Assign job tags to shifts

Whether you're running a catering function, managing a client site, or tracking costs across multiple events, Shiftly lets you assign job tags directly to shifts as you build your roster. Your team sees what they're working on, and you see what it's costing you.

Colour-coded job tags with filtering built in

Assign staff to specific job types

Call them jobs, projects or something custom — the label is yours.
