Lincoln Police Dept. (IL) Announces Moving Admin Processes Online to Aladtec Improves Efficiencies
Springfield, Illinois (PRWEB) September 15, 2015 -- This police department knew they could find a better way to schedule officers and perform administrative tasks. They were spending many hours every week to manually enter the schedule and various data that needed to be tracked. Using a spreadsheet to schedule employees proved not only time consuming but error prone as well.
“We shopped around and demoed several online workforce management software products. We were looking for something that was feature rich, but easy for our officers to use,” explains Paul Adams, Chief of Police, Lincoln Police Department, Lincoln, Illinois. “We chose Aladtec because the system is ideal for scheduling, has many other great features, is very user friendly, software updates are free and their tech support is outstanding.”
Adams says his department uses Aladtec’s Forms feature for overtime slips, vehicle work orders and inventory. Previously these were all paper forms which would be filled out, submitted, reviewed, tabulated and filed. Now, all these forms are online - which reduces paper costs, reduces processing time and eliminates the chance of misplacing or losing the form.
“We really value the fact that now all our data is in the Aladtec system and is available to review and/or export for analysis. We can access the system anytime from anywhere since it’s all online. After implementing the system, I quickly discovered I was saving a large amount of time every week, which allows me to devote time to other work duties,” states Adams.
The Lincoln Police Department also uses Aladtec to track the certifications of their 27 officers. After their certifications are input, the system will notify individuals when a particular certification is about to expire.
“Having a web-based system like Aladtec allows us to stay on the cutting edge rather than dealing with the various problems involved with pencil and paper processes or having to continuously pay for and update an installed software program,” adds Adams. “We are very happy with our Aladtec system and having their tech support staff available, if we need them, has been very helpful.”
