Our Beginning The idea for ShiftPlanning was conceived in early 2009 after the simple question was asked -“Why is the business I work for still using Excel to manage our schedules?”Entrepreneur Ryan Fyfe conjectured that employee scheduling was better suited online where it could be accessible at all times. He also foresaw a dedicated scheduling application that could go beyond simple hourly scheduling to enable other functionality such as automatic shift swapping, vacation planning, reporting – all situations that were currently eating into valuable management time and hurting businesses bottom line. After thoroughly reviewing what solutions were already available and validating the idea with business owners themselves, Fyfe took his entrepreneurial and web development talents to quickly assemble a talented team to develop and bring ShiftPlanning to market less than a year later. Since then, ShiftPlanning has grown to be the top choice workforce software of franchises, small businesses, and large organizations in over 60 countries across the globe.ShiftPlanning’s proprietary online software tackles the problem of employee scheduling head on by providing a centralized platform to both schedulers and employees. In fact, we’ve reduced scheduling-related busy work by up to 80% for a number of our users – allowing managers to focus on managing and employees to focus on their work. ShiftPlanning’s biggest advantage is that it’s available from any web browser and widely used mobile platforms to schedulers and employees alike. We’ve created a straightforward solution that provides both managers and employees with the information they need to make better shift-related decisions. Our users benefit from streamlined communication flow and file sharing, open shifts that allow employees to select when they want to work, extensive reporting options, real-time schedule conflict avoidance, 3rd party integration, and employee shift swapping; and, that’s just the start of our useful features.Unparalleled Functionality, Ease-of-Use & Support We are continually adapting ShiftPlanning to make it more intuitive and beneficial to our customers by developing features and functionality designed to provide further workforce management automation and flexibility (see our roadmap).
