Squadra
What it is
Squadra is a web-based workforce scheduling platform for retail and other shift-based businesses. Managers can build weekly schedules on a grid, copy the previous week in one click, and share shifts through a link. Employees can view schedules without downloading an app or creating an account. Optional time tracking supports phone or tablet clock-in and out, automatic hour totals, tablet PINs, verification photos, GPS checks, and lunch-break management. Native live connectors are listed for BambooHR, HiBob, Personio, Factorial HR, PayFit, and Lucca. The free plan costs nothing and covers up to 10 employees at one location. Pro costs $29 a month or $289 a year, with unlimited employees and locations; Enterprise pricing is custom. Squadra describes assisted migration from When I Work, 7shifts, and Deputy, including 12 months of history within 24 hours. Data is hosted in Europe and can be exported.
