About shifts coverage

Optimise shift schedules and make sure they are fully staffed. Plan the week in advance and add them to shifts

You will be able to create the distribution of shifts needed and then assign them to employees:

  • Creating the concept of empty shift
  • Creating all needed shifts for a week
  • Being able to copy or store patterns of weeks (normal week, busy week, low week...) to apply them once and again
  • Assigning those shifts to employees easily in bulk or individually with drag-and-drop
