Plan the way your industry works
A medical practice plans differently from a care ward, and a kitchen differently from a factory running three shifts. Tiveo has five planning methods for this, all built from the same building blocks. Pick the template for your industry and it sets up shift types, demand and planning method in one go.

Five planning methods from one toolkit
Each planning method is a setting per shift area. Planners can always assign shifts; the planning method switches the other building blocks on.
| Planning method | Requests | Self-scheduling | Open shifts | Fixed cycle | Swaps | Templates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Managers plan Planners assign shifts; gaps go out to everyone in the area as open shifts. | off | off | on | off | with approval |
|
| Request-based plan Employees send requests up to four weeks ahead; planners assign shifts and see them while doing so. | on | off | on | off | with approval |
|
| Self-scheduling Employees sign up for free slots up to the maximum demand; swaps need no approval. | off | on | on | off | without approval |
|
| Fixed rotation Everyone follows a fixed cycle; the pattern produces drafts, planners fill the gaps. | off | off | on | on | with approval |
|
| Rotation and requests A fixed cycle plus requests up to four weeks ahead for the days it does not fit. | on | off | on | on | with approval |

Common questions
If your question isn’t here, ask the developers directly.
Can I change the template later?
Yes. The template shows what it would create first, only adds what is still missing and sets the building blocks. Every setting can be changed on its own afterwards.
What if my industry is not listed?
Then choose the planning method that fits how you work and create shift types and demand yourself. You don’t need a template for that.
Can two areas plan differently?
Yes. The planning method applies per shift area: the kitchen schedules itself, the service team gets its roster from the manager.
Does Tiveo create the roster automatically?
No, your planners make the roster. While they assign shifts, they see demand, requests, absences and the check report alongside. A fixed rotation produces drafts, which they check and then publish.
See for yourself
In the demo, a joinery runs its workshop in two shifts. Try the grid, demand and check report there without signing up.
