Import employees with their skills, certifications, availability, and hourly limits. Set up locations, shift types, and rules once — Senzii remembers them.
Drag and drop shifts onto the calendar, or copy last week's schedule forward. The auto-matcher suggests the best employee for each shift — or fills them all automatically.
One click publishes the schedule and sends push notifications to every employee's phone. Swaps, time-off requests, and confirmations happen automatically in the app.
Senzii goes beyond a simple calendar grid. Every schedule is checked for compliance, coverage gaps, and overtime before it goes live.
Visually build schedules on a weekly or monthly grid. Drag shifts, resize them, or copy them across days. The interface works equally well on desktop and mobile.
The system suggests the best employee for each shift based on skills, certifications, availability, hourly limits, and fairness. Fill an entire week's schedule in one click.
Before you publish, Senzii checks for break violations, overtime thresholds, consecutive-day limits, and expired certifications. Fix issues before they become problems.
Save any week as a reusable template. Perfect for recurring schedules, seasonal patterns, or multi-location operations. Apply a template, auto-match, and publish.
Publishing a schedule sends instant push notifications to every employee. They see their shifts, get reminders, and can request swaps — all from their phone.
See projected labor costs in real-time as you build. Adjust shifts to stay within budget. Export scheduled and actual hours to QuickBooks, ADP, or CSV for payroll.
If you're still using Excel or Google Sheets to make schedules, you're losing hours every week and risking compliance violations.
