Shiftboard

Multi-site operations of five to thirty staff commonly run rotas through group chat and printed sheets. Availability changes are lost, double-bookings surface on the day, and there is no reliable record of hours actually worked — an operational and compliance exposure.

• A week-grid scheduler with drag-to-assign shifts, per-person availability, and live conflict detection for overlaps, unavailability, and over-hours.
• An offline-tolerant mobile view so staff can review and claim open shifts on degraded connectivity, syncing on recovery.
• A published-versus-draft rota model so managers can restructure a week without notifying staff until it is formally published.

Building a two-week rota for a simulated 22-person operation moved from roughly 40 minutes of manual spreadsheet work to about 6 minutes, with conflicts caught at assignment rather than on shift. Every constraint rule is covered by unit tests.
