Every handover, right where your team works

Shift start alerts, handover summaries, coverage gap warnings, and pending-item reminders — posted automatically to Slack or Microsoft Teams.

Handoff summaryCoverage gapShift startedDaily on-call digest

Sound familiar?

Handoffs over Slack/Teams

Critical context gets buried in team chats or an engineer's memory. The incoming engineer spends 30 minutes piecing together what's happening — while the incident keeps unfolding.

No structured sign-off

Engineers finish their rotation and walk away with everything still in their head - open tickets, pending items, context the next engineer needs. Nothing handed over.

Zero coverage visibility

You don't know who's on-call, who escalates after them, what team they're in, or how to reach them. The handover document, if it exists, is somewhere in Slack from three weeks ago.

How it works

Four steps. Every shift accountable. Full engineer context.

01

Your shift starts automatically

Shiftctl starts your shift on schedule and sends you a notification. Open the app and read the full incoming brief from the previous engineer — tickets and pending items worked on. No surprises, ever.

02

Work your shift with full context

Log tickets as you resolve them throughout the shift. Pending items are always visible so nothing slips through. Every action is timestamped and recorded for the handoff.

03

Complete your sign-off

When your shift ends the engineer begins the 4 step sign-off process where all reported tickets, pending actions and shift difficulty rating are logged.

04

Next engineer is notified

The moment sign-off completes, the next scheduled engineer gets notified. A summary is posted to them via email, Slack and Teams. Context in as little as 3 minutes.

Everything your on-call team needs

From the moment a shift begins to the moment they hand over — Shiftctl keeps every step accountable.

Built for MSPs & IT Teams

PSA ticket sync — no other on-call tool does this

Tickets created in shiftctl are one way synced to ConnectWise Manage, Autotask PSA, or HaloPSA. Status updates however sync both ways, never lose critical information on-call again.

What are broken handovers costing you?

Hours Saved

52 handovers/year — each costs ~50 min in handover + context recovery = 43 hours/year lost.

Shiftctl reduces this to ~3 min — saving 41 hours/year.

Contract Loss Protection

Losing one client at $1,500/mo = $18,000/year lost.

Shiftctl costs $60/mo for your team. One client contract saved pays for 25.0 years.

Handover time based on a 30-minute industry baseline plus context recovery time that scales with rotation cadence (5–50 min). Shiftctl reduces handover to ~3 min and retains ticket context, cutting recovery by ~80%. Pricing shown for the Team plan billed annually. Prices in USD are approximate. Revenue-at-risk math assumes the loss of one client.

Simple, transparent pricing

Free for teams up to 5. Upgrade to Team when you need integrations or grow past 5. Enterprise when compliance and procurement get involved.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Shiftctl is not a replacement for these products — it complements your existing alerting tools. Keep PagerDuty or Opsgenie for alerts, and use Shiftctl for everything that happens between shifts.

ConnectWise Manage, Autotask PSA, and HaloPSA. Tickets you log in Shiftctl are created automatically in your PSA, and status updates sync in both directions.
