Crew scheduling. Clear approvals. One shared schedule.
ShiftForge is a crew scheduling application I created around a practical operational need: keeping rotating crews, Day and Night coverage, and schedule changes organized. It gives supervisors a workspace for planning and staffing, while employees get a focused view of their work and the requests they need to make.

THE PROBLEM
Every change affects the bigger picture.
Rotating schedules involve more than assigning names to dates. Time off, overtime, on-call coverage, and shift exchanges all affect who is available to work. ShiftForge brings these connected workflows into one application, with clear ownership and approval steps.
TWO ROLES. ONE OFFICIAL SCHEDULE.
