Opening and closing checklists

Read moreBetter shift handovers, so nothing gets lost between shifts
A broken machine, a customer complaint, a delivery that did not arrive. Orbis Shift Operations gives every shift a proper handover and records who has read it.
The problem
Why this is hard without the right tool
Handovers rely on a notebook, a sticky note or catching someone in the corridor. Important details are missed, and nobody can say whether the next manager saw the message.
How Orbis Shift helps
Step by step
This use case uses Orbis Shift Operations, the add-on to Orbis Shift Core.
- 1
Write the handover at the end of the shift
Record what the next team needs to know, for the right venue or department.
- 2
The next shift sees it first
Handover notes appear for the people starting next.
- 3
Acknowledgements are recorded
Staff confirm they have read the handover, so you know the message landed.
- 4
Escalate serious issues
Anything more serious can be logged as an incident with actions and follow-up.
