Wellness Corporate Solutions Using Shiftboard, WCS staffs more efficiently, providing even more attention to each client. Shiftboard Scheduling Shell Oil Saves $3M Per Year Using Shiftboard

Shell Oil, one of the world’s largest petroleum companies with 22,000 U.S. employees, faced inefficient, manual scheduling across multiple refineries that made timesheets, staffing by seniority or certification, schedule communication, and overtime control difficult—while also risking non‑compliance with union rules and API RP 755 fatigue-management guidelines.

After evaluating 25 providers, Shell chose Shiftboard’s tailor‑fit scheduling platform, rolling it out to nine sites in under a year to manage ~5,000 employees. The solution automated complex rules, matched and reallocated overtime shifts to reduce costs, and delivered full API RP 755 compliance and audit reporting—resulting in about $3M in annual savings.
