LINE WORKS Launches Beta Version of 'Shift Management' App to Streamline Scheduling

LINE WORKS Corporation, provider of the 'LINE WORKS' business communication tool and various AI products (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takeshi Shimaoka), has announced the launch of the beta version of its 'Shift Management' app, which integrates with 'LINE WORKS' to streamline the creation and management of shift tables.

This application is added via the 'LINE WORKS' app directory and is available free of charge.

Overview of the 'Shift Management' App The 'Shift Management' app allows users to smoothly and easily perform everything from creating shift tables to accepting, submitting, and confirming shift preferences, all within 'LINE WORKS', which is used for daily business operations.

Shift managers can create shift tables on a dedicated screen and select staff members to request shift preferences in bulk.

Staff can access the staff screen from the app's talk room and submit their preferred work hours simply by selecting available dates and times.

The app supports displaying shift submission status by store and sending reminder notifications to members who have not submitted their shifts. This aids in streamlining management tasks and ensuring smooth operations, even at sites managing multiple stores or a large number of staff.

This reduces the hassle of individual contact and adjustments, enabling easy shift management.

Main Features Accepting shift preferences and checking status (for managers) Managers can set required staff numbers and working hours for each date and send requests to targeted members in bulk. It also supports bulk settings using templates, reducing the need for repetitive input.

Submitting shift preferences Staff can submit their preferred shifts by selecting desired time slots or days they are unable to work on the submission screen. They can also reuse past submissions by duplicating them, further reducing input labor.

Creating shift tables (for managers) Managers can create shift tables based on the collected preferences. By referencing these preferences, managers can reduce their workload. Additionally, the app supports automatic staff assignment based on preferences and work conditions (such as available time or days of the week), further increasing efficiency.

Checking shifts Created shift tables are shared with relevant members in bulk. Since sharing happens via talk rooms, it helps prevent missed sharing or confirmation. The shift confirmation screen also allows members to request shift swaps or respond to requests from others.

Other Convenient Features The app notifies members via talk rooms about submission deadlines and reminders on the day of their shift, helping prevent forgotten submissions or misunderstandings about work schedules.

Pricing This application is available free of charge, regardless of your current subscription plan.
