The document discusses an automated staff scheduling software called Bullet Staff Scheduler (BSS) developed by Bullet Solutions. BSS uses algorithms and optimization techniques to generate staff schedules that minimize costs and improve profitability for organizations. It takes into account various factors like employee preferences, workload distribution, scheduling constraints, and forecasted demand to create efficient schedules. The software aims to reduce errors in planning and improve employee motivation and customer service quality for its users.

2. Automatic and Optimized Staff Scheduling Generator
Bullet Staff Scheduler (BSS), developed by Bullet Solutions, specialist in operations research and in combinatorial
optimization, is a software whose main function is to automatically optimize the allocation of the employees in your
Organization.
It was conceived as an operational tool, yet strategically important, and is based on a decision support system that
will allow you to make the most of your resources. This allows improved predictions on the working needs of your
Organization, through the different periods of affluence.
It still allows a more efficient control of schedules, changes and absences of employees, proposing, in real time, an
alternative to the resolution of these unexpected issues.
The integration of powerful automatic and intelligent algorithms will allow a significant reduction in operating costs
as well as significant improvements in the planning quality, which will be translated into higher rates of profitability
for your Organization.
The intelligent calculation engines are the distinguishing feature of this software. Its ability to manage all the variables
and constraints integrated in the system and subsequently returning an optimized planning solution, makes the
implementation of this management tool essential.
In addition to the expected impacts in terms of profitability, the use of this software will directly impact on the motiva-tion
of the employees and, therefore, in the quality of customer service.
BSS is prepared for an easy integration with different sectors of activity, which will allow bringing a new dynamic
efficiency and saving costs to your Organization.

3. Forecast of resource working needs
Based on a strong component of forecasting needs, staff allocation is managed according to the
anticipated demand for the different times of day, days of the week and months of the year, starting
from any historical data available.
Automatic and optimized scheduling generation
Respecting a set of internal constraints of the Organization, legal rules and objectives, the working
schedules are generated taking into account a number of factors such as: the maximum number of
consecutive working days; a balanced distribution of the workload; preferences in the schedules of
the employees; among many others.
Intelligent manual editing
Allows manual adjustments guided by an intelligent decision support system. The application pro-vides
information regarding the desired changes, returning feasible solutions in order to ensure an
optimized management of your Organization.
Daily monitoring of scheduling execution
Facilitates the daily monitoring of the schedules execution, enabling to perform necessary day to
day changes, such as exchanges between employees, marking absences, replacements or generate
schedules for possible new employees in the team.
Integrated communication
Includes an internal communication system which ensures that the information reaches each recipi-ent
and that no changes go unnoticed for both managers and employees.
Reduction of errors in planning
Reduction of errors in planning that leads to a lack or an excess of employees and represent signifi-cant
operational and opportunity costs.
