Case Study: Minnesota Department of Corrections achieves faster, more accurate scheduling with Aladtec

How the Minnesota Department of Corrections Simplified Scheduling Across Nine Facilities with Aladtec

The Minnesota Department of Corrections needed a faster, more adaptable scheduling system to manage 331 officer positions across nine facilities with complex rotations, vacation requests, and shift exchanges. Their previous platform struggled to build schedules at all in some cases, forcing hours of manual work and workarounds. They turned to Aladtec for a simpler employee scheduling solution built for public safety and correctional operations.

Aladtec implemented a flexible scheduling platform tailored to the MN DOC’s varied staffing models, with support during rollout and real-time configuration adjustments. The results were immediate: vacation approvals dropped from up to three hours a week to under 30 minutes, autofill went from overnight to under five minutes, and creating a pay period schedule was reduced from multiple days to 30–60 minutes. Aladtec also improved accuracy, visibility, and collaboration across facilities.
