Managing schedules for funeral services requires a careful balance between flexibility and responsiveness. Shyfter offers a staff scheduling tool designed for businesses in the funeral sector, helping you plan shifts, track absences, manage leave, and respond to last-minute changes.
Shyfter’s clock-in system allows employees to register their working hours directly from their phone or tablet. This applies to teams on-site or on the move, ensuring you always have accurate time records.
Each employee logs in using a personal PIN code, and Shyfter can capture a photo during clock-in for additional verification. This feature is ideal for teams working across multiple sites or at external venues.
Whether you need fixed shifts for office staff or flexible shifts for on-call teams, Shyfter helps create custom schedules that adapt to the unpredictable nature of funeral services.
