The ShiftGrid difference
Busy operation. Calm control.
Most scheduling tools give you forms, lists, and another calendar. ShiftGrid is designed as an operational picture: what is covered, who is available, what needs attention, and what is happening now.
Availability, locations, coverage, shifts, attendance, and staff communication all feed the same operational view — so managers spend less time switching tools and more time keeping the week covered.
Rota Scheduling
Build rotas with templates, open shifts, shift swaps, cover requests, time-off, and employee schedule views.
Weekly Staff Availability
Employees confirm their available days and times on first login and every Sunday. If they are overdue, they cannot be placed on new schedules until they update it.
GPS Clock-In
Verify staff clock-ins by workplace with configurable geofence rules and clean timesheet records.
Time & Reports
Review timesheets, attendance, worked hours, missed shifts, and export operational reports.
Locations & Workplaces
Give every workplace its own rota, chat, reports, geofence, and capacity usage counter.
Staff Invites & Seats
Invite employees with expiring codes, create staff accounts, and manage paid employee seat capacity.
Email Notifications
Send welcome, invite, removal, billing, payment-due, and admin test emails through your company mailbox.
Stripe Billing
Company signup, subscription modules, additional locations, employee seats, and billing events stay connected.
Admin Controls
Manage permissions, audit logs, cleanup tools, plan access, company limits, and free admin-granted access.
Switch between locations without losing the big picture. Owners see coverage, live staffing, open shifts, scheduled hours, and location status from one operational workspace.
01
See every location
Keep each workplace separate while the owner sees the whole operation together.
02
Filter the grid
Build a rota for one location or jump across the company without changing systems.
03
Spot coverage gaps
Open shifts, staffing status, and availability issues stay visible before they become problems.
Availability-first scheduling
Know when people can work before you place the shift.
Employees set their normal weekly availability on first sign-in and reconfirm it every Sunday. ShiftGrid brings that information directly into the scheduling grid instead of hiding it in a separate form.
Available and unavailable days appear directly in the builder
Preferred time ranges stay visible while creating a shift
Sunday reconfirmation keeps the next rota based on current information
Overdue employees cannot be assigned until they update availability
One-off availability exceptions remain separate from the recurring week

Rota Scheduling
The grid is the product.
Build the week in a visual grid where availability, shift status, work areas, locations, and coverage all make sense at a glance. Copy last week, adjust what changed, then publish.
Location checked only at clock-in/out · No continuous tracking
GPS Clock-In
Know who clocked in, where, and when.
Set a geofence radius for each location. Staff clock in from their phone only when they are physically on-site. Every entry is recorded in the timesheet with distance data.
Set geofence radius 25m–500m per location
Block or warn when staff are out of range
Manager override with audit reason
GPS distance recorded on every timesheet
Works from any modern smartphone
Privacy note: Location is checked only at the moment of clocking in or out — never tracked continuously.

Live Demo
Try ShiftGrid before creating your account.
Explore owner, manager, and employee views using safe sample data. No signup needed.
The Rota System includes multi-location scheduling, weekly availability, GPS clock-in, time-off workflows, timesheets, reports, team communication, and staff operations tools.
How do locations and employee seats work?
Companies choose their location and employee capacity during signup. Owners can see usage such as 1/5 locations or 8/20 employee seats, then purchase more from the owner dashboard when they reach their limit.
How does weekly employee availability work?
Employees set their available days and times on first login and reconfirm them every Sunday. If an employee has not confirmed the current week, ShiftGrid keeps them out of new scheduling assignments until they update their availability, helping owners build rotas from current staff input.
Can staff use it on their phones without downloading an app?
Yes. ShiftGrid is a Progressive Web App (PWA). Staff can add it to their iPhone or Android home screen directly from the browser — it works like a native app with no App Store required.
Does ShiftGrid send emails?
Yes. The system can send company owner welcome emails, employee invite emails, account-added emails, removal notices, billing reminders, payment received emails, and admin test emails through the configured company mailbox.
Can a company turn employee email sign-in codes on or off?
Yes. Owners can keep employee email verification enabled for stronger sign-in security or disable it so standard employees use email and password only. The secure option is enabled by default, while privileged accounts keep their existing verification protection.
Can ShiftGrid scale with multiple locations and employees?
Yes. Owners can manage paid location capacity and employee seats through the existing Stripe-powered billing system as the company grows.
Can I try before creating a full account?
Yes. Visit the Live Demo to explore owner, manager, and employee views using safe sample data — no signup required.
