Fill employee cancelled shifts automatically

When a worker pulls out, Appoyo automatically notifies suitable staff and lets them accept the shift. The roster updates instantly, without managers chasing, calling, or texting.

WHY IT MATTERS

Shift cancellations create admin and risk

 One cancelled shift can trigger hours of phone calls, missed supports, and stressed teams. Appoyo removes the scramble by automating the replacement process end-to-end.
