Case Study: University of Montana Athletics simplifies schedule confirmation with Orbital Shift

University of Montana Athletics streamlines 50+ student shift confirmations with Orbital Shift

The University of Montana Athletics, using Orbital Shift's scheduling software, faced a persistent challenge in confirming work schedules with its large pool of student employees. The special events manager had to manually track email confirmations and update a physical whiteboard, a cumbersome process that became problematic given the sporadic nature of the event schedules.

Orbital Shift implemented a new schedule confirmation feature directly within its system, adding a simple check box for employees to confirm their shifts. This solution, inspired directly by the customer's whiteboard method, allowed managers to instantly see confirmed schedules and follow up proactively. For the university, this eliminated manual tracking and made the process easier for students. For another user, Karst Stage, it provided reliable confirmation from drivers, ensuring critical transportation shifts were covered. Orbital Shift's responsive development effectively solved a key operational pain point for its customers.
