CHICAGO, Illinois– The Ultra-Staff EDGE Medical Scheduling Module, developed by Automated Business Designs, has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award for Best Employee Scheduling Solution in the seventh annual Stevie Awards for Great Employers.

The Stevie Awards for Great Employers recognize the world’s best employers and the human resources professionals, teams, achievements and HR-related products and suppliers who help to create and drive great places to work. Winners of the awards, named the Stevies from the Greek word meaning “crowned,” were recognized during a gala awards dinner on Saturday, September 17 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

The Ultra-Staff EDGE Scheduling Module received Gold in the Employee Scheduling Solution category. The Ultra-Staff EDGE Scheduling Module is a web-based SaaS healthcare staffing software solution designed exclusively for medical staffing companies to help staff medical professionals quickly and efficiently. The newest version of the staffing scheduling solution was nominated which includes advanced search and communication tools, the ability to email staffing schedules to both facilities and professionals, and the Pay Package Calculator. Customer testimonials were also provided in the application to demonstrate success stories using these tools.
