- Productive Scheduling Solutions is widely recognized for its EZCall® software-as-a-service (SaaS) employee scheduling solution designed to automate the process of scheduling for physicians, hospitalists, academic practices, advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants.
- EZCall is highly differentiated by its next-generation platform that combines an easy-to-use, intuitive interface with flexible rules-based configurable scheduling capabilities.
