Managing work schedules in a garden center or nursery requires flexibility and clear processes. With varied hours, seasonal peaks, and outdoor work conditions, coordinating employee schedules is essential. Shyfter provides scheduling software tailored for garden centers and plant nurseries, offering tools to track working hours, manage shifts, and handle absences in real time.
With Shyfter POS installed on a tablet or smartphone, employees log their work time with a personal PIN code. Each clock-in records start time, break time, and shift end directly in the system.
The clock-in system works even without internet, ensuring reliable tracking regardless of field conditions. Each clock-in can include a photo capture for verification.
Whether working fixed shifts, seasonal hours, or weekend rotations, Shyfter builds work schedules that match your specific opening hours and peak periods. Managers simply adjust shifts through an intuitive interface.
Employees submit leave requests directly through Shyfter Staff, available 24/7. Managers receive immediate notifications and approve or decline requests in one click.
Sick leave and unplanned absences are also managed via Shyfter. Employees upload medical certificates directly through the app, keeping all documentation centralised.
Shyfter tracks all hours worked, automatically calculating overtime when employees exceed contractual or legal working hours. Managers approve overtime directly in the platform.
A dedicated productivity tool helps managers match staffing levels to operational needs. With Shyfter, you adjust shift start and end times based on sales data, weather conditions, or seasonal workload.
Shyfter installs in just five minutes. Employees clock in using a tablet or smartphone and a personal PIN. This ensures accurate, secure records, whether staff work on-site, in the greenhouse, or in the field.
The system also supports itinerant workers, useful for employees working across multiple sites or responding to deliveries and installations.
Shyfter stores employment contracts, shift records, and documents in a secure cloud. Managers access files anytime, ensuring up-to-date records.
