Shift Scheduling That Actually Works
From posting shifts to booking workers in minutes—not hours. Built specifically for temporary staffing with real-time availability, rate negotiation, and automated notifications.
Shift Scheduling Shouldn't Be This Painful
Most organizations are managing shifts with tools never designed for temporary staffing
Spreadsheet Chaos
"We track 200 shifts per week in Excel. Who's confirmed? Who's available? We have no idea until we call everyone."
Endless Phone Tag
"Hospital needs a locum pharmacist for Saturday. I call 15 pharmacists, leave voicemails, wait for callbacks. Takes hours to fill one shift."
No Rate Flexibility
"We post shifts at $150/hr—take it or leave it. We're overpaying new grads and losing experienced workers to competitors."
There is a better way. ↓
