//Who it's for

Replacement staff need the right access and arrival time.

An available worker may still need venue access, specific training or time to travel. Managers check those requirements against unfilled roles and zone coverage before confirming cover.

//Frequently Asked Questions

Event staffing software builds rosters for each event by role, work area and shift window, confirms staff, and tracks who has arrived. It should check credentials and training before someone is assigned, handle late call-outs and changing demand while the event runs, and report hours and coverage afterward.

Yes. Plan by role, zone, shift window, availability, and recorded qualifications. Your organization maintains and verifies credential and access records before confirming assignments.

Yes, for the actions documented to work offline. The Skedulo app saves a supported change made inside a packed venue on the phone, marks it pending and syncs it when the connection returns. Managers track arrivals, late staff, no-shows and zone coverage as updates come in, and anything recorded offline reaches their view once it syncs.

Yes. Managers can review suitable available staff and reassign work or arrange backup. Tempo can help prepare options and messages using configured records and actions. Venue leaders confirm the response, including any incident procedures.

Yes. One person's day can include shifts at different venues, with the travel between them planned and location details sent to their phone. This suits staffing agencies and crews that set up at one site and work service at another, where arrival times depend on the drive.

Yes. Integrations and APIs share rosters, assignments, hours and completed tasks with event management, HR, timekeeping and payroll systems. What's shared and when depends on the integration you configure.
