appointment management -- keeping a calendar and setting up meetings and events within your company or with external parties.
  • Clocking in and out is now done completely electronically, and employee time tracking software coordinates it all.
  • A project management planning tool for project workflow is usually deadline-date oriented and thus a good use of planning software.
  • Day to day, use planning software for task management (like a to-do list) to keep on top of short-term goals.
Type
Close  
Your choices include web based, desktop and mobile options.
  • Web-based software allows the deployment of complex applications without having to buy a server or the actual software upfront. Such an online planning and scheduling system can be software-as-a-service (SaaS) from an application-service provider (ASP), which are variations of the idea of on-demand or utility computing.
  • Larger businesses with investments in servers would likely buy desktop software versions of scheduling systems, which come pre-packaged on a disk to install and control locally.
  • Increasingly, an important feature of planning software is its ability to be manipulated on a mobile device, be it a handheld computer or mobile phone.
Features
Close  
Your choices include collaboration, remote access and multiple licenses and may include a demo available.
  • Depending on the software, collaboration -- the ability to adjust and plan in the context of dozens of others -- has become a strong new feature set.
  • For employees on the road, PC remote access software is absolutely essential when considering planning and scheduling software. The ability to log on from a laptop while traveling keeps distant people in touch.
  • Software is normally sold in terms of "seats" or number of registered users with copies. Multiple licenses allow more than one person to use the same copy of planning and scheduling software programs.
  • It's important to ask if there is a demo available of scheduling programs to test their usefulness and compatibility with your systems. Demonstration licenses are free and typically last for 30 to 60 days.
