HotSchedules vs OneClick

HotSchedules is the source of truth for who is scheduled and when. OneClick is the source of truth for what they do during the shift, how well they do it, and how they progress. The two answer different questions.

What HotSchedules does that OneClick does not replace

Time and attendance, payroll integration, shift swap requests, manager approvals, federal labor law compliance reporting. HotSchedules is purpose-built for those.

What OneClick does that HotSchedules cannot

Auto Schedule placement based on training ratings, Training Passports, the Operational Intelligence dashboard, mobile Break Manager, the Speed Rating workflow, the four-tier rating model. None of these exist in HotSchedules; they would dilute its core scheduling job.

The integration

OneClick syncs with HotSchedules every 10 minutes. Shifts, Job Codes, and Team Member changes flow automatically. The Operator does not have to choose. The two work together.

Frequently asked questions.

Should I cancel HotSchedules when I get OneClick?

No. HotSchedules handles time/attendance, payroll integration, shift swaps, manager approvals, and federal labor law compliance reporting. OneClick handles position placement, training Passports, ratings, the Operational Intelligence dashboard, and shift execution. The two answer different questions and integrate.

What about cost — am I paying twice?

OneClick's pricing scales with team size; most Operators see payback within 60 days from Director time savings alone. The combined HotSchedules + OneClick monthly cost is typically a fraction of the labor optimization OneClick delivers in the first 90 days.

Does the OneClick + HotSchedules sync work both directions?

Mostly one way. HotSchedules is the source of truth for who is scheduled and when; OneClick reads that and does not write back to HotSchedules. Shift swaps and approved time changes flow into OneClick within 10 minutes.

Is there an alternative to HotSchedules that OneClick replaces directly?

VSBL and Nation App are the two products OneClick directly replaces (see our Switch page). Operators currently using those tools typically migrate fully to OneClick rather than keeping both.
