Shift Management
Schedules that forecast, fill, and adapt without a planner.
Shift planning is a forecasting problem dressed up as an HR problem. The forecast moves daily; spreadsheets do not. We treat the schedule as the output of a loop that learns demand, respects constraints, and reacts to no-shows in real time.
Why we are building this
Most QSR and retail brands schedule by template plus gut. The loop replaces both with a system that gets sharper every week.
