A field employee calls out before a customer assignment

The manager must find someone available and qualified without creating overtime, insufficient rest, an overlapping assignment, or another uncovered site.

An urgent service need changes the day

A priority issue may require moving an employee, extending coverage, or shifting responsibilities while keeping the office and field team aligned.

The available employee may not be the right employee

Availability alone is not enough. Managers also need to consider qualifications, current hours, existing assignments, and company rules.

Connected field workforce operations

Field service employee scheduling software built around the decisions behind every assignment.

Shiftaro connects field service employee scheduling software with availability, coverage, qualifications, approvals, tasks, and communication so managers can act quickly without losing workforce context.

Schedule employees across customer sites

Build and manage schedules by branch, location, team, employee, customer site, or date so field workers know where they need to be and when.

Match assignments to qualified workers

Use job, team, and qualification rules to help managers evaluate whether an employee is appropriate for the assignment before approving the change.

Handle callouts without a phone tree

Move an uncovered assignment into the Coverage Marketplace so eligible employees can respond and managers can review the best replacement.

Approve changes with decision context

Review availability, current hours, overtime exposure, overlap, minimum-rest risk, qualifications, and operational impact in the Approval Center.

Keep the office and field team informed

Connect schedule changes with team communication, direct chat, announcements, acknowledgements, and daily updates.

Attach tasks and instructions to the work

Assign customer-site instructions, checklists, equipment reminders, inspection steps, documentation requests, and quick tasks to the employee responsible.

Field coverage workflow

From an uncovered customer-site assignment to an informed staffing decision.

A field callout should not force a manager to rebuild the day through calls, texts, and spreadsheets. Shiftaro keeps field service employee scheduling software connected to the coverage decision, the employee, and the work.
