Accelerating MVP delivery for an AI-based workforce scheduler

Sheepblue is an Austria-based company focusing on automated SaaS-driven employee scheduling, driven by Artificial Intelligence. The software brings value to companies in the Retail Sales, Transportation, Healthcare, and Service industries by freeing the responsible managers from cumbersome manual planning work and avoiding social conflicts (like unfair scheduling, mobbing, etc.) because AI manages the schedule.

The Client reached out to Merixstudio with a need for an experienced agile software team that could serve as a supportive team extension and take ownership of the frontend development to increase the velocity of their internal team.

The whole collaboration was based on a partnership between two teams: the experienced front-end development team seated in Poznan, Poland and the back-end seated in Vienna, along with the core management team. Merixstudio’s team was in charge of the whole front-end development of the application covering the implementation of the key features (such as managing shift boards, creating and calculating shifts, displaying resources overviews) as well as of providing consultative tech advice and UX improvements. This was fully remote cooperation put in the framework of a Scrum-driven development.

Key features

Smart generation of the optimal schedule for all participants by taking the individual preferences and company needs into account. Intelligent algorithms minimize overtime and maximize employee satisfaction.

00

Shift exchange

Dashboard

Allowing responsible managers to enter and overview personnel requirements via an intuitive interface.

Clutch review

When asked for feedback, our users said that the frontend feels rock-solid, which is a testament to Merixstudio’s work. As software developers, we sometimes experience frustration interacting with applications because they feel too fragile or unstable, or because they feel too different between different browsers and devices, but Merixstudio’s frontend is rock-solid in comparison.
