Skill-Based assignments

Tag nurses, pharmacists, and techs with certifications (e.g., “IV Certified,” “Mental Health First Aid”). When creating a shift, only qualified staff appear. No more accidentally assigning a med-surg nurse to ICU.

Smart Auto-Scheduling

Let the system fill shifts based on staff availability and skills. Need a nightshift RN with pediatric experience? It finds qualified nurses who’ve marked themselves available. Avoids double-bookings and ensures no ward is understaffed.

Mobile App for easy access

Employees need instant access to their schedules, shift availability, and upcoming work hours. With Shyfter’s mobile app, users can view their shifts, swap schedules, and receive notifications directly on their phones.

68% Faster Staffing

Average time to fully staff a 200-person wedding drops from 14 hours to 4.5 hours using predictive talent matching and shift blasts.
leaves request

Easy leaves & absences management

Staff can request time off through the app, and managers can approve or deny requests. This simplifies the process of managing leave and helps ensure you have adequate coverage. The system keeps track of leave balances and provides notifications for upcoming requests.

Integration with payroll providers

Payroll errors can cause delays and dissatisfaction among employees. Shyfter integrates with payroll providers, ensuring that recorded work hours, overtime, and leave are transferred accurately for payroll processing. This reduces manual data entry and minimizes the risk of discrepancies, ensuring that employees are paid correctly and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do planning templates help in healthcare and pharmacy settings?

Planning templates allow you to create standard schedules for different shifts, ensuring consistency and saving time. This is especially useful for recurring schedules and helps maintain efficient staffing.

What if multiple staff request the same vacation week?

The app shows overlapping requests and lets you approve by seniority or fairness rules. Decline a request, and it automatically suggests alternate dates the employee might prefer.

How do I handle last-minute call-outs?

The system suggests available staff with matching skills. If a nightshift pharmacist cancels, it flags qualified replacements who’ve worked similar shifts before. Most gaps fill in under 15 minutes.

Can I require specific certifications for shifts?

Yes. Lock shifts to staff with certain tags, like “ACLS Certified” for ER roles or “Vaccine Admin Trained.” Untagged workers can’t even see those shifts.

Can Shyfter automatically generate schedules for my healthcare team?

Yes, Shyfter’s automatic planning feature creates schedules based on staff availability and patient needs. This reduces manual scheduling time and helps ensure you have the right staff at the right times.
