No office? Simplify employee scheduling with Connecteam

Back when I worked shifts as a grocery store bakery manager, our schedules were printed out on a sheet of paper and posted by the breakroom. But if your team is primarily working in the field, you have to be more intentional about keeping everyone connected. 

That's why Connecteam is one of the best employee management platforms for streamlining communication. It's mobile-first, making it easy for field teams to schedule and claim shifts, manage timesheets, and stay connected on the go.

If you're a contract vendor working with clients, you don't have to spend hours manually coordinating schedules. With a simple Zap (our word for automated workflows), you can automatically create new shifts in Connecteam from new Google Calendar events

This way, you can spend less time solving the schedule puzzle and focus on more strategic work.

The problem: Scheduling shifts each week takes hours because you're juggling multiple tools between clients and your own team. 

The solution: Coordinate and communicate schedules in less time with Connecteam and Zapier. Automatically add new shifts in Connecteam whenever you create a new event in Google Calendar, and keep everyone connected.
