ShiftForge is an optimization engine that auto-generates optimal shift schedules satisfying qualification and work rules. It handles a workforce of several hundred across multiple shift types.
Manual scheduling, qualification checks, complex work rules, sudden absences — a platform that satisfies all four pillars of shift operations at once, built in-house from scratch in 6 months. A greenfield platform launch story.
Field Crew Co., Ltd. is a field-operations company that deploys qualified staff across multiple sites. Every week it had to build shift schedules combining early, day, and night shifts while honoring qualification requirements and labor rules.
Shift scheduling directly drives field productivity, legal compliance, and staff retention. We turned scheduling that relied on one person's experience into a system where anyone can build an optimal roster. ShiftForge is the optimization engine underpinning that foundation.
None of these were technology-choice problems — they were business requirements tied directly to productivity, compliance, and staff satisfaction. A greenfield build was needed to design them so they all hold at once.
Crew & qualification management, a constraint rule engine, an optimization engine, and validation — we built these four domains in-house from scratch together with Field Crew. Rules can be added or changed without touching code.

This foundation is not a technical metric — it continuously produces business outcomes: scheduling speed, legal compliance, staff satisfaction, and operational standardization.
