What is Planday?

Planday's online employee scheduling tool enables businesses of almost any size and vertical to manage their workforce in an all-in-one platform through desktop, mobile and tablet.

Existing customers report saving 80% on their admin time and 5% of staffing costs with features such as drag & drop schedule creation and the ability to copy schedules week after week instead creating new schedules from scratch each time. With a comprehensive overview of your schedule, you can optimize your shifts to avoid excessive payroll costs. Planday’s location-specific clock-in function allows staff to clock-in from any device when they arrive to work, providing a full analysis of exactly how many hours are worked for more accurate payroll and revenue forecasts. Our integrated communication function also allows you to message employees in specific locations, while also enabling employees to swap shifts on the go.

Try Planday for free for 30 days (no credit card required), or request a demo by one of our representatives, to see the system for yourself.
