Best Software to Manage 24-Hour Work Shifts

HR leaders and operations managers know that scheduling around-the-clock shifts isn’t merely about filling in a calendar — it also involves balancing staffing needs and legal compliance while making sure that operations run smoothly and that the staff is not overworked.

Challenges like rotating shifts and overlapping hours can complicate things quickly. Manual scheduling tools often create more problems than they solve — they trigger conflicts and cause staffing gaps. Aside from slowing things down, these also hurt team morale and contribute to absenteeism or turnover, especially if workers feel the system is unfair or inconsistent.

That’s why more businesses are moving toward an automated shift scheduler like Adaptive Pay.

What shift scheduling software can do

With a shift scheduler, HR teams can automate and simplify the process of managing work shifts, making it especially helpful in industries that operate 24/7. Using these tools makes it easier to ensure full shift coverage while improving workforce efficiency and supporting employee well-being.

To get the most value from your system, make sure the shift scheduling software has the following features:

• Automated scheduling to reduce manual work and speed up shift planning

• Payroll integration that syncs time and attendance data with payroll to streamline salary processing

• Self-scheduling options to empower staff to view schedules and choose available shifts

• Compliance tracking to flag potential issues so your business stays aligned with labour laws and internal policies

You can reduce the risks of under- or over-scheduling with the right system in place and maintain a healthier, more efficient work environment overall.

How to choose a reliable shift scheduling solution

If you need a shift scheduler that’s both user-friendly and capable of supporting complex scheduling needs, Adaptive Pay is worth considering.

Designed for businesses in Singapore, Adaptive Pay offers a full-featured HR platform at a clear, upfront price — no extra fees or hidden charges.

This software adapts to your business structure and allows full configuration based on how your teams operate. All HR modules — from payroll and attendance to leave and claims — are fully connected, making it easier to manage everything in one place.

Smart integration for smoother payroll and compliance

To calculate accurate payroll, Adaptive Pay automatically pulls data from different areas, like attendance and claims. It reduces the need for manual checks and ensures that all departments are consistent with their attendance and payroll information.

It also stays aligned with Singapore’s statutory bodies like IRAS and CPF, so you don’t have to worry about compliance audits or data gaps during reporting.

Real-time tracking and full shift visibility

With Adaptive Pay’s attendance and rostering tools, you and your managers can get real-time insight into staff movements. Features like selfie check-ins and geo-fencing make it easier to verify attendance across all locations.

You can also customise multiple shift patterns and send timely shift reminders — helping employees stay informed and operations stay on track.

Key features of our attendance software

Our attendance solution is packed with features designed to simplify shift management and improve accuracy. Its shift scheduler supports both HR teams and employees across all types of work environments, especially those operating 24/7.

Smarter rostering made simple

Easily configure and manage multiple shifts and overtime schedules for different employee groups. Send timely reminders about shift changes so staff stay informed and prepared. Whether you're handling fixed schedules or rotating shifts, the system makes it easier to stay organised.

Flexible clock-in options

Employees can clock in and out through a variety of secure methods, including a mobile app, web platform, or biometric devices. The mobile app gives employees the flexibility to check schedules and mark attendance from anywhere, anytime.

Face recognition and selfie attendance

Adaptive Pay uses advanced facial recognition powered by Microsoft Azure, delivering a secure and smooth experience. Employees can mark attendance on the shift scheduler by taking a selfie, which captures both their face and surroundings, adding an extra layer of authenticity.

Accurate GPS and location tracking

Use GPS and geofencing for precise attendance with precision, and assign pre-approved locations so staff can mark their attendance only from those places. For added security, the app activates GPS when scanning QR codes at designated entry points, reducing the chance of false check-ins.

Integrated with your payroll system

Our shift scheduler is integrated with the payroll module to handle calculations for overtime and public holidays, saving you time and reducing manual input. This ensures that every paycheck reflects accurate, up-to-date information.
