✓ No card · ✓ Free Excel migration · ✓ Workspace ready in 2 minutes · ✓ Since 2004
Your constraints, our craft since 2004
Here is exactly what eBrigade takes into account automatically before it proposes an assignment. No manual schedule can stand up to nine constraints at once — eBrigade does it in a few milliseconds. Trusted since 2004 by 1,500+ organisations and more than a million users across six countries.
Required skills
First aid, nursing, HGV licences, forklift and machinery certificates, electrical clearances, professional driving qualifications, security-guard cards — eBrigade checks who holds what before it ever proposes an assignment.
Declared availability
Everyone declares their available slots from the mobile app (Live status), their unavailability and their preferences (nights, weekends). eBrigade only ever suggests the right people.
Compensatory rest
Recovery time after a 12- or 24-hour shift, daily rest, weekly rest, day/night rotation — all enforced according to your own rules.
Configurable emergency plans
Heatwave, flood, snow, storm, pollution, lockdown — protocols you can activate in a moment for local reserves, accredited associations and fire services.
Distance & catchment area
Assign the people closest to the site first. Mileage calculation, automatic expense allowances, and control across scattered sites.
Up-to-date qualifications
Refreshers and continuing education — eBrigade blocks an assignment if a qualification has expired or is about to.
Rank & hierarchy
Watch commander, non-commissioned officer, incident-command qualification — eBrigade respects the chain of command and the required supervisor-to-staff ratios.
Clashes & double-bookings
One person can't be in two places at once. eBrigade detects clashes automatically and suggests alternatives.
Fair rotation
Shifts and on-call duty balanced fairly over time — nobody works more shifts than anyone else, unless they choose to.
What (wildfire, emergency shift, trade-show cover), when, where, how many people, which skills are required.
Filters the eligible people: skills ✓, availability ✓, rest ✓, distance ✓, qualifications current ✓.
Mobilisation texts sent instantly. Real-time responses. Central tracking of the field reply.

Scheduling & activities
Smart scheduling under real constraints: skills, availability, compensatory rest, distance and hierarchy. eBrigade does the work for you.
Day/week/month views, drag-and-drop, clashes flagged automatically, colour-coded by skill, site or team.
eBrigade proposes the right people against every constraint: skill, availability, rest, distance and fairness. You approve in one click.
Rotations of 12, 24 or 48 hours, fair balancing over 3 to 12 months, station duty vs. on-call from home.
Create a mission with its requirements (first-aiders, nurses, drivers), several time slots, and track how it fills up as people sign up.
Generate a series of activities (weekly, on set days, until a date or a number of occurrences) and edit “this activity” or “this and all following” — just like a calendar.
Your members sign up from the calendar; eBrigade blocks sign-up if a required skill is missing, and collects configurable options (choices, quantities, mileage).
Each member subscribes to their eBrigade calendar in Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar through a personal, secure iCal link.
Everyone declares their slots (morning / midday / evening, full or half days). Three cross-views — by day, by month, by person — plus Excel export for the scheduling desk.
Someone can't make it? They submit a substitution request visible to available, qualified people. One-click approval, full traceability.
