Client since 2025
A small municipality of 6,100 residents, McMasterville hires around sixty young people each summer to manage its parks, pool, and day camp.
Roxanne Bégin, recently promoted Director of Recreational and Cultural Services, was looking for a way to simplify an overly manual system. Always driven to “stop tripping over the small stuff,” she saw Agendrix as a way to become more efficient and productive.
The moment she visited the website, she was immediately drawn in: “It’s dynamic, easy, well designed. The tutorial videos are sweet as candy.”
For Roxanne, it was time to step into 2025, and Agendrix checked all the boxes. The change transformed her day-to-day, reduced stress, centralized communication, and brought back quality time at every level. The tool is already gaining traction in other municipal departments.

With Excel

The coordinators for the pool, parks, and day camp used Excel to create their team schedules.

Roxanne was constantly solicited via multiple channels for schedule changes: during the day, in the evening and even on weekends. This continual availability caused her significant stress. The schedule was shared via a Facebook group.
15 hours
Each pay period generated a total of 120 paper timesheets for the 60 employees. Calculating time in fractions often led to errors. Roxanne spent her evenings correcting timesheets.

The open shifts feature makes the schedule flexible and adaptable, a major asset for the pool and parks teams. Schedule templates are also very helpful.

Schedule changes are now handled through Agendrix via messaging or shift swaps. This centralization of communication eases the manager’s workload. Each employee sees and confirms their schedule. Follow ups are clear and fast.

Since the process has been digitized and centralized in Agendrix, automatic calculation of work hours makes validation quicker. There are now fewer—if any—payroll errors. And much less frustration for everyone.

Why Agendrix?
- Significant time savings : Roxane estimates saving up to 12 hours per pay period thanks to automated timesheets and faster schedule creation.
- Less stress, clearer boundaries : Previously sollicited day and night, Roxane regained balance by centralizing communications.
- An intuitive and enjoyable platform : From her first login, Roxane found Agendrix “dynamic, simple, and well designed.”
- A smooth transition to retirement: Familiarizing herself with a new tool just before retirement brought with it a degree of resistance to change for the payroll clerk. From the very first payroll run with Agendrix, this resistance turned to relief!
The first payroll run we did with Agendrix was a turning point. The joy and satisfaction on the face of the payroll clerk—who’s about to retire—said it all. Thanks to the platform, she was able to end her career on a positive note, after years of stress from errors and a heavy manual process. She realized that resistance to change wasn’t necessary, and simply let herself be carried by Agendrix’s ease of use.
