Why Shiftbase?

Work news lands where they already look.

Your team already opens Shiftbase to see when they work. Put the news, the files, and the messages there too, and nobody has to install a second app or hand out a personal number.

News everyone sees.

Post an announcement to the whole team or to one department. They read it next to their shifts, and they can react to it.

Files where people look.

Company files sit in Shiftbase: the handbook, the allergen list, the new opening procedure. Attach one to a message when it belongs there.

One message, a department.

Send one message to everyone in a department without collecting phone numbers first.

News messages

Post it once, where the shifts are.

Write the announcement in Shiftbase and your team reads it in the same app they use to check when they work. Attach the file it refers to, and let people react.

Company files

The handbook stops living in a drawer.

Company files keep the documents everyone needs in one place: house rules, procedures, the allergen list, the safety sheet. New starters find them without asking, and you update one copy instead of five.

ChatEarly access

Team chat, in groups you control.

Chat adds group messaging inside Shiftbase, split by location or department, with threads, images, files, reactions, and notifications people can mute. Your own messages show whether the group has read them. Groups stay off until an admin turns one on, so the app doesn't fill with noise.

Mobile

In the app they already have.

The chat button sits in the Shiftbase app next to the schedule and the timesheet. No second app to install, and no personal numbers passed between people who work one shift a week together.

Get team chat while it's still in early access.

Chat runs on every paid plan and costs nothing extra while it's in early access. One-to-one messages, groups tied to a shift, and custom group types are on the way. Tell us what your team needs while it's still being built, and it shapes what ships.

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 communication in Shiftbase - and if it's not here, our team is one message away.

Nothing extra during early access. Chat runs on any paid Shiftbase plan, alongside the news messages, reactions, attachments, company files and bulk messages already in your plan. What happens after early access is not settled, and you will hear it from us before anything changes.

Yes. Chat runs on any paid Shiftbase plan, in every country and language we support. It's in early access, so what you switch on is still being built.

Not yet. Chat works in groups today, split by location or department. One-to-one messages are planned.

For the group chats about work, yes. Those move into Shiftbase, next to the schedule, so the message lands where people already look. Chat is in early access, so it doesn't cover everything WhatsApp does: one-to-one messages are still on the way.

No. Messages go through the Shiftbase app, so nobody swaps private numbers to cover a shift.

Groups stay off until an admin turns one on, and people can mute the ones they are in.

In the Shiftbase app on their phone, next to their schedule, and in the browser under Communication.

A team communication app puts work messages, announcements and files in one place the whole team can reach from their phone, instead of a WhatsApp group running on someone's personal number. In Shiftbase those messages sit next to the schedule, so an announcement lands where people already go to check their shifts. Group chat is in early access and runs on any paid plan.
