How it works
Chat it, see it, share it
Shiftly follows one simple path — describe your shop, generate a covered rota, then deliver diagrams and a recap your team can actually read. It is a scheduling tool: it never runs payroll or handles wages.
Tell it about your shop
Type your opening hours, team and shift rules in plain English, or use the builder. Shiftly reads who can do mornings, who’s till-trained, and how many hours each person can work.
- Plain-language brief or structured builder
- Availability, max days and max hours per person
- Till-trained and rule flags

Get a covered rota with checks
Shiftly builds a weekly rota that fills every shift fairly, then checks for gaps, double-bookings, short rest intervals and overtime — so problems surface before the week starts.
- Coverage gaps and understaffed shifts
- Rest-interval and consecutive-day warnings
- Overtime flags to confirm against your records

Diagrams and a weekly recap
Render the rota grid, coverage heatmap and hours summary as printable PNGs, export a timesheet CSV and rota PDF, and on Studio produce a short weekly recap video to share with the team.

Built for more than one shop
Studio adds multiple shops and teams, shared workspaces, shift-swap notice animations and priority generation, so multi-site operators can keep every location covered from one place.
