Automatic forwarding.
Link a service number to a duty. No more manual switching. (Available for Cisco UCCX. Other environments on request.)
Effecta Connect: Shifts
Shifts schedules duties, lets colleagues sign in, sign out and swap with one tap, and automatically forwards service numbers to whoever is on duty at that moment. Everyone on duty is called at the same time. Whoever answers has the call.
In the app
This is how Shifts works on a phone: your duties for today with a button to sign in, the weekly calendar and takeover requests from colleagues who want to swap.

By yourself, with or without the planner’s approval.

Who it is for

On the web page you assign duties or let colleagues sign up themselves. All sign-ups are visible in the roster.
More about Shifts
Most duty roster apps plan who is working and stop there. Shifts is a duty roster app that goes one step further, because in on-call duty the problem is not the roster but the call forwarding. The roster says colleague A is on duty. The service number is still set to colleague B from yesterday. The two drift apart the moment someone is ill, swaps or forgets to switch. By linking the number to the duty instead of to a person, that manual step disappears.
For the planner this means less checking. For the employee it means a swap in the app takes effect immediately, without anyone having to knock on the door of IT or the telephony administrator. And for the caller it does not matter who is on duty: the number is the same and the call is answered.
On-call duty and backup cover are not a side issue in healthcare and at emergency response centres. A missed escalation is an incident. Shifts shows who is on duty now and who is next, and rings everyone on duty at once when a call comes in. Roster and forwarding have become one thing.
