Hi! Can you tell me who uses a shift planning program? Our company needs some kind of automation tool, because manually creating a schedule is something else. We tried several services, but they were not the same. Does anyone have experience with Shifton? How does it work with flexible hours? Sometimes we need to urgently change shifts, someone cannot go out, we need to adapt to new circumstances. It is important that the system does not confuse anything and everything can be quickly corrected, but at the same time so that you do not have to manually rearrange everything each time. Does Shifton have such a function?

Yes, I have been using https://shifton.com/shift-scheduling for several months now, and I can say that it is a really useful tool for shift planning, especially if you need not only automatic distribution, but also flexibility. It combines both automatic functions and the ability to manually edit, which is great for situations like yours. At first, it was also important for me to understand how flexible this system is, because our schedule also often changes, someone gets sick, someone suddenly cannot go out, and the schedule itself changes depending on the season or workload. What I liked about schedule generator work is the ability to set up shift templates in advance, for example, for each week or month. When you have such a structure, the system itself assigns employees according to the template, taking into account their working hours, preferences, and so on. That is, for standard weeks, this process is automated, and you do not need to waste time on each day. But at the same time, as I understand it, the strongest side of Shifton is the ability to quickly edit the schedule if something suddenly goes wrong. For example, an employee is sick or cannot work the assigned shift, and you can reschedule it for another time in a couple of clicks. Moreover, you can do this in real time, and the system will notify all employees about the changes, which is also convenient. However, it is worth understanding that with a large number of employees and changes, the system may sometimes offer less than ideal replacement options, and then you need to intervene manually to ensure that everything is correct.
