The Shifta scheduling calendar

Across Switzerland, they trust us

Before, it was sheets of paper pinned behind a door. Now the staff organise themselves and swap their shifts. For me, it means far fewer hours spent on schedules.

How Shifta handles a store week

Real product surfaces, shown on a retail week.

Scheduling

A simple, visual schedule

You see at a glance who is available each day, on the sales floor, at checkout and in the stockroom. Drag a shift from one day to another or from one person to another, then publish: the whole team gets the schedule.

Labour Act

The Labour Act, checked while you plan

Switch on the Labour Act, and Shifta flags on the schedule whatever falls outside the rules, while you build the week. A warning, never a block.

Hours ready for payroll

Balances

Everyone's balances, kept up to date

Shifta works out everyone's balance of hours, holidays, public holidays and rest days automatically. No more adding it up by hand at the end of the month.

Mobile apps

The schedule on everyone's phone

When you publish, everyone gets a notification and sees their hours in the iOS or Android app. A Saturday to staff up? Post an open shift: whoever is free claims it, and you confirm.

Swaps & time off

Swaps you approve

A swap arrives as a request. Shifta flags it if someone would end up on two shifts at once or on approved leave, then you accept or decline.

Why Shifta

You shouldn't pay for software you only half use.

Most scheduling tools are built for chains, with menus no small team ever opens. Shifta is built in Switzerland for small teams: the essentials, done properly, in your language.

01

Only what you need

Every feature earns its place on the screen. Standard to schedule, Pro when your team needs everything else.

02

Anchored in Switzerland

Prices in CHF, the app in English, French and German, your data hosted in the EU. Built around how Swiss SMEs actually work.

03

Responsive, local support

Write to us and the team that builds Shifta, here in Switzerland, answers, usually the same day. Your feedback shapes the product directly.

FAQ

Retail scheduling questions

Common questions about scheduling your team with Shifta. Can't find what you're after? We're happy to help.

Can staff enter their availability?

Yes. Everyone enters when they cannot work before you plan, so the week is built on real availability instead of guesswork.

How do shift swaps work?

Staff request a swap in the app, Shifta checks for conflicts, and you approve or decline with one tap. The schedule updates for everyone.

Does Shifta track worked hours?

The team logs their hours in the app, and they appear next to the planned hours, with an estimated gross figure per person for payroll. Switzerland expects employers to keep a record of hours worked, and that record builds itself.

We have more than one store. Does that work?

Yes. Each store has its own schedule and team under one account, and you switch between them in a tap.

Can I try Shifta for free?

Yes, for 14 days, with every Pro feature and no credit card. After that, Standard covers scheduling for a single store of up to ten people at CHF 29.90 per month, and Pro adds time tracking, analytics and several stores for CHF 39.90.
