Automatic shift planning

Point-based wish system

Vacation management

GDPR-compliant

One click. A finished schedule.

The heart of vigotime: an optimization solver (Google OR-Tools CP-SAT) computes the complete schedule from staffing rules, wishes and the law — automatic, fair and audit-proof.

Seconds instead of hours

The solver builds complete weekly and monthly plans while Excel planners are still filling the first row.

100% rule-checked

Every plan respects German working-time law (rest periods, breaks, max hours) plus your collective and company rules.

Wishes included

Employee wishes and fair distribution enter the computation directly as optimization goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most important questions about vigotime

Contact Us

vigotime is designed for all industries with shift operations. This includes hospitals, care facilities, laboratories, manufacturing, logistics, retail, hospitality, and many more. The software is flexibly configurable and adapts to the specific requirements of your industry.

vigotime combines rule-based, automated planning with a unique point system for employee preferences. Unlike traditional solutions, our system automatically considers legal requirements, individual wishes, and fair distribution - all in a modern, intuitive interface.

Employees can submit time-off wishes for specific days via the mobile app. Each wish costs points. Points are reset and fairly distributed after each planning period. The system automatically prioritizes by point balance, so employees with more unused points are preferred. This creates a fair distribution over time.

Yes. All data is stored in European data centers (Google Cloud, Belgium region). We work with data processing agreements, encrypted data transmission, and strict tenant separation. Details can be found in our privacy policy.

Basic setup (departments, employees, shift models) typically takes 1-2 days. With rule configuration and fine-tuning, plan for 1-2 weeks until productive use. Our team supports you throughout.
