Remote and on-site clock-in

Shyfter supports remote clock-ins for off-site work, deliveries, or pop-up events. Employees record their hours from any location, ensuring accurate timekeeping even if they work outside the store.

Shift planning tailored to your business

Whether your store follows fixed schedules or operates with flexible shifts, Shyfter creates tailored work schedules aligned with your opening hours and peak activity periods.
