The Ultra-Staff EDGE Medical Scheduling Module, developed by Automated Business
Designs, has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award for Best Employee Scheduling Solution in
the seventh annual Stevie Awards for Great Employers.
The Stevie Awards for Great Employers recognize the world’s best employers and the human resources
professionals, teams, achievements and HR-related products and suppliers who help to create and drive
great places to work. Winners of the awards, named the Stevies from the Greek word meaning
“crowned,” were recognized during a gala awards dinner on Saturday, September 17 at Caesars Palace
in Las Vegas.
More than 950 nominations from organizations of all sizes in 26 nations were submitted this year for
consideration in a wide range of HR-related categories, including Achievement in Workplace Safety &
Compliance, Employer of the Year, Chief Human Resources Officer of the Year, Human Resources Team
of the Year, Employee Relations Solution Provider of the Year among others.
The Ultra-Staff EDGE Scheduling Module received Gold in the Employee Scheduling Solution category.
The Ultra-Staff EDGE Scheduling Module is a web-based SaaS solution designed exclusively for medical
staffing companies to help staff medical professionals quickly and efficiently. The newest version of the
scheduling solution was nominated which includes advanced search and communication tools, the
ability to email shift schedules to both facilities and professionals, and the Pay Package Calculator.
Customer testimonials were also provided in the application to demonstrate success stories using these
tools.
“We congratulate all of the nominations and winners in the seventh edition of the Stevie Awards for
Great Employers”, said Terri Roeslmeier, President and CEO at Automated Business Designs. “Thank you
to the Stevie Awards for honoring us with the Gold Employee Scheduling Solution Award. It truly means
a lot to the entire ABD team to receive recognition for a solution that is very meaningful to us and the
healthcare staffing industry.”
The Ultra-Staff EDGE Scheduling Module is also unique because it is part of a larger-scale enterprise
staffing and recruiting software solution that includes powerful tools for recruiting and sales. Medical
staffing companies are not only able to use it as a scheduling tool, but they also have access to applicant
tracking and customer relationship management tools.

More than 100 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Gold,
Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners. The overwhelming number of high scores received by the
Stevie Award judges helped the Ultra-Staff EDGE Scheduling Module earn Gold. Some of the judges’
responses included: “Very well-designed services for medical staffing companies”, “Great and important
web-based SaaS solution designed exclusively for medical staffing companies”, “Pay Package Calculator
is a very good feature to be present in the solution”, “All new features are really adding value to the
customer”, “Was great to see how the scheduling tool provides access to applicant tracking and
customer relationship management tools and also how this saves manual work. You are able to see the
