Effortless shift management with Shift Control in c.net

Efficiently maintain required workforce levels while streamlining timesheets and approvals with accuracy.  

Help workers pick shifts that fit into their schedule easily, from anywhere, at any time.

Traditional shift management is failing to meet modern expectations

Managing a workforce can be complex and time-consuming, particularly for organisations with high volumes of workers, multiple teams and varying shift patterns.

Shift tracking challenges for employers and workers

The process of tracking attendance, approving timesheets and ensuring accurate invoicing can quickly become expensive due to significant levels of admin.  

For contingent workers, keeping track of which shifts are available and when they are scheduled is often challenging, as they juggle emails, paper timesheets, and calendars to stay organised.  

This stress not only increases the risk of errors but also reduces retention, where workers seek employers with more manageable and reliable scheduling. 

A new approach to shift management

Shift Control is a new platform launched by Comensura, in our proprietary VMS c.net, offering effortless shift management and oversight functionality, whilst enabling workers to organise and communicate their work schedule in real time.

Benefits of Comensura’s new shift management solution Shift Control

Simplifying shift selection and management processes without compromising efficiency or quality. 

Employers post shifts that need filling with all the required information for workers to sign up. With candidate information all digitally stored, only workers with the required experience or qualifications can apply.

The platform sends notifications to the most relevant workers as soon as shifts are posted, reducing time to fill rates, and increasing efficiency for both employers and workers.

Employers can approve selected timesheets with a simple click or use the auto-approval function - which approves timesheets once attendance markers are completed.

Our worker facing app 'Shift and Time' shows workers the shifts they have signed up to work, the shifts available and enables them to submit timesheets digitally, ensuring a better experience.

Workers can log in to their shift using a QR code instead of using manual processes. Employers are immediately able to see who has worked which shifts, ensuring pay is accurate and preventing human error.

With everything digitally managed, there is no need for emailed shift requests, chase up phone calls, sign in booths, clipboards, shared spreadsheets, or folders of timesheets.

Customer success stories

Southwark Council

Southwark Council

“Comensura has offered excellent support during this recruitment process, from setting me up as a new recruiting manager to negotiating with the third party. Comensura are very approachable and has patiently guided me through each step of the process. I’m very pleased with the outcome. 

Information Governance Manager, Southwark Council

 “I wanted to provide you with some positive feedback on my recent contact with Alieh Yadegari at Comensura. I have used Comensura before, albeit not for a very long time, so am coming at this from a novice perspective. Alieh could not have been more helpful in assisting me with the process. No question (of which I had a lot) was considered silly and she was very amenable and patient in supporting me with a ‘walk through’ guide on the phone of how to place an order through to a booking. It was a really friendly and positive experience and I would like this to be noted in terms of the council’s contract with Comensura.”
