The WhatsApp scheduling problem

What managing shifts on WhatsApp looks like

✗

Manager types out weekly roster in a group chat

✗

Staff respond with availability and swap requests in thread

✗

Changes get missed — coverage gaps appear last-minute

✗

Someone comes in on the wrong day

✗

HR spends hours reconciling what actually happened vs. planned

✗

Breaks completely at scale — 400 staff, 12 outlets, 3 shifts

TimeCentral replaces all of this

AI builds the draft roster — manager refines, not rebuilds

Push notifications confirm schedule to every employee instantly

Swap requests routed through app — manager approves in one tap

MOM overtime checked before roster is published

Coverage gaps visible before shift starts — not after

Works for 1 outlet or 120 outlets simultaneously
