Production

Plan the crew for the whole week in one go.

We plan the crew, not the line. They badge in at the gate and go straight to work, and the timesheet is already right when you come to approve it.

The problem

The line doesn't stop for admin.

Output is planned to the hour and the people who make it happen are planned on a printout by the door. When something changes, the plan and the paperwork drift apart.

The schedule lives on the wall.

A printout by the door, changed in pen. The version people work to and the version in the office stopped matching on Tuesday.

Clock cards, then a week of typing.

Hours go from a terminal, or a notebook, into a spreadsheet, into payroll. Every hop is somewhere for an error to enter.

Surcharges are worked out by hand.

The night crew finishes at six, the day crew starts at six, and the surcharge sits somewhere between the two. You work it out again every week.

Employee scheduling

See who is trained before you fill the shift.

Build early, late and night shifts per department. Tag the training as a skill and require it on the shift, and Shiftbase shows planners who holds it. On Premium, someone without it cannot claim that shift.

Time tracking

Hours from the floor, not from a notebook.

Your team clocks in on a terminal at the gate, a shared tablet, or their own phone. Breaks and overtime land on the timesheet with the clock-in, so nobody retypes a week of clock cards.

Payroll preparation

No more working out surcharges by hand.

Night, weekend and public holiday uplifts come off a rate card, so the hours arrive at payroll with the surcharge already on them. A day rate and a night rate on the same day requires Premium.

Absence

See a gap before it reaches the line.

Leave requests, sick days, and balances live next to the schedule. When someone drops out you see who is qualified and free, and you cover the shift before the shift starts.

Cover the gap without leaving the floor.

Post an open shift and the people trained for it get it on their phones. Confirmed before the changeover.

Always know when you work.

Shifts, swaps, and leave in the app, and the hours you clocked visible to you, not just to the office.

AWednesdaywith Shiftbase.

A production day runs in blocks: the early, the changeover, the late, the night. Here is how it looks when the plan, the hours, and the surcharges all sit in one place.

05:52

Early shift.

The line clocks in at the terminal by the gate. The office sees the shift is fully staffed without walking down.

09:15

Someone drops out.

Post the shift open and whoever is trained on that line can claim it. Cover confirmed before the first break.

14:00

Changeover.

Early clocks out, late clocks in. Both sets of hours land on the timesheet with their surcharges already applied.

22:40

Night shift.

The night rate comes off the rate card and lands on those hours. When payroll runs, nothing is rebuilt by hand.

Try it out, then decide.

Plan one department for a week, let the hours come in from the floor, and export them payroll-ready. If it doesn't earn its keep, it costs you nothing.

Set up in a day.

Every feature in your plan is open from day one, no credit card needed. Your first week can be live tonight.

Runs on shifts.

If your business runs on shifts, the setup already matches how you plan. Invite your team, set it up, and run it on a real week.

FAQ

Got questions?

Everything about running a production team on Shiftbase, and if it isn't here, our team is one message away.

No. Shiftbase holds no order, project or activity record, so hours attach to a shift and through it to a department, and nothing else. If your plant manager needs hours per job, that answer comes from your production system rather than from us. What Shiftbase gives you is the crew schedule, a clean clock-in at the gate, the absences, and a payroll-ready file with the night rate already applied.

On a fixed terminal at the gate, a shared tablet with a personal PIN, or their own phone. You can mix them per site.

Yes. Night, weekend and public holiday uplifts come off a rate card and apply to the hours you approve, so the export carries them. A day rate and a night rate on the same day requires Premium.

Shiftbase plans in whole shifts, and repeating patterns are built with templates rather than a dedicated rotating-week model. If your teams rotate on a fixed multi-week cycle, talk to sales first so we can be straight with you about the fit.

Yes. Worked hours, surcharges, and leave export to the payroll systems we connect to, so the numbers move without being retyped.
