Departments, zones, and registers across one store or fifty — staffed on one live board everyone can see.HAL drafts the week, keeps it fair, and handles the scramble when someone calls out.You approve it with one tap.
Early accessFloor zones, the stockroom, registers, every department, one store or fifty — all on one live board.Who's on, who's short, and where, updating in real time on every associate's phone.
When someone can't make it, there's no chain of group texts and no “who can cover?” Orbit offers the open shift to every eligible associate at once, takes the first yes, and books it — the whole scramble collapses into one quiet notification.
HAL respects the hour rules — consecutive days, limits for workers under 18, required breaks — and spreads the weekend and closing shifts evenly instead of leaning on the same few people.A balanced week that follows your hour rules, drafted for you to approve.
