Retail chain
Retail runs on shifts across many stores. Schedule shifts, see lateness against the plan, handle leave and swaps through requests, and compare stores in one place.
In plain words
Retail runs on shifts: different hours in every store, weekends, weekly offs, last-minute swaps and a lot of leave. Head office wants one picture, store managers want to run their own team, and staff want to know what their week looks like.
dayFlow gives each store its own schedule and rules, lets a store manager approve only their team, handles leave and swaps as requests rather than messages, and puts every store in the same reports for head office.
The challenge
Today
With dayFlow
How dayFlow helps
Set working time per store or per person, generate days automatically and use the roster for the days that differ. A weekly grid shows shifts, offs and leave together.
In practice
A manager looks after selected employees and sees, approves and decides requests only for them. Staff ask for leave and swaps from the app instead of by message.
In practice
The same reports cover all stores: hours, lateness, overtime and leave, with charts. Compare stores, find the one with a Monday problem, export for payroll.
In practice
A normal day
09:00
Store teams clock in on their phones in the store's work area.
11:00
A shift swap request arrives; the store manager approves it.
18:00
Leave and sick notes are handled from the app.
Monday
Head office compares stores in the same reports.
Examples
A store opening at 9
Staff clock in on arrival inside the store's work area. The manager sees who is late before the doors open.
A peak weekend
Extra hours are counted at your rate and overtime requests are decided on the dashboard on Monday morning.
A shift swap
Two colleagues agree to swap Saturday. One sends a request from the app and the manager approves it; the schedule updates.
