Build the roster by week or month

Month and week views with week numbers, grouped by driver or by vehicle. Drag a shift to move it, copy last week or the whole month, or apply the same shift to all weekdays or weekends in one go.

You work in a draft. Drivers see nothing until you press Publish — and then they get one aggregated notification, not one per shift. Change your mind before that and you discard the draft.

Open shifts — claimed from the phone

Publish unassigned shifts as open shifts. Drivers see them on their phones and first come, first served — whoever claims the shift gets it.

At claim time Manecab checks rest time and overlaps, so nobody picks up a shift that collides with another one or with their daily rest.

Shift swaps and availability

A driver who cannot make a shift offers it, and a colleague takes over. The swap shows in the roster right away — no ringing around.

Drivers state their availability up to 16 weeks ahead. When you plan, an availability calendar shows who can actually work — no guessing.

Warnings before it goes wrong

The roster warns when daily rest (dygnsvila) looks shorter than 11 hours and when a car or a driver is double-booked.

The warning is guidance, not a lock — you see it right in the view and decide yourself.

Planned versus worked

Overlay the actual shifts on the plan: worked according to plan, planned but not worked, and worked without a plan — marked right in the view.

Approved leave and reported absence shade into the roster too, pulled from Leave and absence. The month view prints cleanly for the notice board.

How it works

  1. Build the roster as a draft

    Week by week, or copy last month. Drivers see nothing yet.

  2. Publish — drivers get one notification

    One aggregated notification with all new and changed shifts. One, not twenty.

  3. Drivers claim open shifts and swap

    First come, first served on open shifts; swaps between drivers show up in the roster.

  4. Follow up planned versus worked

    See which shifts ran to plan and which never happened.

Common questions

More questions?

Can drivers pick up shifts themselves?

Yes. Publish unassigned shifts as open shifts — drivers see them on their phones and the first to claim gets the shift. Manecab checks rest time and overlaps at claim.

Does the system warn about daily rest?

Yes. When daily rest looks shorter than 11 hours the roster warns — but it is advisory, and you decide whether the shift stays.

Can I copy last week's roster?

Yes, copy a week or a whole month. Shifts follow the weekday pattern, so Monday shifts land on Mondays.

Do drivers see the roster on their phones?

Yes. Drivers see their published shifts on their phones, and publishing sends one aggregated notification with everything new.

Can the roster be printed?

Yes, the month view is built for print — put it on the notice board if you like.
