Scheduling software company OnShift releases iPad app

Scheduling and shift management company OnShift has released an iPad version of its software as part of its strategy to support mobile workers.

Cleveland-based OnShift’s software is targeted at hospitals, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Open shift messages can be sent to available staff via text, email and automated phone call.

The company says its scheduling software can help clients reduce labor costs by preventing overtime, mitigating regulatory risk and improving efficiencies through automated scheduling. Replacement workers can be found in minutes rather than hours, according to the company.

“OnShift on the iPad supports our commitment to streamline complex scheduling processes into simple tasks,” CEO Mark Woodka said in a statement.

In addition to the iPad app, OnShift’s technology operates on the software-as-a-service model that users can access through web browsers.

Last year, OnShift raised a $2.3 million investment round led by Pittsburgh-based Draper Triangle Ventures.
