FARGO, ND – March 29, 2010

–Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. (ABS), a leading provider of business software solutions, today announced the release of version 14 of Visual Staff Scheduler Pro (VSS Pro). VSS Pro is the top-selling, PC-based employee scheduling software from Atlas Business Solutions. VSS Pro was first released over 15 years ago. Throughout the years it’s developed into a robust tool for assigning shifts, making sure the correct number of people are scheduled to work at all times, and tracking time off for vacation and sick days. It’s used by organizations that require round-the-clock staffing, such as hospitals, nursing homes, jails, and other law enforcement agencies, and by businesses whose staff work variable shifts, such as transportation companies, manufacturers, and distributors.

“Visual Staff Scheduler was one of our first software programs and now has over 70,000 people relying on it to create shift schedules for their workplace,” said Jon Forknell, vice president and general manager of Atlas Business Solutions. “It’s been exhilarating to see the progression over the years. This year we’ve added new ways to see the schedule and coverage totals, as well as single out special notes and important information.”

What’s new in Visual Staff Scheduler Pro 14

The new Day Watch View on the bottom of VSS Pro’s screen displays how many people are scheduled hourly throughout the day. The ability to hide coverage totals on the bottom of the screen has been added to give users more space on their computer screen to see the scheduling worksheet. Now users can add notes to their schedule file which will alert other managers to information they need to know. A new import feature allows schedulers to add multiple employees directly to a schedule file. Five more highlighters have been added to help users draw attention to special information. VSS Pro 14 is guaranteed to work with Windows 7.
