Open shift? Filled by text.
DropShift helps small businesses fill open shifts in minutes. Your manager texts one number; DropShift individually texts the qualified staff on your roster. First to reply YES gets the shift. No apps for staff to download, no group chats, no phone trees.
Get startedHow it works
One text from a manager sets the whole fill in motion. DropShift handles the outreach, the replies, and the confirmation.
Manager texts the shift
Your manager sends the open shift to your company’s DropShift number in plain words — site, day, hours, how many people. DropShift reads it back for a quick confirmation before anything goes out.
Qualified staff get the offer
DropShift checks the roster and sends an individual text — never a group thread — to each team member who matches the shift’s requirements and is available.
First YES wins
The first team member to reply YES is confirmed automatically. Everyone else who replied is told the shift is filled, and your manager gets the result.
Reminder before the shift
The confirmed team member gets a reminder before the shift starts. If nobody claims a shift in the time window, DropShift widens the offer to the next tier of staff and keeps your manager posted. Team members can also text in a call-off, and DropShift opens the fill for that shift right away.

An example
Rules built in, not bolted on
The safeguards are part of how DropShift works, so a fill can’t go to the wrong person.
- Only authorized managers can start a fill. Each company registers its managers’ mobile numbers (up to 10). A text from any other number can’t open a shift.
- Only qualified staff are offered the shift. Offers go only to team members whose certifications are current, who are cleared for that location, and who match the shift’s requirements.
- First YES wins. The shift closes the moment it’s claimed — no double-booking, no duplicate confirmations.
- Expired credentials are excluded automatically. Team members with expired certifications never receive offers, and managers get a heads-up before credentials lapse.
- Opt-outs are honored immediately. Any team member can reply STOP to end texts at any time. Offer texts also observe quiet hours unless a manager marks a shift urgent.
Who it’s for
DropShift is built for small and mid-size companies that run on shift-based teams — businesses where one call-off can leave a location short-staffed and a manager spending the morning on the phone.
If this sounds familiar
Your managers fill open shifts with phone trees, group chats, and whoever happens to answer first — qualified or not. Staff miss offers buried in group threads, and there’s no record of who was asked or who confirmed.
What changes with DropShift
One number for every open shift. Offers go individually to the right people, claims are settled in minutes, and every step — offer, claim, confirmation, reminder — happens by text, on phones your team already has.
