Hi guys! We have a problem with creating schedules for employees at our company. We have been doing it manually for a long time, and now everyone is tired of constant edits and confusion. I have heard about Shifton, which offers automatic and manual shift planning, but I cannot understand how convenient it is in practice. What do you think, will it really help? And how does the system cope if changes need to be made at the last minute? We have force majeure situations, and it is important for the system to be able to react flexibly. Does anyone have experience using Shifton in this context?

This sounds really convenient, especially considering that we often have such last-minute schedule changes. I understand that Shifton can be customized to suit any company needs, and this is a really important point. I guess for large teams where employees are constantly changing or there are some unexpected circumstances, this should be especially useful. Question: how does Shifton handle situations when employees themselves want to change their shifts? Is there a possibility of interchangeability, for example, when one employee can offer a replacement to another, and the system will automatically take this into account?
I have been using https://shifton.com/shift-scheduling in my company for about a year now, and I can say that it is simply an indispensable thing for automating shift planning. In fact, this is not just a convenient application, but a real find for any business where it is important to effectively manage employees' time and not lose a single detail. Firstly, shift creator allows you to not only automate the process of creating schedules, but also easily change them manually if force majeure occurs. It all depends on how you set up the system. For example, you can set parameters such as preferred hours for each employee or exclude certain days. When the system automatically generates a schedule, it will already take into account all these conditions. But that's not all. One of the main features of Shifton is that if at some point something goes wrong - someone gets sick, someone cannot work on a certain day, the system allows you to make changes in a matter of minutes. This can be done either manually or by using automatic recalculation if you want the program to redistribute shifts between employees. In this case, as soon as you make changes, they are immediately displayed in the system, and each employee can see them. This eliminates the need for constant calls and clarifications - employees simply go to the application and see the updated schedule.
