The ShiftManager app allows users to connect to ShiftManager. Once connected, users can see the tasks to be completed for the shift. Tasks can be updated in real-time, so that progress against the plan is available. All the information required about the task, including risk assessments, safe work instructions and survey plans are downloaded with the task so that they are there when you need them. Where network connectivity is not 100%, the app works offline and will sync automatically when connected again. Planners and managers can monitor progress as the shift progresses and make course corrections to be if required.
