How Scheduling and Project Planning Fit into My Daily Work
Scheduling is a critical part of my daily responsibilities. I am actively involved in performing schedule reviews for public sector clients, particularly in dispute resolution and claims services. I also rely on scheduling internally to support company functions such as resource forecasting and staffing management.
Before Using XER Schedule Toolkit
Challenges Faced Before Using the Tool
Before switching to XER Schedule Toolkit, we used Acumen Fuse. One of the biggest challenges was the cost — not only was the software expensive, but the service agreement limited our access to a single user license. This created a bottleneck, as only one staff member could run reports for the entire team, which hindered our efficiency and flexibility.
Limitations of Previous Solutions
Despite its capabilities, Acumen Fuse didn’t scale well for our needs. With multiple schedulers on staff, relying on one user created delays and limited our ability to work efficiently across different projects and clients. We needed a more accessible, cost-effective solution that could be adopted more widely within our organization.
Your Experience with XER Schedule Toolkit
How I First Heard About XER Schedule Toolkit
I discovered XER Schedule Toolkit while researching alternatives to our existing software. I explored several options and ultimately found XER to be the best fit for our operational needs.
Why We Chose XER Schedule Toolkit
The decision was driven by the Toolkit’s powerful comparison tool, which is essential for our work in schedule reviews and dispute resolution. I also appreciated the ability to export reports directly into Excel, allowing for additional data analysis and flexibility in reporting.
Getting Started with XER Schedule Toolkit
My experience getting started with the Toolkit was smooth and intuitive. I was able to trial the software, learn its key features quickly, and make an informed decision based on real usage prior to becoming a client.
What I Like Most About Using XER Schedule Toolkit
I particularly value the exportable reports and spreadsheets. This functionality streamlines the review process, making it easier to analyse data outside of the system and present insights clearly to stakeholders.
The Impact & Results
Specific Improvements Noticed
A major improvement has been the ability to give access to additional team members, which spreads the workload and increases overall efficiency. I now have at least one other scheduler using the system, with plans to onboard more as we expand training.
Time Savings & Efficiency
By decentralising access to the software, we’ve reduced the wait time for report generation and enabled a more agile workflow. This has made our scheduling and review processes faster, more collaborative, and more scalable.
Recommendation
Would I Recommend XER Schedule Toolkit to Others?
Absolutely. XER Schedule Toolkit is a cost-effective, easy-to-learn system that generates high-quality, exportable reports and spreadsheets. It has significantly improved our efficiency and reduced bottlenecks.
Advice for Those Considering XER Schedule Toolkit
If you’re unsure, I recommend giving the software a short trial. In a very brief period, I was able to understand its features, see the benefits firsthand, and confidently make the switch. It’s an investment that quickly proves its value.
Summary
Jason P. Fescemyer, CCM, Chief Operating Officer at Omnipro Services, LLC, transitioned from Acumen Fuse to XER Schedule Toolkit to address the limitations of high cost and restricted access. With XER Toolkit, his team gained broader accessibility, faster schedule reviews, and more efficient dispute resolution processes. The user-friendly interface, powerful comparison tools, and Excel export features have made it easier to manage multiple projects and reduce workload bottlenecks. Jason recommends the Toolkit to others for its affordability, efficiency, and ease of use, encouraging potential users to explore its benefits through a short trial.
