01 / FROM COMPLEXITY TO CONTROL
Operations don’t stop.
Your planning has to keep up.
A sick day. A leave request. An expiring qualification. One change can affect the whole team.
When your planning is spread across spreadsheets, messages and separate systems, you lose the full picture. PetroShift brings together the information you need to act.

An operational view that takes work off the supervisor’s hands, and a central overview for admins. The relevant information in one place, with configurable permissions per role.
HOW IT WORKS
- 01
Set up your teams
Choose your shift pattern, staffing requirements, roles and skills. Sector templates give you a workable starting point that you adjust yourself.
- 02
Plan and staff
The roster is calculated from your pattern. The matrix shows staffing, the minimum, leave and shortages per day.
- 03
Handle changes
Leave, swaps, replacements and cover run through requests with approval, with rest-time checks.
- 04
Keep the overview
Dashboard, notifications and reports per role, plus a calendar feed so employees see their shifts in their own calendar.
IN PICTURES
Four features up close
Assignment per position
Fill in the whole run of shifts on one screen. Assign people to unit and position per shift, with stars for the qualification level and an automatic suggestion that fills as many positions as possible.
Holiday roster
Analyse in one go whether staffing holds for a whole holiday period. Where it gets tight, PetroShift proposes cover and shift swaps, and the calendar shows per employee what is in draft.
Shutdowns and events
Plan a company-wide shutdown per day in a familiar matrix, with participants from all teams and a rest check on every assignment. Afterwards you process the hours worked as overtime.
AI assistant for supervisors
Ask in plain language, such as “Who can cover tomorrow afternoon?”. The assistant looks through the roster, checks rest, leave and qualifications, and never changes anything itself. Optional per company.

Let’s talkWhich organizations is PetroShift for?
For industrial organizations that work with shift teams, such as process industry, energy, chemicals, terminals and manufacturing. The focus is on the coherence between planning, staffing and qualifications.
Can PetroShift fit our shift system?
Yes. PetroShift isn’t locked into one pattern like 2-2-2 — any shift pattern (for example 4- or 5-team shift systems, or your own cycle) can be set up, including on-call days. Your shift cycle, staffing requirements and agreements are the starting point; in a demo we discuss how your situation translates into PetroShift’s setup.
What do supervisors and admins see?
The intended role split gives supervisors insight into their operational planning and requests. Admins get an overarching view and manage the setup. We align the exact access and responsibilities with your organization.
Is there already an integration with Workday?
No, there is no live integration with Workday and data isn’t exchanged automatically. PetroShift does offer a reconciliation step: HR can compare data from PetroShift against Workday and flag discrepancies. A technical integration would need to be researched and agreed on separately.
What about security and personal data?
An implementation requires establishing access rights, hosting, retention periods, logging and data processing agreements, among other things. We discuss these requirements with your IT and privacy team beforehand. This page does not claim any certifications or specific security guarantees.
How do we get started, and what does PetroShift cost?
We start with a conversation about your teams, processes and required functionality. Based on that, scope, any integrations, implementation and price can be determined. This page does not offer fixed rates.
