Shifts, availability, and labor law—schedules that balance coverage with fairness and compliance.

Right people, right shifts—without the last-minute group text chaos

We combine employee availability, skills, and labor rules to generate schedules. Swaps and open-shift pickup go through approval; overtime rules surface before publish. Managers publish to mobile; employees get push reminders. Time-clock handoffs optional for payroll; integrations export hours with correct pay codes.
