The week built from your constraints
Coverage per slot, contracted hours, rest periods, skills and preferences become rules. The plan that comes out is already valid: you do not have to check it row by row.
No card required · Setup in under 3 minutes
The signs the spreadsheet has stopped being enough
It is not about how many people you have. It is about how many constraints you are holding in your head at once.
Too many constraints to track
With ten people, mixed contracts and skills to cover, the week becomes a sudoku. Every manual fix breaks something else somewhere else.
Half a day, every week
When planning takes over a Sunday evening, the free tool has stopped being free: you are paying for it in your own hours.
Errors surface on Saturday
A spreadsheet adds up, it does not warn. That nobody on shift can cash up is something you discover on the floor, not while building the plan.
Three steps, set up once
- Declare the coverageHow many people you need per time slot and per role, site by site. It is the part you already know by heart: here you write it down once.
- Set the rulesContracted hours, minimum rest, required skills, staff availability and preferences, closures and public holidays.
- Generate and reviewIn under a minute you have a week that respects all of it. Change what you want, lock the shifts that should stay, publish to the team.
What actually changes
The plan is born valid
Rest, hours and coverage are constraints on how it is built, not an audit afterwards: shifts that break them are never proposed.
Exceptions do not stop you
Approved leave, availability and absences enter the calculation automatically. You do not have to remember them.
Fairness is measured
Nights, weekends and holidays get distributed by looking at the history, not at the last person who said yes.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I have to accept the shifts as generated?
- No. Generation is a starting point: you can move, swap and lock the shifts you want to keep fixed, then regenerate the rest. Locked shifts are always respected.
- What happens if no valid solution exists?
- Sked Solve tells you before it starts, naming the constraint that makes the week impossible, such as a role with nobody available, so you know what to change.
- How long does the first setup take?
- The guided onboarding gets you to a first generated week in a few minutes. Coverage and rules are written once and hold for the following weeks.
