Features of Workforce Automation for the Factory Industry

Factory Shift Schedule Platform That Adapts to SA Labour Requirements

South Africa’s labour laws require fair shift distribution and proper rest periods. Shifton simplifies compliance by automating the entire factory shift schedule process—ensuring every worker’s hours are tracked and legally aligned.

Supervisors can manage last-minute changes, set up recurring schedules, and send instant notifications to employees. With real-time visibility into team rosters, factories can maintain productivity even during strikes, load-shedding, or unplanned absences.

Factory Shift Schedule Dashboard for Monitoring Staff and Production

Shifton links staff schedules with production workflows, helping South African manufacturers meet deadlines and uphold quality standards. Using its central dashboard, managers can monitor task progress, spot delays, and optimise resource allocation.

With accurate factory shift schedule insights, it’s easier to identify which shifts deliver the best output, reduce idle time, and deploy skilled workers where they’re most needed.

Factory Shift Schedule Management for Field Technicians and Plant Workers

For factories that rely on both on-site crews and mobile teams, coordination can be a challenge. Shifton’s integrated factory shift schedule system brings clarity to your operations by linking shifts, work orders, and team availability in one place.

From Johannesburg to Cape Town, teams can view their schedules, log completed tasks, and request changes on the go—improving communication, accountability, and service delivery across all levels of your manufacturing business.
