How it works

Three steps to a sorted week.

1

Define the need.

What each day has to cover: how many people, which roles and skills, the activities that have to happen. Type it in, reuse a template, or let a forecast predict it for you.

2

Get the optimal schedule.

Soon's solver puts the right people on every shift and plans their whole day, fair, legal and balanced, in seconds. Prefer to drive? Drag it by hand or just ask the agent.

3

Publish once. Stay covered.

It lands on every calendar and phone. When someone calls in sick, Soon fills the gap live and tells the team, so the plan holds without you babysitting it.

However you like to work

Build it five ways. For your shifts, and your day.

Let Soon handle it in one click, or drag every name yourself. Most teams want a bit of both, and Soon does not mind which.

Industry

Solving…

Powerful when you want it.
Invisible when you don't.

The solver is genuinely clever. You will mostly notice that you stopped thinking about the schedule.

Yes, it has AI. The useful kind.

Tell it what you want. It does the work.

Soon's agent speaks plain language and acts on your real schedule, not a chatbot bolted on the side. The solver fills a whole week in one click. The agent is for the off-script asks: cover a sick call, swap two people, rebalance Friday. It makes the change, then shows you before it saves a thing.

  • Knows your rules, contracts and coverage targets
  • Makes the change, then waits for your nod
  • Inherits your permissions, never widens them
More than a schedule →

It is the whole job, in one calm place.

🗓️

Shifts and intraday

Two layers in one tool. Plan who works when, then plan what they do all day: activities, breaks, tasks and focus time, hour by hour. The intraday layer simple tools skip.

🎯

Roles and skills

Every shift and activity knows who is qualified. The solver only ever places people who can actually do the work.

🌴

Leave and time off

Requests, approvals and balances in one place. Approved leave blocks shifts on its own.

📈

Forecasting

Predict demand from your own history and staff to it, weeks ahead, before the week gets away from you.

🔄

Self-scheduling and swaps

Post open shifts. The team claims, swaps and sets availability, always within your rules.

📤

Reports and export

Hours by person, by activity, by day. Clean data for payroll, or read it at a glance.

Where your team already is

Publish once. Everyone sees it, everywhere.

Every shift, activity and leave syncs straight into the calendars and chat your team already uses, then nudges them by push and email. Payroll, HR, anything else? A full API connects the rest of your stack.

Updates in real time

Google Calendar

Two-way sync in real time, with free or busy so booking tools still see openings.

Outlook

Every shift, activity and leave shows up live, right where your team already looks.

Slack

Schedules and changes post to your channel the instant anything on the plan moves.

Microsoft Teams

The same live updates land inside Teams the moment the plan changes for anyone.

App push notifications

A shift moves or a swap lands, and the right people get an instant tap on their phone.

Email notifications

Published schedules and every change, delivered to inboxes the moment they happen.

What you get back

Scheduling saves time. Better scheduling creates it.

The hours back are obvious. What surprises teams is everything else a schedule that is actually right gives them.

Hours, created not just saved

Eight hours a week back is only the start. The real win is the attention that used to vanish into a grid, now spent on the work that needs a human.

🧯

The fires stop

Gaps show up before the day does, not at 8am. You can finally answer "who's on right now?" without opening three tabs.

⚖️

Fair, and everyone feels it

The solver balances hours, skills and rest in a way no human manages by hand. People stop suspecting the rota.

🕊️

Your team gets a say

Preferences, availability, swaps, picking up open shifts. Real freedom over their week and their day, inside the rules you set.

🎯

Everyone pulls the same way

Capacity meets demand, hour by hour. The whole team aimed at the same goals, not just clocked in and hoping.

😌

A tool people open without dread

Fast, calm, a little bit of joy. The opposite of the spreadsheet nobody wanted to touch.

The part you can feel

Most scheduling tools feel like work. This one feels like relief.

Fast, quiet, and a little bit satisfying. The kind of tool you do not dread opening on a Monday.

We sweated the small things, the keyboard shortcuts, the half-second saves, the way a full week falls into place, because that is what makes a tool one people actually want to use.

In their words

Teams call it visibility, control, and time back.

★★★★★

"Soon drastically reduced the time spent on our planning process. The shift leaders are in total control."

Floris WakkaTeam Leader Service · Knab
★★★★★

"Within one week we had our whole team onboard. The price is fair and there are no hidden costs."

Therese ArntsenShift Manager · Orkla
★★★★★

"The support team responds incredibly fast. Every question was answered in hours, not days."

Alberto IngrassanoOperations Lead · Werfen
★★★★★

"Call abandonment went from 25% to 3%, and we run with three or four fewer people. Now we tell customers: call us, you'll get through."

Who it's for

One engine, shaped to your operation.

Soon adapts to support, healthcare, finance and ops. The same schedule, in your language and your rhythm.

Customer support

Keep staffing aligned with service pressure through the day.

Balance queues, shrinkage and channel coverage, and make same-day changes in one flow built for live operations.

Healthcare

Handle qualifications, fairness and absences without losing coverage.

For environments where staffing decisions have to stay fast, safe and transparent.

Financial services

Run tightly coordinated teams where coverage and accuracy both matter.

Clear role visibility, real-time adjustments, and a schedule that stays dependable under pressure.

Operations teams

Move beyond weekly rotas when the whole operation has to stay in sync.

Scheduling, forecasting and intraday visibility together, for broader workforce planning across teams.

Also retail, manufacturing, housing, legal operations, diagnostics and more. One situation: a team where knowing who is doing what actually matters.

Good questions

The things people ask first.

Soon is AI workforce scheduling for teams that work in shifts. You say what each day needs to cover, and Soon fills the shifts and plans the day. Automatically, by hand, or by asking the AI agent.

No. The solver can fill the whole week in one click, but you can also build it by hand, ask the agent in plain language, let the team self-schedule, or apply a saved template. Whatever fits how you work.

Soon is built for operational teams that work in shifts. A single schedule board comfortably holds 20 to 200 people, and you can run as many boards as you have teams, so a 1,000-person operation works just as well. Common in customer support, healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing and more.

Beyond who works each shift, Soon plans what everyone does through the day: activities, breaks, tasks and focus time, hour by hour. It is the layer simple shift tools skip, and most of the reason teams choose Soon.

You can be scheduling in about 15 minutes, no consultant and no six-month rollout. A full rollout with your whole team is usually live within a day, and onboarding is free.

Shifts, activities and leave sync in real time to Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack and Microsoft Teams, with push and email notifications on top. For payroll, HR and the rest of your stack, Soon has a full API, so the tools you already depend on connect to it rather than the other way around.

Yes. A 30-day free trial, no credit card required, and onboarding support is free.

Straight talk

Soon isn't for everyone. We'd rather say so now.

Probably not your tool

  • Your days have no shape. Everyone comes and goes at random, with no blocks to plan.
  • You want a punch clock and little else.
  • You need payroll or HR built in. Soon works alongside those. It does not replace them.

Built for you

  • You run shifts and want them sorted for you, fairly and within the rules.
  • Knowing who is on what, right now, is the job.
  • You want it your way: the solver, the agent, the team, or your own hands.
  • You want a tool your team actually likes opening.

The question is not whether Soon is powerful. It is whether your week has a shape worth planning. If it does, give us an afternoon.

Would it be unreasonable to want next week handled before your coffee gets cold?

Give Soon an afternoon. Worst case, you lose an afternoon. Best case, you forget what the old way ever felt like.
