The OnShift X app and OnShift Schedule X: Innovative technology for your evolving workforce

Written by OnShift | Jul 24, 2025 1:00:00 PM

After significant research, development and insights from long-term care leaders, we’re excited to launch the new OnShift X app. 

With the OnShift X app, schedulers and managers can do their jobs from anywhere, including logging call-offs, viewing workforce data, and filling open shifts with best-fit employees based on availability, hours worked, and likelihood to accept a shift. All this in a modern, intuitive interface that eliminates complexities, streamlines workflows, and increases visibility.  

The app also comes with communication tools for socializing shift openings on the go to fill shifts fast, helping leaders deliver high quality care to residents and provide the timely, clear communication employees want. Front-line workers also benefit from the OnShift X app, which allows them to view their schedules and request shifts from their smartphones.

The OnShift X app is only available through Schedule X. The platform’s latest updates are designed to help leaders make smarter workforce decisions and optimize operations while creating an exceptional employee experience.  

Some of the updates to OnShift Schedule X include:

  • Workflows to identify and help resolve cost, staffing, and compliance issues before they become problems.
  • Improved scheduling templates that make it easy to add new employees, show job candidates their prospective schedules, and support weekly, bi-weekly, and 4/2 schedules.
  • Technology adoption reports that help leaders manage the entire OnShift Schedule X rollout process, from user registration to shift requests.
  • Employee CPR and First Aid credential integration to avoid scheduling employees with expired credentials (and associated fines).

OnShift Schedule X maintains key features that OnShift customers have come to expect in their workforce management solution, like easy integrations with HRIS and timekeeping tools, HPPD monitoring, and punch reports.  

OnShift Schedule X customers report*

  • 100% scheduler satisfaction rating
  • 70% reduction in unwanted employee overtime
  • 300 hrs scheduling time saved annually
  • 2.5 hrs average scheduler training time
  • 15 hrs average monthly reduction in clock riding saved per community

*These improvements are based on initial OnShift Schedule X customer results. Your results may differ. 

The long-term care industry is about to face its greatest challenge: a rapidly aging population in tandem with longstanding care delivery issues. Solving this challenge will require leaders able to adapt to changing needs in real time. Together, the OnShift X app and newest release of OnShift Schedule X provide leaders with the technology, agility and access necessary to surmount that challenge.
