Lightning Bolt puts you in control
Lightning Bolt uses combinatorial optimization to automatically create schedules that include individual preferences and organizational needs.
You can set up custom rules to consider time-off requests, shift swaps, recovery time, equitable shift distribution, meetings, and more.
Forget the spreadsheet headaches. Making updates is quick and simple for admins to do without the time-suck or conflicts, and everyone has instant access to the live updates.
Swapping shifts or getting covered at the last minute doesn’t result in chaos. Just a few clicks, and the gaps are filled.
FAQs
What is the difference between Lightning Bolt and other scheduling tools?
While other digital solutions have automated workflows and require manual tuning, Lightning Bolt uses combinatorial optimization to evaluate every possible permutation to find the mathematically optimal schedule under all constraints. This technology allows Lightning Bolt to create fair schedules in minutes, saving customers more time and effort, while also protecting staff from burnout.
Can I transfer my current information from different software to PerfectServe Lightning Bolt Scheduling?
Yes. Lightning Bolt supports migration of schedules, staff data, rules, and preferences from other scheduling platforms with minimal disruption.
How does Lightning Bolt use artificial intelligence (AI), and how does this differentiate it from other products on the market?
Lightning Bolt uses advanced optimization algorithms and AI-driven decision engines to generate fair, constraint-aware schedules automatically.
Can I get my schedule on my iPhone/iPad/Android device?
Yes. Lightning Bolt schedules are accessible on iOS and Android devices for easy viewing and updates on the go.
You deserve a platform built for the complex reality of healthcare scheduling.
