Step-by-Step Procedure of How Shifton Works

Set Up Your Team

Invite employees to join the platform. Each user can securely log in and access their personal schedule, time clock, and payroll information.

Create Shifts

Track Attendance

Employees clock in and out via web or mobile, and real-time attendance data is stored in the system. Overtime or missed punches generate automatic notifications for quick resolution.

Effortless Workforce Management for Maximum Efficiency

Shifton’s Workforce Management Software for Smarter Staff Scheduling

Managing today’s workforce takes more than a basic scheduling tool. Shifton’s workforce management software combines smart staff scheduling, real-time time & attendance and labour-cost analytics in one cloud platform. Whether you run rotating shifts, remote teams or a 24/7 operation, our solution gives you instant visibility, cuts manual admin, and keeps every worker, manager and payroll system in sync.

Core Workforce Management Features

Shifton unites scheduling, time & attendance and communication in one workforce management platform.

  • Build conflict-free rosters in seconds and fill gaps automatically.
  • Generate shifts quickly and cut repetitive work with templates.
  • Prevent double-bookings and staffing shortages with built-in checks.
  • Fill vacant slots automatically so managers can focus on planning.
  • Get real-time updates on desktop and mobile to keep everyone in sync.

Time & Attendance (Real-Time)

  • Track every clock-in/clock-out from web or mobile and sync hours to payroll.
  • Monitor hours in real time through integrated timesheets.
  • Get instant overtime and missed-punch alerts to fix issues fast.
  • Enable geofenced clock-ins to enforce on-site rules (optional).

  1. Import your team and set pay rates and rules.
  2. Create and assign shifts in the planner (auto-schedule or drag & drop).
  3. Track attendance live and send real-time notifications about changes.
  4. Approve time off and shift swaps in the app so managers and staff stay aligned.
