Stop Guessing. Start Auto-Scheduling.

Tell the engine your labor demand, employee availability, and skill requirements. It builds an optimized shift plan in seconds — respecting overtime rules, minor labor laws, and every constraint you set. No dragging. No guessing. No spending Sunday night building next week’s schedule. Completely free.

Three Ways to Clock In. All of Them Work Offline.

This isn’t a template copier. It’s a demand-analysis optimizer that
considers every variable and produces the best possible shift plan for your operation.

01

Define Labor Demand

Easily create smarter workforce schedules by telling the system exactly how many employees are needed, when shifts should be covered, and which skills or job roles are required. Demand can be customized by day, shift, or even hour to match changing business needs and workload patterns. This flexible scheduling approach helps managers avoid understaffing or overstaffing while improving productivity and labor cost control. By aligning employee availability with operational demand, businesses can ensure smoother shift planning, better team performance, and more efficient workforce management across every department and location.

02

Feed In Availability & Constraints

The scheduling engine automatically analyzes employee availability, approved time-off requests, skill certifications, overtime limits, and labor law requirements to create smarter and more accurate schedules. It instantly identifies which employees are available, who is nearing overtime, and who may be restricted from working certain shifts based on legal compliance rules. By considering all these factors in real time, the system helps managers reduce scheduling conflicts, avoid compliance issues, and maintain balanced workloads. This intelligent automation improves workforce efficiency while ensuring fair scheduling and optimized labor cost management for businesses of all sizes.

03

Generate the Optimal Schedule

The advanced scheduling algorithm intelligently matches staffing demand with employee availability, required skills, overtime limits, labor laws, and shift constraints to create the most efficient workforce schedule possible. It automatically fills every shift with the right employees while reducing unnecessary overtime and maintaining full compliance with company policies and legal requirements. Managers no longer need to spend hours manually adjusting schedules or resolving conflicts. In just a few seconds, the system generates a balanced, accurate, and optimized shift plan that improves productivity, controls labor costs, and ensures smooth day-to-day business operations.

04

Review, Adjust, Publish

The generated schedule is displayed in an easy-to-use drag-and-drop scheduling interface that your team is already familiar with, making adjustments simple and efficient. Managers can quickly make manual edits, swap shifts, or fine-tune assignments whenever needed before publishing the final schedule with just one click. Once published, instant push notifications are automatically sent to all affected employees, ensuring everyone stays updated in real time. This streamlined scheduling process saves valuable management time, reduces communication delays, and helps teams stay organized, informed, and fully aligned with daily operational requirements.

Every Rule. Every Law. Every Preference. Respected Automatically.

The engine doesn’t just fill slots. It thinks through every constraint so you don’t have to.

Overtime Rules

Configurable overtime calculations — daily, weekly, 7th-day, California rules. The engine avoids scheduling into overtime unless demand requires it, and flags when it does.

Minor Labor Law Enforcement

If an employee is under 18, the engine reads their date of birth, applies state-specific regulations, and refuses to schedule them outside legal hours. No other scheduling tool does this natively.

Employee Availability

PTO requests, availability windows, and blackout dates are all factored in. The engine won’t schedule someone who’s on vacation.

Skill & Role Matching

Need a certified forklift operator on the morning shift? The engine matches skill requirements to qualified employees.

Shift Preferences

When multiple employees qualify, the engine can factor in preferred shifts, preferred locations, and seniority.

Break & Rest Compliance

Minimum rest periods between shifts, mandatory break windows, and state-specific meal rules are enforced in the generated schedule.

Auto-Generate, Then Fine-Tune by Hand.

Auto-scheduling gives you a 90% complete schedule so you can spend your time on the 10% that needs a human touch.

Drag-and-Drop Builder

Drag shifts between days and employees. Resize to adjust times. The auto-generated schedule drops right into this view.

Copy Week & Templates

Save common patterns as templates. Copy last week’s schedule. Use auto-schedule for the initial build and templates for recurring patterns.

Recurrence Rules

Set shifts to repeat daily, weekly, or on custom patterns. The engine respects recurrence when generating new schedules.

One-Click Publish + Push Notifications

Publish with one click. Every employee on the schedule gets a push notification immediately.

How Much Time Does Auto-Scheduling Actually Save?

Managers at restaurants, retail stores, and healthcare facilities report spending 3–8 hours per week building schedules manually. With auto-scheduling, the initial schedule generates in under 60 seconds. Even with review and adjustments, total scheduling time drops to under 30 minutes.
That’s 2–7 hours returned to your managers every single week.
