Key Findings & Highlights:
NelsonHall’s vendor assessment analyzes Shiftboard’s offerings and capabilities in Workforce Management services. Founded in Seattle, Washington, in 2008 as one of the market’s first SaaS-based workforce management solutions, Shiftboard was initially focused on shift management for the healthcare industry but has since emerged as a global provider of processes and tools helping “always-on” business operations optimize their workforce scheduling processes.
In 2020, Shiftboard merged with Vancouver, British Columbia-based SchedulePro, whose EDP Software beginnings date back to 1981 when it was an IT consulting firm. The merger allowed the two companies to maximize their similar software, while leveraging the strengths of their scheduling applications. SchedulePro held vast experience in high compliance industries, while Shiftboard specialized in highly dynamic worksites across multiple industries. This combined technology offers a comprehensive scheduling solution for “mission-critical” industries, such as manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and public safety.
Shiftboard has ~65 employees supporting its cloud-based, scheduling-focused Workforce Management offering. Shiftboard is not a broad-based workforce management suite. Its focus is highly specific scheduling deliverables for industries. ~650 clients representing ~1m users use Shiftboard.
