Energy, Oil, and Gas Crew Scheduling Software

Snap Schedule crew scheduling software lets you effortlessly schedule the right number of workers with the right skills to the right shifts, locations and work sites. It is the easiest way for energy, oil, and gas companies to transform time-consuming, manual ways of shift scheduling into effortless workforce management.

Crew scheduling presents many challenges for oil, gas, and energy companies. Plants and refineries operate 24/7 and have unique processes and complex rules for on-call, overtime, call outs, shift bidding, and fatigue management. There are many positions to schedule and multiple shifts to cover. Within each shift, staff must also be assigned to various tasks. Further, union and FLSA rules may place restrictions on work hours, overtime compensation, and the types of shift rotation that can be implemented. The schedulers must also consider time-off requests, minimum rest rules, and worker availability when developing schedules for oil, gas, and energy companies.

Snap Schedule cloud-based crew scheduling software is designed to help refineries, pipelines, control rooms, and petrochemical plants overcome these scheduling challenges. Its automated shift call-out and notification features let you accurately and quickly find and contact the right employees to fill open shifts, to meet emergent work demands, or to restore services. Snap Schedule is packed with powerful shift scheduling features and gives you instant access to key decision-making criteria, including staffing requirements, regular, overtime and on-call hours, labor costs, employee skills and certifications, employee availability and preferences, and more.
