Why Shifter

Everything a small team needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Most bars, restaurants and clinics run on Excel or a WhatsApp group. Enterprise WFM tools are bloated and overpriced. Shifter is the calm middle ground.

Calendar-first

Plan, assign and view shifts in a calendar that feels native — not in a grid that fights you.

Shift swaps

Staff propose, managers approve. Audit trail kept automatically. No more group-chat chaos.

EU compliance built in

Working Time Directive plus per-country overrides for PL, CZ, SK and FR. Violations flagged before publish.

Multilingual

English, Polish, Czech, Slovak and French at launch. Add a new market in one config file.

Mobile-ready PWA

Installable on any phone. No app-store friction, no second login. Works on any Wi-Fi.

GDPR by design

Tenant data isolated row by row. EU hosting. Tamper-evident audit log of every assignment change.

Common questions

Is Shifter GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Data is hosted in the EU, tenants are isolated at the row level, and every assignment change is recorded in a tamper-evident audit log. A DPA is available on request.

Does it handle the EU Working Time Directive?

Yes. The compliance engine runs WTD baseline rules plus per-country overrides on every publish. Violations are surfaced before the schedule goes out, not after the fact.

Can staff sync shifts with their calendar?

From day one — every staff member gets a personal iCal subscription URL that works in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook. No re-import needed when the schedule changes.

Do you have a mobile app?

Shifter is a Progressive Web App — installable on iOS and Android straight from the browser. No app-store account, no review delays, instant updates.
