When someone calls in sick, ShiftRobin texts your team in priority order until the shift is covered. SMS only — no app, no group chat, no phone tree.
ShiftRobin → Alice
Your workers already know how to use ShiftRobin. They reply Y.
Phone numbers, roles, and location. CSV import or type them in. No app for workers to install. No accounts to create.
Role, date, time, location. ShiftRobin scores and ranks your eligible candidates by seniority, reliability, distance — whatever you configure.
ShiftRobin texts candidates one at a time in priority order. No response in 2 minutes? It moves to the next person automatically. You watch the shift fill in real time.
Group texts reward whoever is fastest to reply — usually whoever is already awake and staring at their phone. Not who deserves the shift. Not who's closest. Not who hasn't worked in a week.
ShiftRobin asks one person at a time, in the right order. Seniority, reliability, distance, and whatever else matters to your organization. If they don't reply in 2 minutes, it moves to the next person automatically.
Weighted fairness, not fastest-finger.
Maria manages a 30-seat bistro. When her line cook texts "can't make it" at 4 PM, she used to spend an hour on the group text, then start calling. Now ShiftRobin contacts her eight most reliable cooks in order. The shift is covered before she finishes checking the reservation book.
James runs a home health aide agency with 30 caregivers. When a morning aide cancels, he used to work the phone tree for an hour while a client waited. Now ShiftRobin texts his nearest qualified aides in order. The shift is covered before the client notices anything changed.
Chief Torres manages standby coverage for a 40-person volunteer search and rescue team. When two members call off a weekend shift, she used to spend her Friday evening texting down the roster one by one. Now ShiftRobin contacts the closest qualified volunteers in order. The shift is covered before she leaves work.
ShiftRobin includes a simple shift calendar out of the box. Create shifts, track assignments, see who's working when. No extra tool required to get started.
