Case Study: Bluffton Police Department achieves 20% reduction in overtime costs and an 83% reduction in scheduling time with InTime

How Do They Manage 300 Special Events Assignments a Year

Bluffton Police Department in South Carolina faced major scheduling challenges: managing over 300 extra-duty/special-event assignments a year, soaring overtime costs (as much as 20% over budget), and slow, error-prone paper-based processes that delayed payroll and policy compliance. To address these issues they adopted InTime’s scheduling and workforce-management solution.

InTime centralized extra-duty and day-to-day scheduling, added advanced reporting, overtime notifications, and automated queries to assign staff by least-overtime and other compliance rules, preventing double bookings and better managing fatigue. As a result, Bluffton Police Department now handles 300+ extra-duty assignments smoothly, cut overtime costs by over 20%, and reduced time spent scheduling by 83%.
