Hi! Our company is about to implement Shifton for automatic and manual shift planning, and I'm a little confused. I know that the system allows you to generate schedules, but what if the situation changes? For example, an employee gets sick or simply cannot come to work? How quickly can you adjust the schedule if everything is already scheduled? And also: how convenient is the manual mode if you need to urgently make changes to the plan? I would like to understand how flexible this system is in practice. Has anyone already used Shifton in such situations?

We are just starting to implement Shifton, and we are just thinking about how to best configure the system to our needs. The only question is how difficult it will be to integrate it with other time tracking systems that we already have. Maybe someone has experience in this? We are afraid that we will have to spend a lot of time on configuration and training of personnel.
I have just recently implemented schedule generator work in our company, and I can tell you about my experience of using it. Firstly, the system really copes well with automatic shift planning. It allows you to take into account the wishes of employees, which is already a huge advantage. For example, many employees prefer to work at certain hours, and https://shifton.com/shift-scheduling takes into account their preferences and helps build a schedule that will be optimal for everyone. This saved us a lot of time, since before we had to fill out schedules manually, and this was a real headache. As for changes in the schedule, Shifton also demonstrates its flexibility here. If someone gets sick or simply cannot come to work, the system quickly finds a replacement, but it is important to note that for this, employees must indicate their preferences and availability in the system in advance. For example, if an employee indicated that he has certain free days or hours, and suddenly his shift turned out to be at a time when he cannot go out, Shifton will search for candidates among those who are free and who agree to work on this day. This works very quickly, as the system has collected all the necessary data in advance.
