Attempting to manage all of your people, events, and facilities in one calendar is madness.
Churches simply have too many people, events, facilities, and changes to coordinate for one calendar. ACS Facility Scheduler is a hosted, centralized scheduling tool designed specifically to expand and meet the multiple needs of organizations and their facilities. With this scheduling solution, you can create and distribute custom calendars to your members and staff so that rooms and resources are never double-booked. And since Facility Scheduler is a Web-based application, you can access it from anywhere at any time.
With its unique workflow security and even more user-friendly interface, Facility Scheduler is the optimum choice for your organization. It is the latest hosted solution, so your program is always up to date and your data is always secure.
- View one calendar or any combination of calendars with few clicks
- Quickly check the daily, weekly, or monthly availability of meeting rooms, people, or equipment
- Arrange meetings, reserve rooms, and book equipment and resources without causing conflicts
- Create complex recurring events (e.g. finance committee that meets every second Tuesday or VBS that runs five consecutive days)
- Schedule multiple locations per event
- Broadcast schedules and announcements on screens throughout your church
- Integrate information with Microsoft Outlook
Easy Entering of System Options and Events
ACS Facility Scheduler includes many built-in features that enable you to avoid double booking of rooms, people, or equipment. Some of these are the ability to:
- Enter events as pending or approved with the ability to confirm them later.
- Cancel events and keep information in the system for reference.
- Enter recurring events or events that span multiple days.
- Book resources and extra setup or teardown time.
- Enter separate rooms and then combine them to be booked as one resource. For example, you may have a multi-purpose room that can be divided and scheduled as four smaller rooms.
Accessible Anytime, Anywhere
Facility Scheduler is a hosted solution, meaning there are no program CDs to keep up with. You just install the application, and it’s maintained and updated for you by ACS Technologies. In addition, you’ll have:
- Regular, current backups of your data in case of emergency.
