ZoomShift

ZoomShift is a workforce scheduling and time tracking platform built for hourly teams, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company focuses on simplifying the scheduling process for small and mid-size businesses that rely on shift-based workforces. SCHEDULING AND SHIFT MANAGEMENT At the core of ZoomShift is an employee scheduling tool that replaces manual spreadsheet-based scheduling with drag-and-drop templates. Managers can build weekly schedules in minutes, copy previous schedules, and make real-time adjustments. The platform automatically notifies team members of schedule changes through text, push notifications, and email, and can remind employees before their shifts start. Employees can view their schedules, set availability preferences, request time off, swap shifts, and pick up open shifts through the web or mobile app. TIME TRACKING AND PAYROLL ZoomShift includes web and mobile time clocks that allow employees to clock in from anywhere. The system supports GPS tracking and IP address whitelisting to prevent buddy punching and ensure location accuracy. Managers can block early clock-ins, prevent overtime, and easily fix missed punches. Timesheets are automatically compiled online with customizable payroll export options. PTO AND LEAVE MANAGEMENT The platform handles time-off requests through its web and mobile apps, with configurable approval workflows. Managers can set minimum notice requirements, restrict time off on busy days, and enable automatic approval processes. PTO tracking includes balance monitoring and accrual rate management for full transparency. TEAM COMMUNICATION ZoomShift includes built-in team messaging that supports private, group, and company-wide conversations. Teams can share text, images, PDFs, documents, and GIFs. The system automatically adds new employees during onboarding and removes former employees, with read status indicators and privacy controls. MOBILE EXPERIENCE Native iOS and Android apps provide full scheduling and time tracking functionality on the go, allowing both managers and employees to stay connected and make changes in real time.
