Smart Scheduling
Build a roster that reflects the work, not just the calendar.
Inside helps managers plan shifts around roles, skills, availability, leave and operating needs — then publish changes directly to the frontline team.
Book a scheduling demoA workable roster has more constraints than rows and columns.
A schedule must place the right person into the right role and time while accounting for availability, approved leave, overlapping work, rest periods and operating coverage. Spreadsheets show the final grid but do not manage the decisions behind it. Inside gives managers a structured scheduling workspace with the employee and workforce context needed to make those decisions more clearly.
How it works
- Set the operating structure. Configure locations, departments, roles, shift templates and relevant rules.
- Capture workforce inputs. Bring employee roles, availability, leave and employment information into the planning view.
- Build the roster. Create shifts manually, use templates or apply assisted assignment workflows available in the deployment.
- Review exceptions. Check overlaps, missing role coverage, availability conflicts and relevant overtime or rest alerts.
- Publish and manage changes. Release the roster, notify employees and handle swaps or replacements as work changes.

Value by persona
Spend less time rebuilding the roster and chasing availability across messages.
See workforce coverage and unresolved schedule issues across the operation.
Keep leave and employee information closer to schedule decisions.
Receive a clearer, current schedule and a structured way to request changes.
Scheduling is more useful when it continues beyond publish.
In Inside, the published shift becomes the reference point for attendance and timesheet review. Managers can compare what was planned with what happened instead of treating the roster as a separate file that becomes obsolete after the week begins.
