Samwise HR is launching soon
In the warehouse, early, late and night shifts take turns, and the first drivers are on the road before it gets light. Samwise plans these shifts with you, records working time on a phone or at the time clock, and points out rest periods, Sundays and the rules for young workers while you plan.
Launching by January 2027 at the latest. Ask us to keep you posted by 31 January 2027 and become a customer by 31 March 2027, and we’ll set up Samwise with you free of charge.
Someone who worked the late shift until 10 pm can’t start a delivery round at 4:30 the next morning. That kind of change happens quickly when people swap at short notice. Samwise shows you while you plan when there isn’t enough rest between two shifts.
Before public holidays and in the run-up to Christmas, temps, part-timers and mini-jobbers join the team. The plan shows who can work when. If a shift would take someone over the mini-job earnings limit, Samwise tells you before you release the plan.
Young workers have tighter hours: as a rule between 6 am and 8 pm and no more than eight hours a day. Night shifts and a 4:30 start are not for them. Samwise points this out while you plan.
People clock in with a single tap on their phone or with their own PIN at the time clock in the warehouse. The time clock keeps working if the internet drops for a moment. If a time still ends up on a paper slip, you enter it afterwards and the scan stays attached as proof.
When you choose your industry at the start, Samwise sets up these teams, activities and shifts for you. Warehouses, hauliers, couriers and passenger transport all get the same set. There’s no separate activity for driving passengers. You add it yourself while you set up.
Samwise is in German, so the app shows these names in German. You can rename every one of them.
| Shift | Time | Usual days |
|---|---|---|
| Early | 06:00–14:00 | Mon–Sat |
| Late | 14:00–22:00 | Mon–Sat |
| Night | 22:00–06:00 | Mon–Fri |
| Route start | 04:30–13:00 | Mon–Fri |
The days show when shifts like these usually run. You set your own week in the shift plan.
If a shift doesn’t fit these rules, Samwise points it out while you plan. You decide. If an exception applies to your business, for example in an emergency, you can plan differently with a reason.
For every business, Samwise also keeps track of maximum working hours, breaks, maternity protection and the mini-job earnings limit.
See all featuresSamwise points out these rules. It isn’t legal advice.
Samwise adds these points as a checklist when you start, so everything that needs settling is settled before the first shift.
Five steps until your first week is in place. All you need is your staff list and, for the time clock, a tablet.
Samwise sets up the teams, activities and shifts you see above. You can rename or remove any of them.
Upload it as an Excel or CSV file. Samwise shows any errors row by row before anything is saved.
Everyone gets their own link or QR code and fills in the staff questionnaire on their own phone.
Open the time clock in the tablet’s browser and print the PINs. That’s all it takes.
You set up your usual week once, and Samwise drafts every new week from it. As soon as you release the plan, your team sees it on their phones.
With the industry templates, you set up Samwise yourself. If you ask us to keep you posted by 31 January 2027 and become a customer by 31 March 2027, we set it up together with you free of charge.
