Microsoft Teams Shifts
Digital shift scheduling and time tracking for your frontline employees. Directly in Microsoft Teams — no additional cost.
Excel Schedules and WhatsApp Groups Are Not a System
In many mid-market organizations, shift schedules still run via Excel spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, or paper notices. Changes get lost, availability is unclear, and time tracking happens by hand — or not at all. 80% of all manually recorded timesheets contain errors.
This is not your operations managers' failure. The existing tools simply were not built for shift scheduling. On top of that: legal requirements for time tracking are increasing the pressure to implement a verifiable solution.
Microsoft Teams Shifts is included in every M365 license with Teams — no additional cost. Your employees already have the app on their phones. All that is missing is structured deployment.
