Hi! I recently came across a system called Shifton, which allows you to optimize shift scheduling at your company. I do employee scheduling for a small company and I need to understand how to best automate this process. I heard that Shifton can help with manual and automatic scheduling, but I don’t fully understand how exactly this system works and what benefits it can bring to my business. Does anyone use it in practice? How does Shifton cope with shift distribution? I would be glad to hear real-life examples!

It's interesting that you mentioned flexibility in Shifton, because I use this platform too, but I've encountered the fact that the system sometimes can't perfectly take into account all the nuances associated with unique cases. For example, if a company has several employees who, for some reason, cannot work on certain days or in certain shifts, the system sometimes produces solutions that look logical on paper, but are not always convenient in practice.
Yes, https://shifton.com/shift-scheduling can really simplify the shift planning process. I have been using this system in my company for about six months now, and it has noticeably improved the organization of work. In general, it can automate the shift schedule taking into account many factors, such as employee preferences, their availability, statutory labor standards, and even the physical condition of employees if the system is integrated with the relevant databases. The main advantage of the schedule generator for employees is flexibility - the system allows you to set certain rules for distributing shifts, but also leaves room for manual edits. For example, if the automatic distribution did not take into account some individual nuances, you can always intervene and make adjustments. This is especially useful when there are changes in the team, such as vacations, illnesses, or force majeure. The automatic mode works according to algorithms that, in my opinion, take into account work schedules, weekends, holidays, and legal requirements quite well. I set up the system to predict in advance when changes need to be made, such as if someone unexpectedly goes on sick leave. Shifton also integrates with calendars, allowing you to keep track of holidays and weekends so you don't mix up shifts.
