We automate the rulebook,
so your people can run the plant
WFSS is a workforce scheduling software built for unionized plants. In most operations, foremen spend up to 60% of their time managing schedules by hand. We automate the complexity, so the people who run your plant can actually do that.
The Reality Today
Someone calls in sick. The foreman pulls up three spreadsheets, a seniority list, and a set of rules that exist only in one person's head. By the time the schedule is rebuilt, it's wrong somewhere else, and there's a grievance waiting to happen.
This isn't a process problem. It's a math problem. The combinations are too complex for any spreadsheet. The cost of getting it wrong (overtime, unfilled positions, union friction) compounds every single cycle.
What Changes with WFSS
Your operation runs on hundreds of rules. Most scheduling software ignores that complexity. WFSS doesn't: we encode every rule and enforce them coherently, seamlessly, constantly.
Schedule builds that took hours are generated in seconds.
The platform takes in your data and constraints, then builds a complete, rule-compliant schedule automatically. Foremen review and approve. They don't build from scratch.
Every collective agreement rule is enforced on every assignment, automatically.
Seniority, overtime caps, mandatory rest periods, skill qualifications, departmental bumping rights — every clause from your collective agreement is encoded and enforced in real time. No rule gets skipped because someone was in a rush.
The multi-step cascade for filling temporary vacancies runs instantly.
When someone calls in sick, WFSS runs the full replacement cascade, checking seniority, qualifications, availability, and overtime limits, then surfacing the right candidates in order. No manual calling, no guesswork, no missed steps.
Every scheduling decision is logged and traceable.
Every assignment, override, and replacement carries a full audit trail: who was considered, why they were selected or skipped, and which rules applied. When a grievance lands, you answer with data.
