What is MakeShift?

Built for people first businesses in fast-paced industries, MakeShift is an all-in-one web and mobile solution that allows you to build schedules faster, track time and attendance more accurately and communicate with employees in real-time.

Key benefits of using MakeShift

Engaged Employees
MakeShift is designed to give employees more control over their schedules to increase employee engagement in the scheduling process. Using the mobile or web app, they can set their availability, trade or drop/cover shifts with co-workers, pick up more work when it’s available, and more!

Reduce Absenteeism and Overtime
By giving employees visibility and control over their schedules while on the go, MakeShift helps reduce absenteeism and cut unplanned overtime. Instead of manually trying to keep shifts filled and pick up the slack left by absent staff, managers can focus on their work knowing that they have the right people, in the right place, at the right time

Fill Shifts Faster
Creating a schedule and keeping it filled is tedious and time-consuming. MakeShift has several features that work together to help managers fill shifts quickly. Available shifts can be created from either the web or mobile app. Once you’ve entered the necessary information – date, start time, notes, etc. – you can notify either all or select employees about the shift and the employees can request it directly. Upon approval, the schedule is immediately updated and employees are notified whether they did or did not get the new shift.

Real-Time Updates
MakeShift updates scheduled shifts, availability, and other information in real-time, ensuring managers and employees are all working with the same, up-to-date information. You can also set custom notifications, so you’ll be alerted as soon as anything changes. Additionally, you can quickly sync work schedules with Apple, Google, and other calendars.


Instant Workforce Communication
Go beyond workforce scheduling. MakeShift lets you send notes to all, some, or individual employees who will instantly be notified when a new message arrives. With built-in announcements, your staff will be more informed and overall company communication will improve.


Manage on the Move
MakeShift Live is a mobile app designed for managers on the go. The iOS and Android app allow schedulers to manage approvals and their schedule right from their tablet or mobile device. The app frees managers from their desks, letting them manage their staff on the move, while keeping them up-to-speed on who’s working, who’s available, who’s late, and who’s off.

Pros
Makeshift has been great in helping me transition to a "work from home" world. I love that I can clock in and out of work with the ease of tapping a screen.
We love working with MakeShift. The customer support is super helpful and incredibly responsive.
I have used the makeshift to accept and request work-related shifts, and the ease of the technology has been splendid.
Cons
I could be unaware of where to find it, but i can;t find a time off accrual function.
Sometimes hard for the employees to log into the app as they enter building - mostly a phone issue with them.
No "Copy/Paste" function makes schedules a bit more time consuming when managing multiple shifts and many requests for times off or fluctuation numbers of shifts per day.
