Trying to create multiple online calendars for multiple installation crews. Currently we have 5 white board calendars on a wall. Jobs get scheduled on the calendars.
Four salesmen. They would like online calendars so when at a customer's house they could pull up the install calendars and see what dates are open for installations. If they find an opening, they could add the customer and it would update the calendar immediately so the other salesmen could see immediately.
Everyone in the office has Microsoft office at their laptops. They are just individual microsoft office setups, work, excel, outlook. Nothing is interconnected.
I was looking online and saw Google Docs business and Microsoft Enterprise. Not sure if one is better than another for what we want to do. Since everyone is using Outlook already would Microsoft make sense or does in not even matter since we really only need to work with the calendars. Not sure if the calendars are tied into Gmail like they are in Outlook.
One issue I see is the 4 salesmen and install manager will sit in the office and be able to look at all the install calendars on the wall and move customers around from install crew to install crew by erasing on one calendar and writing it down on another.
Would there be a way on a large monitor to be able to view all the install calendars at once. I know we have to delete and re-type any customers, on the computer, if we wanted to swap them around but having all the calendars visible at once would make that easier than opening a calendar on the desktop, viewing, opening the next etc.
