Automate shift coverage, reduce labor costs, and optimize voluntary time off (VTO) shifts with ShiftSwap™

Staffing to peak demand led to inflated expenses during slower periods, while average staffing levels often resulted in mandatory overtime to meet spikes in demand. The inconsistency impacted both operational efficiency and employee satisfaction.
By incorporating ShiftSwap™ into its operations, the company utilized Voluntary Time Off (VTO) to adjust labor to meet real-time volume needs. This streamlined scheduling and provided employees with more flexibility, all managed through an intuitive platform.

As spring approached, they rushed to hire and train new employees to meet the increased demand. The constant cycle of hiring and layoffs was costly and detrimental to employee morale.
