Overview

Agendrix is a Canadian workforce management app for small and mid-sized businesses whose staff work in shifts, such as restaurants, retail stores, clinics, pharmacies and retirement homes. Managers build and publish schedules and handle leave and shift requests, while employees see their shifts and message the team in mobile apps. It is billed per user per month on two plans, with an Enterprise plan for larger organisations and time and attendance sold as an add-on module.

Our take

Pick Agendrix if your shift staff are in Canada and the hours have to end up in the payroll system you already use there, since that is where its connectors concentrate. A team that only shares a schedule can stay on Essential and skip the clocking add-on. If you pay staff outside Canada, check that your payroll provider appears on its list before you commit.
