Familiar scenes.
Solved in a minute.
Pain
A sales assistant calls in sick before the weekend — you find out when there's already a queue at the till.
See the coverage gap in advance: an alert fires the moment a floor shift gets thin.
Pain
At peak you're short on tills, and in the morning three people stand on an empty floor.
Smengo shows coverage by the hour: 'Till · Sat 2pm — 1 slot open'. Staff up to match traffic.
Pain
Every schedule change means calls, chats in three groups, and re-sending a spreadsheet.
Change a shift in one click. The assistant gets a notification, the team sees the current version.
