Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to schedule employees in manufacturing?

Whether you're running a small local operation or a large, complex enterprise, intelligent scheduling software is the most effective way to manage your workforce. It helps you plan ahead, assess staffing levels and availability, manage shift swaps, and communicate schedules quickly, fairly, and transparently—all while staying compliant with local rules and regulations automatically. Employees benefit too, with predictable schedules that support better work-life balance.

What role does technology play in employee experience in manufacturing?

Technology plays a pivotal role in shaping the modern manufacturing employee experience. When frontline teams are equipped with intuitive, mobile-first tools — such as flexible pay options, shift swapping capabilities, and real-time scheduling — they feel empowered and supported in their daily work. This sense of support fosters trust, boosts retention, and helps attract the next generation of skilled talent to the industry.

Why do I need payroll software?
