Scheduling Apps Organize the Work. Shabetzli Does It.

An app gives your manager a board to fill and your staff another app to install. Shabetzli talks to every employee on WhatsApp, builds the schedule, covers call-outs and tracks hours - and hands your manager a finished result.

Where Scheduling Apps Leave You

The software changes. The manager's workload mostly doesn't.

Another app for every employee

Downloads, logins and forgotten passwords - and the staff who never open it still message the manager on WhatsApp.

The manager still does the work

The app shows who's available. Building the week, fixing conflicts and chasing missing answers stay with the manager.

Notifications aren't conversations

A push notification can't negotiate a swap, understand "maybe Thursday" or find someone to cover tonight.

One interface for a diverse team

Staff who don't read Hebrew or English well get stuck - and turn to the manager for help.

Side by Side

What changes when the work is done for your manager, not just organized for them.

What staff need

Typical scheduling app: Download an app, create an account, remember to open it

Shabetzli: Nothing - just WhatsApp, which they already use

Collecting availability

Typical scheduling app: Staff fill in a form; the manager chases whoever didn't

Shabetzli: Shabetzli asks each employee, understands free-text replies and reminds automatically

Building the schedule

Typical scheduling app: The manager drags shifts on a board or fixes an auto-fill

Shabetzli: A finished draft built around your rules and fairness, ready for approval

Call-outs

Typical scheduling app: An open shift is posted and the manager watches for takers

Shabetzli: Shabetzli contacts the right available people and confirms cover

Swap requests

Typical scheduling app: Requested in the app, then checked and approved by the manager

Shabetzli: Checked against roles and limits and handled in the chat

Time clock

Typical scheduling app: Clock in through the app

Shabetzli: One WhatsApp message to start and end a shift; hours organized automatically

Languages

Typical scheduling app: The app's interface languages

Shabetzli: Every employee chats in their own language, mixed-language messages included

Onboarding

Typical scheduling app: Self-service setup and help articles

Shabetzli: Personal setup with our team, built around how your business runs

Why Shabetzli Goes Further

Not a better calendar. A teammate that runs the shift conversations from start to finish.

Every employee reached

WhatsApp is already on every phone, so nobody is left out because they never installed the app.

Work done, not just tracked

Shabetzli asks, reminds, negotiates and builds. Your manager reviews and approves.

Cover found, not just posted

Call-outs are handled one conversation at a time until the shift is covered.

Attendance without the hardware

Clock in and out by message. Every employee sees their hours; you see the whole team.

Frequently asked questions

We already use a scheduling app. Why switch?

Because your manager is probably still doing most of the work: building the week, chasing answers and finding cover. Shabetzli does that work over WhatsApp, and your staff no longer need a separate app.

Does Shabetzli have a time clock?

Yes. Employees clock in and out with a WhatsApp message. Each employee sees their own hours, and you see who's on shift and everyone's hours, organized automatically.

What about payroll?

Shabetzli gives you organized hours per employee, per week and per month. Tell us which payroll system you use, and we'll talk about what fits.

Is it hard to move our team over?

No. We set up your business with you, and your staff start by answering a WhatsApp message. There's nothing for them to install.

Your next schedule could build itself.

We're onboarding teams gradually, so each one gets personal setup. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out when your spot is ready.
