Project Title:
Timetraxx

Project Description:

Timetraxx is an online application for use by managers and other event and operational planners to help with the task of managing schedules such as work shifts that would alleviate the daunting task of complex input and dynamic administration.

Project Target:

Managers of large companies with many workers and dynamic shifts

ex.

Fast Food restaurants

Retailers such as Walmart

Movie Theatres

Differentiation:

The online application would allow easy input of scheduling requirements from many terminals and by many individuals, and would allow for real-time notifications of changes to all concerned, as well as the ability to check schedules from many mobile devices. We could differentiate ourselves by not charging a per-employee rate, and having easier-to-use user interfaces. Once a company is in our databases, it should not require much cost to add an employee to the system, and would alleviate the need to have pricing increase with number of employees.

Competition:

ShiftPlanning

MindBodyOnline

ShiftPlanning targets managers of firms with dynamic scheduling, as we would. They make money by charging a rate based on the number of employees that the system is set up to handle, and market themselves as an easy online solution to scheduling.

MindBody is a tailor-made business management and scheduling application which targets similar markets as Timetraxx and ShiftPlanning. They provide four separate packages based on number of employees, and differentiate themselves by the custom-made business managing tools for each subscriber.
