Shift swap software that keeps coverage moving without losing control.
Shiftaro’s Coverage Marketplace gives employees a clear place to offer shifts, claim open shifts, and pick up extra work while managers keep the final decision. Route direct offers, marketplace claims, open shifts, and coverage requests through business rules and approval workflows tied back to the schedule.
One controlled path for open shifts, swaps, offers, and claims.
Coverage can start from an employee, a manager, or someone looking for more hours. Shiftaro keeps every path connected to rules, eligibility, manager approval, and the final schedule update.
Employee needs coverage
An employee can offer the shift directly to someone or post it to the marketplace so qualified coworkers can claim it.
Manager needs to fill a shift
A manager can assign the shift to someone specific or post an open shift to the marketplace for eligible employees to claim.
Employee wants more hours
An employee can browse marketplace shifts they are qualified for and claim available work from mobile.
Employees can claim eligible shifts from their phone.
The marketplace gives employees a clear place to see available shifts, review shift details, respond to direct offers, and pick up more hours without sending managers into another group text thread.
Business rules run before the schedule changes.
Shiftaro’s Coverage Marketplace is not a free-for-all. Claims, offers, and swaps can be checked against eligibility, employee availability, schedule conflicts, overtime risk, time off, rest windows, and manager approval requirements.

Questions managers ask about shift swaps and open shifts
Use these answers to understand how Shiftaro’s Coverage Marketplace supports shift swaps, open shift claims, direct offers, and manager-controlled coverage.
What is shift swap software?
Shift swap software gives employees and managers a structured way to handle coverage changes when someone cannot work a scheduled shift. In Shiftaro, employees can offer a shift directly to a coworker or post it to the Coverage Marketplace, while managers can keep approvals, business rules, and schedule updates connected.
What is the Shiftaro Coverage Marketplace?
The Coverage Marketplace is the place where open shifts get posted, eligible employees can claim available work, direct offers can be managed, and coverage requests can move through approval before the schedule changes.
Can employees claim open shifts?
Yes. Employees can browse available marketplace shifts they are qualified for and claim or request to claim open work from mobile. Managers can require approval before the schedule officially updates.
Can employees offer a shift directly to someone?
Yes. If an employee needs coverage and already knows who may be able to help, they can send a direct offer. The request can still stay tied to business rules and manager approval.
Can managers post open shifts?
Yes. Managers can create a shift and send it to the marketplace, assign it directly to someone, or review claims from employees who want to pick up the shift.
How does Shiftaro prevent uncontrolled shift swaps?
Shiftaro can apply business rules before the schedule changes. Claims and offers can be checked for role fit, team fit, availability, time off, schedule overlap, overtime risk, rest windows, and approval requirements.
Does the schedule update automatically after approval?
Approved coverage actions can update the schedule and keep the request history connected. That helps managers avoid losing context in texts, side conversations, or manual edits.
