The shift
manager
He would not have to go through a book of availability sheets (time-consuming) to create a shift schedule.
The software would be made with complex, yet simply designed features where the manager would not have a reason for switching to "paper" scheduling due to usability issues.
The manager could very quickly create a shift schedule because the redundant tasks would only be done once, stored in the computer, and only repeated by the computer, not the manager.
The employee
Instead of the employee having to go through the management to create/update schedule, he could do it online very quickly and without hassle.
Since the employee will only need to update his shift schedule or send messages, the interface will be extremely simple and easy to use.
Instead of trying to contact the shift manager for a change of schedule, the employee can directly go to the website where the manager will be informed immediately and he can respond almost immediately to "inform" the system of the change. Then the system would automatically calculate any alternate possible solutions.
The payroll
 manager
If payroll would be integrated into the software, then it would be easy to see how much will be spent on payroll in the near future.
A page specifically designed for payroll would be created giving access to charts, graphs, numbers, and statistics of payroll.
Having only one page to gather all information requires for payroll would make it much less time consuming and would leave most of work to the machines (the check printer).

  1. Ray, you're almost there! Use what you've written in each block as the guide to creating some new product or service ideas, somewhat related to what you're doing, but expanding it. For example, how else can the Shift Manager's job be made more convenient? Maybe it's "voice activated app". For the employee, perhaps it's "call your times using your phone".
