Shiftova
For small, shift-based teams

Run the shift, not the spreadsheet.

Clock-ins, schedules, swaps, and payroll hours — plus shift checklists, calendar sync, and scheduling suggestions built from your own team's history.

Available on iOS and Android

The fundamentals

Everything a shift-based team needs

Clock in/out with GPS

A location snapshot at every clock-in and clock-out, with a full admin adjustment history for corrections.

Scheduling & swaps

Build the week, publish it, and let employees offer or claim open shifts without a single phone call.

Hours for payroll

Regular, overtime, and stat-holiday hours tracked automatically and exported as a PDF report per pay period.

Overtime alerts

Admins get notified the moment someone crosses 8 hours in a day — while they're still clocked in.

Just added

Built from how your team actually works

Built from shift data Shiftova already has — no new setup, nothing extra to maintain.

New

Shift Tasks

Attach a quick checklist to any shift — restock supplies, clean the equipment, count the till — and see who's checked it off before they clock out.

New

Schedule Signals

Shiftova studies your own scheduling and sales history — who usually works Saturdays, what an upcoming week's labor-hours budget should be — and quietly suggests a shift, a better end time, or how many hours to schedule. Nothing is ever auto-applied; every suggestion is one tap to accept or dismiss.

New

Calendar sync

Published shifts show up automatically in your team's own phone calendar, right alongside the rest of their life — no separate app to remember to open.

New

Team chat, built in

Post an update for the whole team, or start a threaded conversation with one person — no group chat to manage, no phone numbers to collect. It's already open on the same screen as the schedule.

One tablet, everyone's clock

Turn a shared iPad or Android tablet into a walk-up clock-in station. Employees tap their name and a 4–6 digit PIN — nobody needs their own phone signed in, and the shared device only ever sees the roster and the clock. Setup takes one admin tap; after that, the tablet just sits at the door and runs itself.

A heads-up before someone checks out

Shiftova quietly flags an employee whose recent hours, swaps, or clock times suggest they might be checking out — a missed shift, a shift given away, hours drifting from what's scheduled. Never automatic, just a heads-up on the Team screen while there's still time to have the conversation.

Payroll dollars you can trust

The dashboard's payroll total now applies the legally required 1.5x overtime premium and each province's statutory holiday pay formula — not a flat hours × wage guess. See what a pay period actually costs, and your real labor %, before it's over.
