Workforce Management

Employee App

Cut scheduling mix-ups, no-shows and missed messages with one mobile app your Canadian shift-based team keeps in their pocket.

The employee app built for hourly, shift-based teams

Hourly managers aren't at a desk. They're on the floor, on the line, at the counter, or between sites. The Tanda app gives them the tools to run the team from their phone: approve leave, swap shifts, message staff, see who's clocked in, and handle the small decisions that keep the shift running, all without walking back to the office.

Skip the back office trip

Handle timesheets, leave approvals, and shift changes from the app in a few minutes instead of staying late at a desktop. Managers spend more time coaching the team and less time buried in admin.

Who's at work today?

See who's scheduled, when they're due to start, and which location they're at. Keep tabs on multiple teams and venues in one view without calling each site.

Edit schedules on the go

Unexpected change and you're not near a computer? Edit shifts in the app with all the staff info you need (availability, overtime status, qualifications) right there as you make the call.

Shift swapping and messaging in one place

Post shifts for pickup, message the team, and let the app surface qualified replacements. Skip the group chat scramble when someone calls out; the app finds the right person instead.

Never be out of the loop

Key alerts notify managers when staff are late, running over scheduled hours, heading into unexpected overtime, or skipping mandatory breaks. The things you used to walk the floor to catch now come straight to your phone.

Should I switch from paper schedules to a scheduling app?

Deciding whether to switch from paper schedules to a scheduling app depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your organization, the complexity of your scheduling needs, and the resources available to you. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Ease of Use: Scheduling apps can be more user-friendly and convenient than paper schedules, allowing you to make updates and changes easily.

2. Accessibility: With a scheduling app, your employees can access their schedules from their smartphones, tablets, or computers, ensuring that they always know when they’re working.

3. Efficiency: Scheduling apps can save you time by automating tasks such as shift scheduling, shift swapping, and time-off requests.

4. Security: With a scheduling app, you can ensure that your employee data is secure and protected.

Ultimately, the decision to switch from paper schedules to a scheduling app depends on your organization’s specific needs and resources. If you have a large team with complex scheduling needs, a scheduling app may be a good investment. If you have a smaller team with simpler scheduling needs, paper schedules may be sufficient.

Does the Tanda app send alerts for missing time punches?

Yes. Tanda automatically notifies managers when an employee misses a clock-in or clock-out for their scheduled shift. Employees also receive reminders on the mobile app if they forget to punch in or out, helping catch missing time entries before they cause payroll errors.

You can configure alerts by role, so managers, admins, or employees receive the right notifications for their level. A configurable grace period means alerts only trigger after a set window of time, reducing noise from minor late arrivals.

Employees can also correct their own missing punches through the self-service mobile app, with changes sent to their manager for approval, keeping timesheets accurate without the back-and-forth.
