Your experience

Are you using Symplr today?

Tell us about your experience, what works and what does not. We will show you how Teambridge compares on the parts that matter to your organization, using your own units, facilities and schedule.

What you write here reaches the person you talk to, so the conversation starts from your situation rather than a generic demo.

See how Teambridge compares on your own schedule.

Coverage

Fill the shift before you call an agency.

A callout opens a shift. Instead of a scheduler working a call list, an AI Specialist offers it to eligible nurses by competency, unit, hours this week and overtime exposure, then confirms the first yes on the schedule and tells the charge nurse.

02

Send the shift with full context

03

Write the claim back to the schedule

Credential readiness

Ready for the first shift, and ready for survey.

New hires, per diem and float staff complete licenses, certifications, competencies and signatures from their phone. When a certification is about to lapse, Teambridge asks the nurse for the renewal itself and follows up until the document is in.

Requirements set by role, unit and facility

Renewal requests sent automatically, by text and in the app

Staff experience

Schedule, swaps, messages and pay. One app.

A mobile app staff actually open. Nurses see their week, pick up open shifts with the differential shown, swap with charge nurse approval, clock in, message their manager and access earned wages before payday, all under your hospital’s name.

Every text, email and in app message attached to the shift it is about

Swaps and pickups approved by the charge nurse, not reconstructed from personal phones

Earned wage access with no fee to the hospital

Labor includes purchased services and professional fees. Independent industry context, not a Teambridge result. It is the line every one of the moments above touches.

Verified customer result

Days to confirm a shift became hours.

Moonlighting Solutions coordinates physician coverage for hospitals across a national network of more than 10,000 doctors. Teambridge gave providers a way to see real time availability and book themselves, while account managers see exactly what is still outstanding.

“It’s like going from travel agents to Airbnb. Before, even doctors who wanted to self serve couldn’t. They had to call or email us. Now, rostered providers can open the app at 10:30 at night, scroll through shifts, and book themselves.”

How the switch works

Bring the renewal date. We bring the migration.

A dedicated onboarding specialist runs the four steps with your team. Symplr stays live until the pilot proves the schedule, the timecards and the payroll export match.

01

Map

Staff, credentials, documents, units, facilities, pay rules and schedules come out of Symplr. Together we mark what moves as is, what gets cleaned up, and what you stop doing.

02

Configure

Your onboarding specialist builds the workspaces, requirement sets by role and unit, approval paths and manager views. You review real records, not a slide.

03

Pilot

One unit or one facility runs on Teambridge while Symplr stays live. Staff onboard from their phone. Managers compare the two schedules side by side.

04

Go live

The rest of the organization moves. Symplr is switched off at your renewal date, so you never pay for two systems longer than you have to.

What moves from Symplr

Staff profiles and roles

Licenses, certifications and competencies

Documents and signatures, with history

Units, facilities and departments

Pay rules, differentials and approval paths

Schedules and shift templates

Still under contract with Symplr?

Ask Symplr for your current agreement in writing before you evaluate anything.

Organizations that have run on one system for years often do not have the current agreement to hand. Once you have the renewal date and exit terms, we schedule the pilot and go live around them.

Your staff data. Protected.

Staff records, credentials and time data stay protected through the move and after it.
