Product tour
Everything you need to run your team
Scheduling, time tracking, communication, and compliance, all working together in one platform.
A time clock with GPS and photo verification
Employees clock in from any device with GPS verification. See who is on-site and when, and help reduce buddy punching. Optional photo verification confirms identity on any device.
- Clock in from any browser, phone, or a shared kiosk. No app download required.
- Verify employees are on-site when they clock in. Prevent buddy punching.
- Set virtual boundaries around job sites. Block or flag clock-ins outside the zone with override requests.
Shift swaps, drops and pickups, handled in the app
Employees ask to swap, drop, release or split a shift from their phone; coworkers accept; managers approve where your rules say so. Open-shift pickups, absences and geofence overrides run through the same queue.
- Five shift-request types: swap, drop, release, split and find-replacement.
- Open-shift pickup requests and bids, approved by managers or supervisors, whichever you choose.
- Absence reporting with "get it covered": move to open shifts, find a replacement or delete.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the most common questions. The full list is on the FAQ page.
How long does setup take?
Many teams get their first schedule live quickly. Add your team, create a schedule, and start publishing right away.
Can employees clock in from their phones?
Yes. Any device with a browser works. Your team just opens Shift Terminal on their phone, tablet, or computer and clocks in. No app download required.
How does pricing work?
One plan with everything included: CA$49 per month flat for your whole team, after a 14-day free trial. It is priced per organization, not per user, so adding people never changes your bill. Pay annually for CA$490 and get two months free.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each organization is isolated with role-based access controls.
Do I need to pick a plan or add seats as I grow?
No. There is a single plan with every feature and unlimited users, so there is nothing to choose and no seats to buy. Admins can switch between monthly and annual billing, or cancel, anytime from Settings, and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
What if I only need time tracking, not scheduling?
Shift Terminal works as a standalone time clock too. Admins can turn off scheduling in Settings and your team gets a simplified experience focused on clock-in, clock-out, and timesheets.
What industries is Shift Terminal built for?
Shift Terminal works for any business with hourly or shift-based employees: restaurants, retail, healthcare, hospitality, construction, trades, and more. If your team works in shifts, it works for you.
