We sit down with your group, listen to every constraint, model it in software, and hand you a live, publish-ready call schedule in 3 weeks. You review fairness before anyone sees it. If the group doesn't accept the schedule, you don't pay.

Live schedule in 3 weeks
How It Works
We model your rules — you review the output
Guarantee
Group doesn't accept it? You don't pay.
Most anesthesia groups we talk to describe the same problems.
One person owns the spreadsheet
They spend 15–25 hours every cycle wrestling with Excel, emails, and sticky notes. Nobody else can do it, and they're burning out.
Requests come in from everywhere
Texts, hallway conversations, email threads, paper forms. Half get lost. The other half conflict with each other.
"Fair" is in someone's head
Weekend and holiday loads feel uneven, but nobody can prove it. Every publish triggers the same arguments.
You looked at scheduling software already
It assumed your constraints were simple, asked you to configure 200 settings, and still needed someone to babysit it.
No generic demo. We build on your real rules, your real people, your next cycle.
We interview the scheduler and key physicians. Every rule, exception, site quirk, and political reality gets captured and modeled in the system. You don't configure anything.
Your clinicians get a simple portal to submit vacation and call preferences. We import historical data so fairness accounting starts from day one, not from zero.
We generate the draft, walk you through the fairness numbers, adjust until you're satisfied, and publish one source of truth the whole group can see.
Before You Publish
Example review dashboard
This is not self-serve software. We do the heavy lifting so you don't have to learn another tool.
Constraint Deep-Dive
We interview your scheduler and physicians to capture every rule, site quirk, and political constraint. This alone replaces weeks of back-and-forth with a software vendor.
Custom Solver Model
We encode your constraints into a scheduling solver purpose-built for anesthesia call. Not a template. Not a generic tool. Your rules, modeled exactly.
Historical Fairness Import
If you have past schedules in spreadsheets, we import them so the system knows who's been carrying the load. Fairness starts from history, not from scratch.
Request Portal for Your Group
Every clinician gets a login to submit vacation, preferences, and constraints. No more texts, hallway asks, or lost emails. One place, one deadline.
First Live Schedule — Built, Reviewed, and Published
We generate the draft, walk you through weekend spread, holiday load, and conflict reports. We revise until you're satisfied. Then you publish one source of truth.
Ongoing Software Access
After the pilot, your group keeps the request portal, published schedule, vacation calendar, and fairness dashboard. No separate software license during the pilot.
The "group accepts it" guarantee
If we build the schedule and your group doesn't accept it as a workable replacement for your current process, you don't pay for the pilot. We'll part ways, no invoice. We take this risk because the onboarding process — listening to your constraints and modeling them correctly — is exactly what makes the schedule work.
We scope pricing on the call after we understand your group. Typical pilots range from $2,500–$7,500 depending on group size, sites, and complexity.

Why we built this
NiceSchedule was built by a team that watched an anesthesia group spend 20+ hours every month on call scheduling in spreadsheets — and saw every "scheduling tool" on the market ignore the complexity that makes anesthesia call hard. We decided to start by listening instead of selling features.
Tell us your group size and biggest scheduling headache. We'll tell you if we can help, how much it would cost, and how fast we can start. No pitch deck. No demo of features you don't need.
