Volunteer scheduling that frees you up to make the world a better place.

At its core, scheduling software like ZoomShift keeps your staff on the same page with its feature-rich web and mobile app. The schedule is online and easily viewed 24/7 by both your team and managers. It also makes it easy to communicate when shift cover requests go out or the schedule gets published since ZoomShift has text, email, and push notifications. That means fewer no shows and less back-and-forth email and text chains to cover shifts.

The simplicity of ZoomShift is why people love it so much. Managers enter all employees into the app alongside pertinent info like their job title and wages. Once all your employees are entered into ZoomShift, you can begin shift planning by clicking Schedule in the navigation bar and slotting your employees for the shifts you need covered. Rinse and repeat as necessary and copy schedules daily, weekly, or even monthly to save time.

Prices vary based on which package you select and how many active employees are using the software each month. Check out our Starter, Premium, and Enterprise solutions to see what fits your needs the best.

ZoomShift's Essentials plan is free for organizations with up to 20 active volunteers per month. For larger volunteer rosters, the Starter plan at $2/active volunteer/month only counts volunteers who appear on the schedule in a given month — volunteers who aren't scheduled that month don't count toward billing.

Volunteer hours are tracked through ZoomShift's time clock. Each volunteer clocks in at the start of their shift and out at the end. Hours are logged to their timesheet automatically. At the end of the reporting period, export the timesheet report filtered by date range and position to get total hours by role or by individual volunteer.

Yes. When you post an open shift, volunteers receive a notification and can claim it directly from the app. You can require coordinator approval before the assignment is confirmed, or allow automatic assignment. For organizations where volunteers self-select into events, the self-claim model works well. For organizations that need to control who works specific roles, coordinator approval keeps the process structured.

Each event location can be a separate location in ZoomShift. Volunteers are assigned to a home location but can be scheduled at any location. Their hours across all locations track together on their timesheet, and the coordinator can view schedules by location or across all locations at once.

The coordinator sees the missed clock-in on the real-time dashboard. They can post the shift as open immediately and notify eligible volunteers. The system logs the no-show against the volunteer's history, which coordinators can reference when making future scheduling decisions about reliability.
