Features
Support for 2-2-3, 2-3-2, 4-on-4-off, and custom rotation patterns. Auto-generate the full calendar, track shift equity across teams, and ensure minimum staffing per shift.
Assign inbound and outbound appointments to specific dock doors. Schedule loading/unloading crews, prevent double-booking, and track appointment duration by load type.
Define zones (receiving, putaway, picking, packing, shipping, returns) and assign workers per shift. Track zone coverage, balance workload, and dynamically reallocate when demand shifts.
Track forklift, scissor lift, pallet jack, and other equipment certifications with expiry dates. Prevent uncertified operators from being assigned to restricted tasks. Get expiry alerts in advance.
Senzii flags potential overtime before it happens — when a worker is approaching 40 hours, when a shift extension would trigger OT, and when rotation patterns create chronic OT exposure.
Mark workers as temp, set their agency, track hours separately, and generate agency billing reports. Auto-fill coverage gaps with available temp workers based on skills and availability.
Manage shift transitions with digital handover notes. Outgoing shift logs incomplete tasks, incoming shift sees priorities. No more "I didn't know dock 4 was backed up" moments.
Stagger breaks and lunches to maintain zone coverage. Senzii automatically schedules break windows based on shift start times and coverage requirements — no more zone gaps during lunch.
Senzii enforces meal break requirements, rest periods, maximum consecutive shifts, and mandatory days off based on state and federal labor laws. Compliance violations are flagged before they happen.
Use Cases
High-volume picking and packing with seasonal spikes. Senzii scales temp labor up and down, manages zone reallocation during peak, and tracks overtime during extended shifts.
Inbound receiving, cross-docking, and outbound shipping with dock scheduling. Manage 24/7 operations with shift rotations and zone-based labor allocation.
Time-limited exposure zones with mandatory warm-up breaks. Senzii schedules workers in and out of temperature-controlled zones with automatic rotation enforcement.
Multi-client labor allocation with separate billing per client account. Track hours by client project and generate accurate cost-recovery reports.
Raw material staging, WIP tracking, and finished goods scheduling. Coordinate with production lines and ensure material handlers are available when lines need replenishment.
Route dispatch scheduling, driver check-in windows, and loader assignments. Manage morning and evening sort windows with appropriate staffing.

How It Works
Import workers with certifications, skills, zones, and shift preferences. Mark temp workers and assign agencies. Set minimum staffing levels per zone per shift.
Choose your rotation pattern (2-2-3, 4-on-4-off, custom), define zones, and schedule dock appointments. Senzii auto-fills the calendar and flags coverage gaps and OT risks.
Real-time dashboards show zone coverage, OT exposure, and dock utilization. Cross-shift handover notes keep transitions smooth. Workers get SMS reminders and can swap shifts.
