Project Overview

Expanding staff scheduling to compliance-ready workforce optimization

SchedulePop is a versatile online scheduling platform that helps businesses of all sizes create, manage, and communicate schedules with ease. It simplifies labor management and helps businesses improve operations, reduce costs, and improve employee satisfaction.

While initially focused on the hospitality sector, demand grew, and new markets emerged. SchedulePop strategically expanded into healthcare, targeting senior care facilities, like skilled nursing and assisted living, where compliance-driven scheduling and real-time HPPD monitoring are critical. These new markets introduced new layers of product complexity, requiring features tailored to regulatory standards and patient care benchmarks.

When Linnify joined the project, SchedulePop was established in healthcare, but the company’s rapid growth required moving beyond the legacy Angular 1 platform so the company could continue to innovate and meet customer needs. We partnered to rebuild the application from the ground up, providing flexibility and scalability to the codebase and creating an architecture to support future growth.

Industry challenges

Healthcare scheduling demands precision, compliance, and reliability. SchedulePop wanted to ensure its platform could scale easily and could support rapid feature deployment to meet its growing customer base and industry-specific needs.

Goals included:

  • Move beyond an Angular codebase to allow for easier maintenance
  • Further improve the ability to handle large client datasets
  • Simplify integrating new healthcare modules (HPPD, star ratings)
  • Increase flexibility to customize the experience per client

Geographical Focus

Primary target market

SchedulePop’s primary market is the United States, but it supports global customers. Initially focused on hospitaility and retail sectors, SchedulePop expanded into the U.S. healthcare industry, especially nursing facilities across states with strict HPPD and star rating compliance requirements.

Cultural considerations

The healthcare staffing landscape is complex.

  • Regulatory compliance: Each U.S. state has distinct labor and care standards.
  • Liability and oversight: Staffing levels directly influence patient safety ratings.
  • Fluctuating patient volumes: Resident census can change daily, requiring agile scheduling.
  • Data fragmentation: Existing tools were not purpose-built for healthcare, forcing leaders to juggle spreadsheets, manual reports, and disconnected systems.


These complexities meant burnout for schedulers, staffing inefficiencies for administrators, and potential non-compliance for facilities.
The end result? Lost revenue and reduced quality of care.

Problem

Target icon

Client's challenge

With SchedulePop focusing more on the healthcare industry, the platform needed new, more industry-specific features for its clients, including compliance-related ones.


Key goals included:

  • Built-in support for HPPD (Hours Per Patient Per Day) calculations
  • Forecasting staffing needs based on fluctuating patient census
  • Real-time tools for compliance with federal star rating frameworks
  • Unified way to visualize or project workforce gaps

SchedulePop’s platform needed to become more scalable and capable of rapid feature deployment.

  • Efficiently support new modules or handle large datasets.
  • Increase Development speed
  • Modernize the mobile apps and improve back-end scalability 


Meeting these goals would allow SchedulePop to continue its growth trajectory in the senior care industry.

Solution

Proposed solution

Linnify collaborated with the SchedulePop team to rebuild the legacy Angular platform into a modern, modular system designed for long-term sustainability. 

Together, the teams re-engineered and ported all components from the old system to the new application. 

This modernization made the platform faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain. The collaboration continues with the redevelopment of the staff-facing mobile application, which is being redesigned as a responsive, mobile-first experience to better support healthcare professionals in managing their schedules. 

With the new architecture in place, SchedulePop can continue focusing on developing and improving the features customers need - budgeting and forecasting tools, analytics dashboards, and predictive insights for staffing optimization. These advancements enhance the platform’s stability and usability and create opportunities for more data-driven decision-making across healthcare organizations.
