Case Study: Genesee District Library achieves faster, fairer staff scheduling with Celayix Software

Genesee District Library Simplifies Scheduling with Auto-fill

Genesee District Library, a 19-branch system in Genesee County, Michigan with more than 150 employees, was struggling to create weekly staff schedules manually using three Excel spreadsheets while juggling union rules, branch coverage, floating staff and individual preferences. The manual process was time-consuming, error-prone (risking double-bookings and uncovered branches) and couldn’t scale, so the library turned to Celayix Software for a better workforce management solution—implementing Celayix Web Xpress and eTime Xpress.

Celayix Software configured business rules, provided consultant-led implementation and enabled employee self-service plus an auto-fill and visual scheduler that balances qualifications, availability and branch needs. The result: posting a schedule now takes only a couple of hours a week, errors and double-bookings have been reduced, managers can reassign about 30 floating staff quickly, and employee morale has improved because preferences are considered—demonstrating clear time savings and more reliable coverage thanks to Celayix Software.
