Sound familiar?
You finish the rota. Then the messages start.
A spreadsheet can't hold everyone's hours, days off and little asks in its head all at once. So things slip, and it's your team that feels it, even when you've done your best by them.
Fairness, built in
A rota that can't be wrong.
Shiftly uses constraint satisfaction. The same maths that schedules airline crews, exam timetables, and hospital theatres. You set the rules. The maths makes sure every rule holds, every week, without exception.
Make every shift a good one
What a good shift looks like.
You open up, and the right people are already on.
Nobody's texting to swap. Nobody's left short.
It's busy, it's grand, and it all just works.
You lock up on time and head home.
Honestly, that's the whole point.
Looking after your people
The team that stays.
There's good research behind this. Harvard's Shift Project found that people whose shifts kept getting cancelled or chopped about were nearly twice as likely to leave.
Give folks a rota they can plan a life around and they tend to stick with you. They learn the regulars, they cover for each other, and your good people stop drifting off to the place down the road.
Look after the rota, and it quietly looks after your team for you.
