Problem
Many businesses still rely on spreadsheets for employee scheduling, which is time-consuming, error-prone, and lacks real-time visibility. Managers struggle with shift conflicts, last-minute call-offs, and disengaged hourly workers who increasingly demand flexibility and control over their schedules.
Solution
Shyft automates the scheduling process, letting managers create, adjust, and share shift schedules in minutes from any device. The platform detects shift conflicts automatically and provides a Shift Marketplace where employees can swap, drop, and pick up shifts independently, with managers kept informed throughout. Employees can also request voluntary time off, post regional shifts, and handle call-offs through the app. Real-time messaging features allow teams to comment on shifts, discuss details, and confirm message reads, reducing communication friction. By enabling self-service scheduling, Shyft helps businesses offer more flexible work arrangements, reduce turnover, and compete with gig-economy flexibility.
Target Audience
Primary customers are businesses with hourly workforces, including retail, hospitality, healthcare, and food service operations that need flexible, mobile-friendly scheduling tools.
