Georgetown Police Department (MA) Reduces Personnel Scheduling Demands by 30% After Implementing Aladtec
July 16, 2015 - Boston, MA - Public Safety Agencies often work within tight budget constraints, yet they must keep up with technological advances to assure their departments run as efficiently and as effectively as possible. It’s a win-win for agencies when they find a software solution which not only provides these advancements, but is also affordable.
“Previously we used a spreadsheet and paper for scheduling staff. Other administrative procedures were done manually as well. Since implementing Aladtec for our workforce management needs, we have virtually eliminated all mistakes in scheduling and double booking of our personnel. I took a look at several companies but Aladtec was extremely affordable and much more engaging for our needs,” explains Donald C. Cudmore, Chief of Police, Georgetown Police Department, Georgetown, MA. “A municipal government operation of our size consistently wrestles with funding. Having the ability to change or reduce our services without a long term contract was very attractive.”
Aladtec specializes in assisting organizations with complex scheduling requirements. In addition, the system offers a wide range of workforce management tools which automates error-prone mundane tasks.
Aladtec benefits include:
· Tracking Licensing and Certifications: Automated reminders for approaching expiration dates or needed licensing.

“It has reduced our scheduling demands by at least 30% on average, not to mention all the time saved on other workforce management tasks. I am very pleased with this product - and the customer service is outstanding. Aladtec absolutely beats the competition,” concludes Chief Cudmore.
