Shyfter provides a complete scheduling solution to help retail managers coordinate staff effectively. Our staff scheduling software streamlines shift creation, absence tracking, and productivity monitoring, helping you save time and reduce errors.
Employees can clock in using Shyfter Staff, a mobile app designed for your workforce, or via Shyfter POS on a tablet. The system records start times, breaks, and shift end times with just a PIN code entry, making time tracking easy.
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.
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.
Employees submit leave requests directly through Shyfter Staff, accessible 24/7. Managers receive instant notifications, allowing for quick approval or refusal based on team availability.
When employees report unexpected absences, managers are notified immediately. This allows fast adjustments to cover shifts and maintain operational continuity. Employees can also submit medical certificates directly through the app.
Shyfter tracks overtime hours by comparing actual hours worked to contractual hours. It calculates overtime automatically and ensures compliance with labor laws. This helps avoid payroll errors and simplifies wage calculations.
Shyfter offers real-time productivity tracking, helping you monitor staffing levels against customer flow. This allows for adjustments to shift coverage, ensuring you never overstaff or run short during peak times.
Shyfter provides a secure cloud space for all employment contracts, certificates, and HR documents. Managers can access and manage documents anytime.
All recorded working hours, absences, and overtime feed directly into payroll systems, reducing manual calculations and ensuring accurate payslips every month.
Shyfter lets managers list open shifts, which employees can apply for directly. Staff can also swap shifts via the app if personal commitments arise. Managers retain final approval over all requests, ensuring full oversight.
