Excel is a good tool to start with. But as your team grows, the spreadsheet often becomes a bottleneck.
Signs it is time to switch
- The schedule is shared as an image or PDF in a group chat
- Staff ask about their shifts several times a week
- Hours are copied by hand into payroll
- A broken formula leads to wrong pay
- Only one person knows how the file works
Step by step
1. Add your staff
Start with names, contact details and employment type.
2. Build a template week
Create your usual shifts and reuse them as a template.
3. Publish to staff
Staff see their shifts in the app and get notified when something changes.
4. Add time clock and payroll
When time is recorded digitally, it can flow straight into payroll.
