shyftplan is a leading SaaS provider for workforce management with a special focus on AI-powered, automated shift scheduling. The company’s cloud-native offering is tailored to the complex needs and advanced requirements of its primarily manufacturing customers, ranging from typical German ‚Mittelstand‘ companies to blue-chip enterprises such as Siemens Energy, ZF, Krones, Mercedes-Benz, and Bosch. By integrating data from production planning, HR systems (e.g. absence and time management, employee qualifications) and employee preferences, shyftplan enables the ongoing digitalisation of the shop floor. The software allows its customers to run flexible shift models, ultimately increasing workforce autonomy. With over 50 employees at its Berlin headquarters, shyftplan is well positioned to address ongoing societal trends such as skilled labour shortage and the need for operational efficiency while improving employee satisfaction. Building on shyftplan’s existing relevance in the segment, Maguar’s investment will accelerate the company’s journey to become the leading workforce management software provider for the German industrial sector.
