Fill the shiftfrom one message.
Write the shift once and tick the tags it needs. Only the people who fit are asked, each in private. They answer in one tap, you see every reply, and the person you choose finds the shift on the roster and in their own calendar.

How a gapis filled.
A gap appears.
Someone calls in sick, or a shift has nobody yet. Open it on the roster, or write a new request: what it is, when, and how many people you need.
Tick who it suits.
Role, skills, days, sites, overtime: whatever your tags say. The list narrows with each tag. Backfyl leaves out anyone already working all of those hours, or on leave, and tells you who and why.
They answer in private.
Available, Unavailable or Ask a question, or your own wording. Nobody sees who else was asked, or what anyone replied.
Give it to one person.
A running count shows every reply, with roster clashes flagged. The person you choose is told the shift is theirs. Everyone else who offered is thanked and released.

Private by default,and nobody spammed.
- Tags you name
- Role, skills, accreditation, days, sites: as many as you like. People can set their own, so they only hear about work they want.
- Questions in private
- Ask a question opens a thread between that person and the manager. Nobody else sees it.
- Who may post
- You decide when you set up: managers only, or anyone on the team.
- More than one person
- Ask for as many people as the shift needs, and give it to each in turn.
- Sick calls from the phone
- Staff call in sick from the app. The shift opens up and the managers are told, ready to send it on.
- Your own reply buttons
- Reword the answers to suit your team, or add your own.
In both plans
Backfyl Cover, from $10 a month, fills the gaps in the roster you already have. Backfyl Workforce, from $2 a person a month, runs the whole roster. Four weeks free on either, and no lock-in contract.
How each industryuses it.
- HospitalsA Wednesday theatre shift goes only to the scrub nurses who work Wednesdays.
- Aged careA night in memory support goes only to the carers who work nights there.
- Retail and supermarketsA Saturday on the registers goes only to the staff trained on them at that store.
- HospitalityA Friday bar shift goes to bar staff with an RSA who work Fridays.
Works well withthe rest of Backfyl.
Every part shares one roster, one team and one app. Use the parts you need and leave the rest out.
Questionspeople ask first.
Do staff have to download an app?
No. They open the invite link you send and add Backfyl to their Home Screen. From then on it works like an app, with notifications, on iPhone and Android, and in a browser on a computer.
Can staff see each other’s replies?
No. A reply goes to whoever posted the request and to your managers. Nobody else on the team sees it.
Is shift cover in both plans?
Yes. It’s the heart of Backfyl Cover, from $10 a month, and part of Backfyl Workforce.
