Need a scheduling app that automatically texts employees their shift details when published, because half the crew won't use a separate app.

Breakroom app SMS included shift details but they want to compare multiple options before committing, and need SMS to be included in price (not per-message charge) and contain full shift details (not just a notification).

App Concept

TextShift Pro

A scheduling platform that auto-texts employees their complete shift details the moment schedules are published. Unlike apps that just send a generic alert, TextShift Pro embeds the date, time, and location directly in the SMS, and includes SMS at no extra charge. Workers never need to download or open an app.

Key Features

Auto-send SMS with shift details (date, time, location) when schedule is published
No per-message SMS charges – all included in subscription
Employee opt-in/out and reply to confirm or request swap via text
Manager dashboard to create and publish schedules with drag-and-drop

Target Users: Managers and owners in retail, hospitality, home services, and other shift-based businesses with 10-200 employees who need to reach workers without smartphones or app adoption.

Revenue Model: $39/mo base for up to 50 employees, then $0.50/employee/mo; includes unlimited SMS.
