Shift Start. The real-time labor picture.

The first hour is too expensive to waste scrambling.

You have a real-time read on every machine, material, and production plan. Labor is the one signal still assembled by hand, and it eats the first 30 to 50 minutes of the shift. Shift Start puts the whole picture in one text before the shift starts: who's in, who's out, and the gaps to cover.

The first hour is too expensive to waste scrambling.

The whole picture in one text.

Who's in and who's out this shift, plus how the last shift ran, so you know what you're walking into.

10 to 12 hours

Pella's supervisors stopped reconstructing the labor picture by hand.

70%

fewer no-call no-shows

The same TeamSense phone number, no app to install or anywhere to log into

The first hour gets eaten before the line is running.

The schedule says who was supposed to be here, not who is. Supervisors find out after the shift starts, in pieces: a voicemail, a text, a punch report that lands too late to help.

It costs the first hour

While the picture gets assembled by hand from a phone, a clipboard, and three or four systems, machines sit idle and the line waits.

The gaps no one catches

Some call out. Some don't. The no-show who never texted and the early-out no one logged never reach HR. The schedule misses them, and so does the punch clock.

The handoff that dies in the hallway

The quality hold, the station running slow, the gap patched mid-shift — it lives in the outgoing supervisor's head until they walk out. The next one starts cold.

How It Works

One text at the top of the shift. The whole labor picture.

The digest lands before the shift does
Minutes before the shift, one text shows everyone already accounted for by name: the call-offs, the planned time off, the late arrivals.
Record what the schedule missed
A few taps from the floor close the gaps. The no-call no-shows and early outs that never reached HR.
Recorded and tagged
Every event flows onto the attendance record, tagged to the supervisor who logged it, for HR to review and approve. The picture is complete and current.

Everything the supervisors need to set the shift up for success

Know what you're walking into

Shift handover usually happens in a hallway, if it happens at all. At shift end, the outgoing supervisor leaves a note. At shift start, it's waiting.
 

  • 1 People, equipment, production, quality, supply, supervisors can add shift handoff notes on their phone
  • 2 Next shift's supervisor gets a digest on their phone, instead of hoping for a hallway conversation
  • 3 Notes stay on the record, so the digital shift handover is there to look back on instead of living in one person's memory.
Know what you're walking into

It works the morning you turn it on.

Shift Start does not wait on an integration project.

  • 1 A supervisor needs a phone number in TeamSense. No app to install, enrollment in under a minute
  • 2 The labor picture reconciles from the call-offs TeamSense already collects plus the supervisor's own floor confirmation
  • 3 HR reviews and approves what the supervisor captured from the first morning, no integrations needed
It works the morning you turn it on.

Better with your systems. Never dependent on them.

Connect scheduling and punch clock, whatever you run, and the picture gets richer and more automatic.

  • 1 When integrated, planned shifts and punch data reconcile against TeamSense attendance data
  • 2 The supervisor doesn't have to key anything in
  • 3 Shift Start pulls from a richer picture
Better with your systems. Never dependent on them.

Complete picture for you to make the call

Shift Start hands the supervisor a complete, current labor picture, and tools to act on it

  • 1 Supervisors get potential gaps while the first hour is still ahead of them
  • 2 Supervisors set up a form to fill the shift and send it to the qualified group for opt in
  • 3 Employees get a fair shot at hours, supervisors get a fast backfill, and HR gets a record of it all
Complete picture for you to make the call

A 4:30am text, and the gap was covered before the shift started.

Assa Abloy's Sargent plant starts at 5am. One morning, two operators were already out on planned time off. Then a third ran into trouble on the way in.
