Generalities

Rotas and Workforce Management fixed terminals (web) can be installed on different tablets. We do not sell any hardware.

Advice

  • Don't go for the cheapest model available

  • Try to avoid older models (3+ years old)

  • Prioritize tablets with recognized brands such as Apple or Samsung

  • The tablet itself does not require heavy processing power

We recommend getting a model with built-in kiosk mode, allowing you to block access to other applications.

Any tool that supports Atlas Scheduling's necessary iOS version will work.

* Please note that other models can be used, but iOS 13.4 must be supported.
