SmartRoster 3.800 is regarded as a convenient as well as simple to use program made for Churches, and is being used in a dozen different countries, by all major Christian denominations.
Churches have complex scheduling needs that were previously poorly addressed. Finally church administrators have a tool capable of juggling the complex demands of managing tens to thousands of individual volunteers in tens to hundreds of interrelated tasks, and in many different daily, weekly or adhoc activities.
