Shiftmation is a cloud‑based platform that uses artificial intelligence to automatically generate work schedules for shift‑based organizations. Employees submit their availability via a mobile‑friendly calendar, the AI creates rosters that respect custom rules and fairness constraints, and the finalized schedules are pushed directly to each staff member’s smartphone, eliminating manual entry and distribution errors.

Problem
Many organizations that manage shift work—such as hospitals, care facilities, hotels, and retail chains—spend extensive hours manually collecting staff availability, balancing complex scheduling rules (night shifts, multi‑day rotations, skill mix), and correcting errors from manual entry. This process creates scheduling bottlenecks, increases the risk of unfair or unbalanced rosters, and leads to missed or incorrect shift assignments.
Solution
Shiftmation offers a cloud‑based platform that uses artificial intelligence to generate work schedules automatically. Staff submit their shift preferences via a mobile‑friendly calendar interface, which is instantly aggregated into the system without manual transcription. The AI engine then creates a draft roster that respects pre‑defined business rules, fairness constraints, and individual preferences. Users can review and adjust the schedule in real time, with visual alerts and graphs highlighting over‑ or under‑staffed periods. Once finalized, the system pushes each employee’s personal calendar to their smartphone, eliminating distribution paperwork and reducing the chance of misreading the roster. The platform also automates daily task and break assignments based on the generated monthly schedule.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operations managers and HR teams in healthcare, elder‑care, hospitality, retail, and other shift‑based enterprises that need to produce accurate, fair schedules for multiple locations and large staff pools.
