Duration: 8h 12m
Context before you go live
Every shift starts with a structured brief — open tickets, pending items, and a difficulty rating from the previous engineer.
Integrations that work for you
Notifications to the tools your team already use — PSA sync no other on-call tool offers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Manager insights
Track shift difficulty trends, engineer on-call burden and handoff brief statistics — all in one place. Export a clean PDF report or schedule it to land in your inbox.
PagerDuty import & live sync
Already running on PagerDuty? Connect your iCal feed and Shiftctl syncs your schedule automatically — every hour. Or do a one-time import from any iCal source. Works with PagerDuty, Opsgenie, and any iCal feed.
Email, Slack & Teams alerts
Handoff summaries, shift start/end alerts, coverage gap warnings, and daily on-call digests — posted automatically to your Slack channel or Microsoft Teams. @mention the right engineer every time.

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
