Amazing staff planning – at the SCL Tigers and at the Zoo in Zurich

We’re very proud to introduce two new customers who couldn’t be more different from one another.

The Hockey Club SCL Tigers has been working with Event Commander since June 1. 2014. The goal of this launch was to ensure efficient planning with temporary staff and accounting management of the many employees who help to ensure a solid service for the fans during a game.

The Zoo Restaurants GmbH provides the culinary all-round support in the Zürich Zoo and in the related companies. To fulfill this purpose, a team of temporary staff is employed. Staff planning happens real time with Event Commander. As well as to keep track of all relevant details of labor assignments. A very well designed project management helps the planners to keep the overview.

At first glance, these two customers are far from having anything in common, except probably their affinity for wildlife. 

Why exactly online staff planning?

Example of a Teamsheet

Event Commander was developed for the scheduling of flexible, temporary and part- time employees. If you are running a company with mainly part- time employees (staff on call for hourly wages), you’re probably facing fairly high coordination costs. On one hand you’ll have to identify the needs for every single event, check which employees are experienced enough and find out whether they’re also available or not. On the other hand, your employees will need to be able to notify you whether they’re available or not. Once you’ve collected and prepared all necessary information needed for a definitive scheduling, all of the intended staff must be informed about their schedule/working hours.

High Administration costs join these high coordination costs, because at the end of the month all employees wish to be paid properly. As you can see, the problems explained above, are a challenge for your administration, your project management and your accounting. We at Event Commander believe that there’s only one way to efficiently plan these temporary workers and part time employees in a satisfying matter:

The entire planning must be done online!

That’s the only way all employees participating in the operation can always access the information they need.
As an online solution Event Commander is designed to control the flow of information between all stakeholders while improving its efficiency. Part- time employees are directly involved in the planning process. The magic word is networking; in our time, only the internet ca provide such a connectivity.

Two pioneers from Zürich opt for an Online-pioneer

Hiltl Restaurant in Zurich

We’re glad to introduce two new customers - both pioneers in their specific field. 

The world’s oldest vegetarian restaurant has its roots in Zurich. The Hiltl has been offering its guests vegetarian meals since 1897. In the last few years, the company grew in different areas. New locations were opened or acquired. In addition, the need for staff in the area of event catering grew substantially. Since February 1, Event Commander is being used by Hiltl, to cope with the increased planning efforts needed to manage bigger numbers of staff members. 

The Openair Cinema in Zurich

What could be better than to spend a cozy movie night on the bank of a lake. 26 years ago the first open-air cinema in the world took place at the lake shore in Zurich. The world owes this pioneering achievement to Cinerent and its founder Peter Hürlimann. Today the giant movie screens are being shipped all over the world including Brazil, Australia and Japan. Over the years the open air cinemas have become increasingly popular and are now held in Basel, Bern and Zurich. During several weeks countless staff will be satisfying the appetite of visitors or building the huge grandstands and screens on and off again. To minimize planning efforts, Cinerent opted for Event Commander.

It has been eight years, that  Event Commander was launched as a web-based staff planning tool. That was a pretty pioneering act at that time. We are pleased that two pioneers in their specific business are keen to be working with the pioneer in web-based staff planning.

Well recognized in Vienna

Vienna is home to the emperors, the “Sache-Torte” and for almost three year to Event Commander too.

We’re proud to announce that, after “Die Agentur”,”Stargate Group” and “Easystaff” we were able to acquire further Viennese Companies, which started working with Event Commander to boost their productivity in the field of promotions.

Even prominent Viennese caterer “Lux & Lauris” is successfully working with Europe’s most advanced staff planning system for staff on demand.
