Concept
In aviation, to keep one person’s mistake from becoming a serious accident,checklists, redundancy and standard operating procedures (SOP) — these three principles are absolute. Crew rosters are designed strictly on that basis.
Airffic Shift brings this aviation-grade discipline to rostering on every kind of frontline — healthcare, food service, retail, logistics. Rather than leaning on one person’s experience and intuition, itautomatically generates a monthly roster that follows every rule, from nothing but the conditions you enter.
Checklist Principle
Every staff member’s available days and hours, requested days off and consecutive-shift limits are listed out. Every condition is checked before the roster is generated.
Redundancy
We design teams that never depend on one individual, so minimum staffing holds even when someone calls in sick.
Standard Procedures (SOP)
Scheduling rules become data, so every planner produces a roster of the same quality. Handovers no longer cause variation.
Challenges we solve
- Building the monthly roster takes hours and falls hard on one person
- Everything rests on one person’s experience and memory, and nothing can be handed over
- Meeting staff requests, constraints and minimum-staffing rules all at once is difficult
- Sudden absences and shift changes are handled ad hoc
- Rebuilding the roster from scratch for every 28-, 30- and 31-day month
Key Features
Conditions in → monthly roster out
Enter staff names, available days, requested days off, consecutive-shift limits, minimum staffing and other conditions, and the AI generates the full monthly roster. It handles 28-, 30- and 31-day months and fills only the blanks — entries already confirmed, such as paid leave and fixed days off, are never overwritten.
Aviation-grade rule management
Shift symbols are turned into rules for every role — ◯ (on duty), 休 (day off), ★ (special role), ◉ (supervisor). Compound conditions such as “★ always falls the day before ◯” or “at least 4 staff on weekends” are followed exactly.
Works With Existing Data
Approved paid leave, special leave and fixed shifts stay exactly as they are; the AI fills in only what is still open. Nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.
Spreadsheet Sync
Airffic Shift connects to Google Sheets and writes the generated roster straight in, so your team keeps working in the tool it already knows.
