Merinio

Merinio develops workforce management software centred on employee scheduling and shift dispatching for organizations that operate with shift-based labour. The platform lets managers build schedules that encode an organization's business rules, distribute them to staff, and adjust them when absences or other unexpected events occur. A core component is an automated calling system that identifies, contacts and replaces employees for open shifts through phone calls, SMS or the mobile app, with the aim of maximizing shift coverage and reducing the manual effort of maintaining callback lists.

Beyond scheduling and callouts, the product covers absence management, timesheet management with automated timecard validation, overtime capture and premium calculation, a punch clock that turns a device into a time-tracking tool, and team communication features such as broadcast news sharing and a bulletin board. An employee-facing mobile application gives workers access to their schedules, lets them submit availability, time-off requests and attendance, and provides managers with daily operational updates and reminder checklists covering task tracking, lateness processing and absence requests. The company positions the platform as a response to labour shortages, framing benefits in terms of reduced overtime and hiring costs, improved shift coverage and better use of existing workforce capacity.
