Scheduling & dispatch

Event staff scheduling software that fills shifts before you pick up the phone.

Scheduling event staff by spreadsheet and group text stops working around the fiftieth shift a month. Staffli builds the program in bulk, releases shifts to your most reliable workers first, collects applications in the app and flags what is still unfilled, so managers spend their time on clients instead of on texts.

What changes when you run on Staffli

Bulk scheduling across events and venues

Create every shift of a program in one pass with positions from your catalog, headcount, venue and rate. Duplicate last month's program, adjust dates, publish.

  • Positions catalog with pay and bill rates
  • Multi-day events, one child per day
  • Schedule conflict detection across time zones

Tiers and waves

Publish to your top tier first. If the shift is not filled in the window you set, Staffli widens to the next wave automatically, evaluated every 15 minutes. Reliability earns first pick.

Applications and reminders in the worker app

Workers apply in one tap, batch-apply across a program, and get reminders on push or SMS at 3 cents a message. Shift details sit in the app: venue, time, dress code, on-site contact, brand story.

Nelson fills the gaps

Type "launch wave 2 on Saturday's Total Wine tasting and remind everyone staffed at 6pm" and Nelson launches the wave, schedules the reminder and reports back. It also alerts you on at-risk shifts before you ask.

Included with every agency

One price per active worker. No modules to buy, no seats for managers.

FAQ

Questions about scheduling & dispatch.

What is the difference between event staff scheduling software and a generic shift scheduler?

Generic schedulers assume a fixed team on recurring shifts. Event staff scheduling software handles a large pool of on-demand workers, one-off shifts at changing venues, tiered release in waves, worker documents and client-specific briefs. Staffli is built for that model.

How do workers get shifts?

They apply. Workers see the shifts dispatched to their tier in their markets, filter by day, time of day and language, and apply in one tap or in batch across a program. You accept, reject, move to another position or staff someone directly, with schedule conflicts flagged.

Does scheduling connect to time tracking and billing?

Yes. A scheduled shift carries the geofenced clock-in, the hours the worker submits and the recap. Hours you validate flow into the client invoice without re-entry.

How is Staffli priced?

Staffli is priced per active worker per month. You only pay for workers who actually worked a shift in the last two months. Admin seats are unlimited, with no per-seat fees for managers. SMS is billed at 3 cents a message. The exact rate is on the pricing page.
