Case Study: Rockford Coffee streamlines scheduling and payroll with Orbital Shift

How an employee mobile scheduling app helps keep Bozeman caffeinated

Rockford Coffee, a Bozeman coffee shop and roaster founded in 2004, struggled with time‑consuming, manual scheduling—co‑owner Kristin Wilson was creating rosters in Microsoft Word, cutting and pasting shifts and tracking paper time‑off and shift trades, which led to missed punches and constant rework.

In 2013 Rockford adopted Orbital Shift’s cloud workforce platform and mobile app, giving managers desktop schedule tools and staff real‑time access to their shifts. The system enforces shift trades, simplifies payroll and communication, cuts scheduling time significantly, and has freed Kristin to focus on running and growing the business.
