The scheduling app where shift management lives in the team chat.
Build schedules with drag-and-drop. Staff request shift changes, drops, and swaps directly in the team chat. Managers approve with one tap — the schedule updates automatically. No other tool does this.
Shift management lives inside the chat
Other tools make staff leave the conversation to manage shifts. InvyEasy keeps everything in one place — request, approve, done.
Change Shift Time
Staff tap Schedule → pick shift → request new time. Manager approves in chat. Shift updates automatically.
Drop a Shift
Request to drop a shift with a reason. Manager approves → shift becomes open for others to claim.
Swap Shifts
Pick your shift + coworker's shift → send swap request. Manager approves → both shifts swap automatically.
Request Time Off
Pick date range + reason → send in chat. Manager approves → shows as unavailable on the schedule grid.
Sling, 7shifts, and HotSchedules require separate forms for every request.
InvyEasy does it all in one conversation.
