When someone calls in sick, the store still has to open.

Every missed shift has a cost. Coverage gaps lead to long lines, unsafe floor coverage, stressed managers, and lost sales.

Yet most stores still depend on group chats, phone chains, and manual scrambling every time someone calls in sick.

Shiftn automates sick-calls, shift offers, and coverage updates before anyone needs to panic so your store stays staffed and open.

How Shiftn Works For Retail

Shiftn does not replace your schedule. It makes it self-maintaining. Sick calls, shift offers, and coverage updates all happen automatically in the background without waking up your staffing coordinator at the crack of dawn.

Here is what automated calm looks like in real life:

1️⃣ An employee texts “I’m sick.”

Shiftn logs it instantly, marks them unavailable, and triggers coverage outreach.

2️⃣ Eligible staff receive a targeted offer.

No reply-all chaos. Only people who can actually work get the message.

3️⃣ The first “YES” wins the shift.

Shiftn assigns coverage automatically and prevents double booking.

4️⃣ Your schedule updates itself.

No manual cleanup. No “Who actually worked??”

5️⃣ The result:

Store stays staffed. No scramble. No stress.
