A tool for every stakeholder and realtime info on the status of the planning

In the convention business, many stakeholders collaborate each day to find the necessary staff for a succesfull event. Each stakeholder has their own needs and contributions to the overall process. Event mangers want to input and update their requirements. Planners need to match availabiltity and requirements. Agencies need to receive timely staffing orders and deliver quality personnel. Some employees may get to pick shifts. Floormanagers need realtime access to team composition updates and to enter times and performance.
Shifter is designed to do all this and to provide transparency to all.

Full end-to-end coverage, discrete access to the process

All business functions have their own responsibles. Each step in the process is managed by different people. Some only contribute by adding real-time data, others are responsible and may correct and approve. These divisions may also vary by staffing model (BPO, MS, Staffing agencies, employed staff).

Shifter can handle all diffferent forms in one global planning, giving each stakeholder access to only the relevant functions. Superusers can track overall progress and identify bottlenecks in availability, process or quality.
