What it does

Everything a shift takes — in one place.

From building next week’s rota to exporting last month’s hours, Shiflo covers the whole cycle so nothing lives in a group chat or a paper diary.

Auto-scheduler

Fill next month’s rota in one tap.

Set each person’s target hours and press generate. Shiflo learns from last month, balances hours, covers every role, works around days off and availability — and flags anyone heading for too many days in a row.

  • Generates a whole month, not just a week
  • Respects availability, days off & role coverage
  • Balances hours toward each person’s target

Time & attendance

Clock in, clock out, done.

Staff tap to start and end a shift and every hour is timestamped. The month total, shift count and projected hours update live — payroll adds itself up as people work.

  • One-tap clock in / out, or manual entry in two taps
  • Live monthly total & average hours per shift
  • Forgot to clock out? A quick fix the manager approves

Special events

Count special events on their own.

Weddings, parties, a big match night — add a special event and its hours are tracked separately from regular shifts, so a busy one-off never muddies anyone’s normal total. Post it as an open special shift and staff can claim it.

  • Special hours tallied apart from regular hours
  • Open special shifts staff can claim
  • Both totals land in the monthly report

Requests & swaps

Cover comes from the team, approval stays with you.

Staff request days off, pick up open shifts, or offer a swap to one or several colleagues at once. Everything lands in one inbox — approve with a tap, and only agreed changes touch the published rota.

  • Days-off & holiday requests in a single inbox
  • Offer a swap to several colleagues — first to accept wins
  • Open shifts staff can claim instantly
