Scheduling workflow
Shift swap approval
Let workers request swaps while Teambridge checks eligibility, overtime, credentials, availability, and manager approval before the schedule changes.
Start with your policies and approval points.

Automation does not erase the operator.
Teambridge carries the repeatable steps. Managers keep the approvals, exceptions, and policy decisions that require judgment.

Working inside your rules
Swap request

Result
Swap approved and schedule updated
Where the work breaks
The manual version keeps rebuilding context.
Shift swaps happen through texts and side conversations.
Managers approve swaps without seeing all downstream rules.
The schedule changes before the replacement is fully qualified.
What changes
Rules-first
swap control
Controlled self-service swaps
Fewer risky approvals
Cleaner schedule updates
Designed for teams that want worker flexibility without losing manager control.
How it runs
Four moves operators can understand.
The workflow stays legible from first signal to completed record. No hidden handoff and no black-box result.
Start from a worker request
The workflow captures the swap request and the shift it affects.
Check before offering
Teambridge evaluates eligibility, availability, overtime, and credential requirements before routing.
Route clean or risky swaps
Clean swaps can move quickly while exceptions go to manager review.
Publish the change
The approved swap updates the schedule and notifies the affected workers.
In the field
The same operating pattern, applied to real moments.
Peer swap request
A worker proposes a replacement and the workflow checks both sides.
Open swap pool
Eligible workers can claim a swap request within manager-set rules.
Manager override
Exceptions route to a manager instead of silently changing the schedule.
Connected by design
The workflow is the connective tissue.
Product data, automation logic, and AI action stay attached to the same operational record.
