Labor costs
One of your biggest costs, watched live.

Time clock
Time on the clock, down to the minute.
Crews clock in from their phones, and location checks flag any clock-in from somewhere unexpected.
- Shift alarms and break reminders alert your crews for you
- Prevent early clock-ins
- Set mandatory clock-out times to save money over time
- Export approved hours for your payroll provider
Spend less time scheduling
More time on your guests.
The details that keep a fast-moving crew clear on the job.
Clear tasks, every shift
Whose turn is it to break down the stage? Assign tasks to any crew member or shift so everyone knows what to do and where to go. Start from scratch or use a template for the recurring ones, and the list gets cleared in time to catch the next set.
Credentials on file
Attach licenses, certifications, contracts, and records right to an employee profile so you can see who is cleared for what. Alerts arrive before a document expires, so compliance never slips by accident.
Integrations that skip the export
Shift Amp connects to the tools you already run, including payroll and point of sale, so employee and sales data lands where you need it without exporting, importing, and switching back and forth.
