Concentrating all testing into one or two van days per year creates significant operational friction: scheduling many employees in a compressed window, managing no-shows, backfilling production positions during testing, and paying overtime for shift coverage. Distributing testing throughout the year — using in-house equipment — converts that scheduling exercise into a steady, manageable workflow.
Concentrating all testing into one or two van days per year creates significant operational friction: scheduling many employees in a compressed window, managing no-shows, backfilling production positions during testing, and paying overtime for shift coverage. Distributing testing throughout the year — using in-house equipment — converts that scheduling exercise into a steady, manageable workflow. Testing can be completed during breaks, shift starts, or low-production periods without disrupting operations. Employees miss fewer appointments when testing is available at their regular work location. Results are available immediately rather than arriving in a batch weeks after the van visit. SHOEBOX: SHOEBOX’s scheduling rules in the Data Management Portal (PLUS tier) track due-for-testing status per employee against birth date or hire date, generating a Due-for-Testing report at any interval. This replaces the manual scheduling effort required to manage annual van programs.
