Build better schedules in less time

Drag-and-drop shifts, built-in availability, mobile access—it’s everything you need to build and share the schedule without last-minute calls or sticky notes.

Cut down on missed shifts and schedule confusion

Staff can check their shifts, request time off, and pick up extras—all from their phone. That means fewer missed shifts and fewer surprises.

Onboard new hires before they hit the floor

No more chasing paperwork. New employees can complete W-4s, I-9s, and direct deposit forms before their first shift. Everything syncs to timekeeping and payroll automatically.

Reduce compliance risk every shift

TimeForge enforces wage rules, break tracking, and overtime protections automatically. Stay compliant and audit-ready without extra admin work.

“We’re a dynamic organization. Things change, and the technology needs to fit what’s happening at the stores. [TimeForge] is much more than an all-in-one package… I get much better support than I’ve ever gotten with any other scheduling product… You guys are on top of it.”
