Custom SaaS-Based Shift Booking Management System
Timeline: 8 Months| Country: United Kingdom
Project Brief
The Shift Booking Management System for the Healthcare Industry is a comprehensive SaaS-based platform designed to simplify and automate the process of managing healthcare professionals’ schedules and payments. The solution empowers healthcare organizations to efficiently track candidate details, compliance records, booking histories, and payment statuses, all from one centralized, cloud-based application.
This multi-tenant platform is built to support hospitals, clinics, and staffing agencies handling large volumes of shift requests daily. It leverages an intelligent matching algorithm that automatically suggests the most suitable candidates (doctors or nurses) for open shifts based on their availability, qualifications, and past performance ratings. With seamless integration into the client’s Office 365 ecosystem and PayPal for secure payments, this solution streamlines operations while ensuring high transparency and reduced manual effort for administrators.

Challenges
- Manual Scheduling Inefficiencies – The existing process required manual intervention at every stage, leading to delays, errors, and double bookings.
- Compliance Tracking – Ensuring that every candidate met required certifications, licenses, and regulations before confirming bookings was time-consuming and error-prone.
- Data Overload – Handling hundreds of candidate profiles and their historical booking records without a centralized system led to inconsistencies and data duplication.
- Fair Candidate Matching – Without a technology-driven approach, assigning shifts to the most suitable candidates was subjective, often causing disputes and inefficiencies.
- Multi-location Access Control – The organization needed a way to provide role-based access for branch managers, admins, and finance teams while keeping sensitive data secure.
- Payment Processing – Lack of an integrated payment solution resulted in delayed or manual payments, creating administrative burden and dissatisfaction among candidates.
