What is Zoho Shifts?
Zoho Shifts is a staff scheduling and time tracking app designed for businesses with shift-based teams—think retail, hospitality, healthcare, or field services.
You can schedule shifts, manage availability, enable mobile clock-in/clock-out, and prep payroll reports—all in one place.
Let’s dive into the features most people miss:
Feature #1: Open Shift Pickup
Let your team claim shifts that work for them
Instead of assigning every shift manually, just post available shifts to the calendar. Team members can pick up what fits their availability.
No more text threads, last-minute scrambles, or awkward “Can someone cover this?” messages.
It’s a simple way to make scheduling more flexible—for everyone.
Feature #2: Location-Based Clock-In
Prevent time theft with GPS tracking
Zoho Shifts lets you set up geofencing—so employees can only clock in or out when they’re physically at the job site.
This is especially useful for businesses with multiple locations, mobile teams, or field staff. No more early clock-ins from the parking lot or remote punches from home.
It’s like having a timecard with a built-in GPS.
Feature #3: Payroll-Ready Reports
Spend less time on timesheets
When it’s time to run payroll, Zoho Shifts gives you reports that include:
- Total hours worked
- Break times
- Overtime
- Missed punches
- Attendance trends
You can export these or integrate with your payroll system, so payday isn’t a headache.
Shift Management Without the Chaos
Whether you’re managing 3 employees or 30, Zoho Shifts helps streamline your scheduling, time tracking, and payroll prep—without spreadsheets or stress.
