What does it do?

OnCall lets you create on-call schedules easily. Team members are always up-to-date with personalized dashboards and access to the latest schedules. Text messages and e-mail reminders based on rules keep everyone in the loop.

Why do we need it?

Because too often problems arise without someone available to fix it. Usually the on-call schedule is an abandoned spreadsheet hiding in some corner of a shared drive. OnCall continually brings attention to the schedule and makes it work.

Who is it for?

IT and operations teams with simple scheduling and notification needs, as well as companies from other industries that require having people on-call outside of normal business hours, like hotels and residence management companies.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

It’s a simple solution that focuses on the essentials, like easy scheduling and flexible rules for notifications, allowing companies to adapt it to their own needs.

What’s next?

The product is intended to be kept simple. The focus now is to keep improving the scheduling and notification tools, as well as expanding to mobile applications.
