Features
Everything it takes to run locations without a spreadsheet
ShiftArc was built inside a working operation, so the feature list is short on buzzwords and long on the things that break at 6am.
The core
Built around the four things that actually go wrong
Every location on one grid
Stop flipping between per-site views and fake duplicate employees. One weekly grid shows all your locations with coverage and labor hours per day — filter down when you want to, never because you have to.
One screen, every site. Gaps surface before the day starts.
A time clock that doesn't need fixing
Geofenced clock-in verified server-side, breaks tracked with one tap, and forgotten punches closed automatically overnight — flagged, never silently edited. The 86% hand-edit rate is the problem ShiftArc was built to end.
Location recorded, never used to block you. No GPS? You still clock in — it's just flagged for review.
Review exceptions, not everything
The timecard queue only shows punches that need a human: no break on a long shift, way over scheduled hours, still open from yesterday. Every fix requires a reason, so your audit trail writes itself.
Only exceptions ask for a human. Clean punches approve themselves.
Payroll-ready in two clicks
Lock a pay period and download Gusto or QuickBooks files with weekly overtime already split correctly. Locked means locked — nobody can quietly change hours after the file goes out.
Also included
No add-on pricing for the rest of the job
Every plan includes all of this. There is no upsell tier.
Open shifts & drops
Post a gap and let qualified staff claim it, or let someone drop a shift for a manager to re-post. No more group texts at 6am.
Time off requests
Requests land in one queue with the schedule right there, so you can see who else is on before you approve.
Tasks
Assign the small things that fall through — a repair, a restock, a callback — with a due date and an owner.
Checklists
Turn paper opening and closing routines into tick-through runs. Steps can require a note, and you can see what didn't get finished.
Training
Assign onboarding videos, docs and policies with due dates, and see completion by person at a glance.
Works on the phone in their pocket
Staff clock in, check shifts, claim open work and finish checklists from a browser. Nothing to install.
Roles that match real life
Managers see their locations, staff see themselves. Permissions follow the org chart instead of fighting it.
Reminders that actually arrive
Shift reminders and schedule-published notices go out on their own, so you stop being the reminder.
Get started
Bring every location onto one schedule
We'll walk through ShiftArc the way your crew would actually use it — from the Monday schedule to the payroll file.
