Summary

The council approved a new contract for InTime scheduling software for the police department; staff said the cloud-based system will consolidate multiple internal tools and improve scheduling, payroll interfacing and officer access via mobile app.

The Common Council approved a contract for InTime scheduling software for the Waukesha Police Department. Assistant Chief Ty Hoffman presented the request, saying the department’s existing scheduling software is outdated and that InTime would replace multiple systems and improve efficiency.

Hoffman said InTime would consolidate roughly five separate internal systems—used for scheduling, vacation requests, minimum-staffing checks and payroll preparation—into a platform that reduces that number to two systems overall. The software is cloud-hosted and offers an officer-facing mobile application for shift signups, off-time requests and court notice tracking. Hoffman said the system would reduce supervisory time spent on scheduling tasks.

Council members asked whether the purchase is a one-time cost or an ongoing subscription. Staff answered that the contract has implementation costs plus an annual support fee; upgrades and updates are included in the annual cloud subscription. Alderperson Manion noted the item was originally scheduled for the IT Board but was moved to council because of time sensitivity; Manion said he supported the contract.

Alderperson Eric Payne moved to approve the contract; Alderperson Corey Payne seconded. The council approved the contract and staff will proceed with implementation.

Provenance: the item was introduced in new business with a presentation by Assistant Chief Ty Hoffman and was approved by roll call vote later in the meeting.
