Providers set preferences. Admins set rules. The solver handles the rest — multi-location, multi-role schedules resolved simultaneously with no manual rework.
Providers walk through a guided preference wizard before each scheduling cycle — setting the days they prefer to work, shifts they'd like to avoid, and any hard constraints. Soonest collects everything in one place so nothing falls through the cracks.
When staff see their preferences honored, they feel heard. That's a direct driver of engagement and retention in high-burnout environments.
Three distinct workflows for when life happens. Staff self-serve through the platform. You set whether admin approval is required. Coverage gaps fill without you chasing anyone.
1-for-1 swap between two providers — offered directly or posted org-wide for anyone to pick up. Rules and admin approval settings are yours to configure.
"I'd prefer not to work this shift, but I will if no one else picks it up." Soft release into the open marketplace with a built-in fallback so coverage is never at risk.
Last-minute illness notification that immediately alerts admin and opens the shift to the organization. Locum tenens partner integration available if no one picks it up.
Every published schedule receives an automatic grade rating fairness, constraint coverage, and preference satisfaction. You see exactly how well the schedule performed against your rules — and staff can see which of their preferences were honored and why.
Scheduling disappears from your plate. We handle the busy work. You stay in full control.
Providers submit availability, preferences, and constraints in one place — on their own time.
AI generates a fair, rules-compliant schedule across all locations simultaneously. No manual rework.
Staff trade, release, and cover shifts through the platform. No back-and-forth, no group texts.
One click. That's your new scheduling workflow.
Soonest includes a built-in messaging hub so communication lives where the schedule does. Create org-wide channels, department groups, or direct messages — all in one place.
Software alone doesn't solve the problem. That's why every Soonest client is assigned a real human assistant who builds your setup, handles the details, and keeps everything running.
