Typical challenges in security
Every business knows these problems — Shiftdesk solves them digitally.
24/7 premises surveillance
Round-the-clock staffing at changing locations requires seamless shift scheduling.
Changing deployment sites
Employees are deployed across different premises — scheduling has to stay flexible and clear.
Short-notice event assignments
Events and functions call for quick staff ramp-ups, often with little lead time.
Night and weekend shifts
Security work happens mostly at night and on weekends — with special requirements under the German Working Hours Act (ArbZG).
§34a proof of competence
Only employees with a valid §34a competence certificate may take on certain tasks.
High staff turnover
Frequent staff changes call for simple onboarding and quick scheduling of new team members.
