The site names tools for breaks, Fair Workweek, overtime and custom pay rules.

Construction and engineering teams, along with manufacturing and logistics operations, are among the industries the software is built for. Shift based workforces spread across several locations can share one scheduling process. Managers in these settings can plan rosters centrally while each location keeps its own staffing view.

Scheduling processes can be built around standard operating procedures and stay consistent as the business grows. Roll up and drill down views give visibility at every level, from a single location up to the whole group. The structure stays the same as the number of locations grows.

Break planning is handled as a compliance area within scheduling. Tools are provided to automate key requirements, so managers can organize rosters with those rules already in view. Managers can review break planning while they build the schedule itself, so compliance checks happen during planning rather than afterwards.

The tools are designed to be easy to use and quick to implement, and they aim to keep staff engaged. Lower staff churn is one outcome teams look for when they roll the software out across a business. Simple tools are easier to adopt across a workforce, which is why easy to use design is emphasized.

Advanced automated models tune each roster so that staffing levels match demand at every location. Managers can see how each roster fits the needs of different locations and adjust it as conditions change. Managers keep final say over each roster and can adjust it whenever demand changes.
