Shop, warehouse and checkout have different needs
A schedule can look full even when checkout cover, a warehouse role or an experienced closing manager is missing.

Employee scheduling for shops - staff around opening hours, deliveries and promotions
Plan checkout, sales, warehouse and closing shifts from opening to closing across stores. Collect campaign staffing, product deliveries, changes and hours in one schedule.
When sales and product delivery fall on the same weekend
There is a sale at the weekend, a store lacks checkout coverage, and the warehouse needs extra hands. VagtPilot helps to see coverage by role and location and send a message to the right store team.
A staffed store may still lack the right role
Campaigns require rapid adjustment
Sales, product deliveries and weekend pressures change the staffing, but messages and hours must still follow the plan.
Multiple locations create multiple versions
If each shop has its own spreadsheet, it becomes difficult to track staffing, hours and changes across locations.
This is how you plan across stores and warehouses
Staff according to opening hours and promotions
Match checkout, sales, warehouse and store manager with opening times, sales, product deliveries and weekends.
More stores without more spreadsheets
Group locations and roles in the same structure, so that head office and store managers work from the same plan.
Messages to the right store
Send changes to one location, one role, or the weekend shift, so employees don't get irrelevant messages.
Three situations from the store manager's week
Weekend with sale
Plan extra checkout and sales shifts, and send the briefing to those who come into the relevant store.
Product delivery requires stock coverage
Make sure the warehouse role is covered without moving hours manually between multiple spreadsheets.
