A digital shift book is a software-based solution for the complete documentation of all shift processes, tasks, events, handovers and instructions in real time. It replaces conventional, paper-based shift protocols by centralised data records available at any time, audit trails and automatic time stamps
Across all industries, there are a variety of application areas in production, logistics, chemicals, the food industry, automotive manufacturing, energy and water management, as well as in the facility and service management.
Shift handover refers to the transfer of shift-related information from the outgoing to the incoming shift, including open tasks, faults and shift events, plant status and applicable instructions. With digital shift handover, this information is recorded in software during the shift and made available to the incoming shift in a structured form. Many plants keep the verbal handover briefing, but it is then based on the documented entries. Since every entry is stored with a time stamp and author, it remains traceable weeks later which information was passed on to whom and when.
In production, automatic time stamps, audit trails and complete protocols provide more transparent shift changes, faster error cause analysis and better traceability of batches and qualifications.
Advantages for the production: reduced process times, fewer downtimes, improved resource planning, faster audits and higher product quality due to clear instructions and consistent processes.
Staff benefit from transparent handovers, less duplication of work, less paperwork and mobile, location-independent data entry, which leads to fewer errors. Managers receive real-time reports, better KPI transparency, optimised shift planning, greater compliance and faster response times in the event of deviations.
Overall, productivity, safety and employee motivation are increased due to clear processes and simple documentation.
Companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and automotive industries already rely on SHIFTGURU.
A digital shift log performs the same function that the traditional paper shift log has served in industry for decades: providing complete documentation of what happened during a shift and passing this information on to the next team. At the same time, it eliminates the typical shortcomings of the paper format:
All of this is eliminated when the documentation is stored in a structured, searchable format within a central application that multiple people can access simultaneously.
Basically, anything that’s relevant during a shift and needs to be communicated. SHIFTGURU comes with a built-in “Events” form that lets you record shift events. There are also other standard forms available that you can customize as you see fit. And with the Checklist Designer, you can create new checklists tailored exactly to your situation.
The handoff is no longer limited to a verbal briefing at the end of the shift, during which, as experience has shown, details can be lost. Instead, there is a structured digital shift handoff that the incoming shift can view immediately. The next shift leader can easily view open items, ongoing tasks, and special notes even after the handoff is complete.
Yes. This is one of the key advantages over paper: Pending tasks are displayed centrally on the workers’ dashboard, so they’re no longer forgotten. To track progress, the shift supervisor can view the task list, where they can see the status, the person responsible, and the due date for all tasks—including an alert if the due date has passed.
In addition, tasks can be created directly from events and are then linked to one another. This ensures that the cause and the action taken remain linked and can be found without a lengthy search.
Yes. You can add photos to all shift log entries (events, tasks, instructions, information, etc.). In addition, you can attach documents or files to tasks. For custom data entry forms, you can add a control for uploading files in the Checklist Designer.
Yes. You can filter and search for entries in the shift entry tables. In addition, we are currently developing an AI-powered search function that will allow you to search for content related to your shift from anywhere.
For manufacturing, logistics, the chemical industry, the food industry, automotive manufacturing, the energy and water sectors, as well as facility and service management.
Yes. SHIFTGURU has a physical model that can represent multiple locations.
Yes. In addition, SHIFTGURU allows you to have different shift models within a single shift, e.g., a 3-shift operation Monday through Friday and a 2-shift operation on Saturday and Sunday.
Both. You can run SHIFTGURU in the cloud or set up an on-premises installation at your location.
Desktops, tablets, and smartphones are supported. We recommend using the app on a desktop or tablet.
An internet connection (cloud) or intranet connection (on-premises) is required to sync with the main system. However, SHIFTGURU can otherwise be used offline.
Yes. SHIFTGURU has a very detailed permissions model based on the ABAC system.
For cloud installations, backups are created automatically on a regular basis. Backup schedules are agreed upon individually with the customer. In addition, you can create backups manually to provide a second layer of protection. For on-premises installations, the customer is responsible for backups.
Yes. SHIFTGURU can generally be connected to third-party systems via a REST API. Specific interfaces can be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. SHIFTGURU can be integrated with an existing Active Directory. Additionally, single sign-on (SSO) can be enabled by integrating with an SSO provider.
iMes supports you during the implementation process with key user training and, if needed, user training as well. In addition, one of our staff members is always available to assist you during business hours.
The development of SHIFTGURU focuses on intuitive, easy-to-use functionality, so the learning curve for your employees is relatively gentle. To provide support, we offer key-user training sessions where we explain the application in detail to your key users. In addition, the user manual can be accessed at any time directly from within the application.
Yes. Thanks to our permission system, your workers see only the information relevant to them by default, so they aren’t overwhelmed by unnecessary details. The standard data entry forms are clearly structured and clearly alert users to missing or incorrect entries. For your own checklists, you can use a wizard control that guides users through the checklist. You can clearly describe each field in your checklists using tooltips and notes.
Yes. SHIFTGURU is currently available in 23 languages. Users can switch the language directly within the client without having to reload the application.
We provide support via email and phone during standard German business hours. Our support is also redundant, which means you’ll have at least two points of contact with us. Additional options may be available upon request.
The standard maintenance package includes 2 updates per year. Update cycles that differ from the standard can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
