What is MakeShift Software?

Overview

MakeShift is a web and mobile app that helps people-focused businesses in fast-paced industries like healthcare, hospitality, retail, construction, and recreation schedule their employees. It lets you make schedules faster, tracks employees' time and attendance better, and connect with them in real-time and on the go. 

With MakeShift's web or mobile app (Android or iOS), managers and schedulers can easily see who is available to work, find gaps, and quickly build schedules based on expected or actual demand. 

Managers can also keep better track of time and attendance with GPS clock-in and out features. On the employee side, MakeShift software makes the scheduling process more collaborative. For example, employees can enter their preferred availability for managers to see and swap shifts with their coworkers from their smartphones.

good shift tracking with instant notifications

Pros

I love how I get notifications whenever my schedule changes. I can quickly check my upcoming shifts, get updates and even see available shifts all directly from the Dashboard. It's so much clearer, especially with the weekly summary.

Cons

As a shift worker, it's annoying that I can't choose multiple dates at once for adding availability. I have to pick each date manually which takes longer.
