Vantage Workforce

Something happens at work. The next steps run themselves.

AI Automations turns the follow-up your managers do by hand into a tree that runs on its own. Pick what starts it, like a no-show, a missed clock-out, a time off request, a new hire, or a license about to lapse. Then add the steps: messages, tasks, courses, finding cover, waits, and If / else branches, with AI to write the note or make the call. Each run uses the access of whoever published it, and every step is written down. Ask AI is still here for the one-off jobs: say what needs doing, approve the plan, done.

Free for teams of up to 10 people

  • A tree you can read

    Triggers sit at the top, steps run down from them with a + between each, and an If / else splits into a column per branch, each ending on its own. What you see is the order it runs in.

  • Started by the work itself

    A shift opens, someone clocks in late, time off is asked for, a course goes overdue, a checklist comes in flagged. Triggers across a dozen tools, each with filters, or a schedule you set.

  • Your access, on the record

    A run can do what its publisher could do, at their locations, and nothing more. Steps that touch pay, hours, or the schedule wait for a person until an admin says otherwise, and every step lands in the logs.

A call-out at 5:40. Covered by 5:50.

Luis is sick, and his 6:30 at Riverside Plaza opens. The Find cover step asks the people who can take it, one at a time, and puts the first yes on the schedule. The manager gets one line: Dana is covering Luis's 6:30 at Riverside. It runs from any automation, from Ask AI, or on its own when sick time is approved over a shift.

What Find cover does

The asking, the waiting, and the schedule change, done for you.

  • Starts from a Find cover step, from Ask AI, or on its own when sick time lands on a published shift
  • Finds the people who can take the shift without breaking a rule
  • Asks them in your order, one at a time or a few at once
  • Puts the first yes on the schedule and tells the others it is filled
  • Tells the manager who is covering, in one line
  • Hands the result back, so the next step can branch on covered or not

What you control

Your rules for who gets asked, and when it comes back to you.

  • Who is asked first: fewest hours this week, a list you keep, or everyone at once
  • How long each person has to answer
  • A deadline after which the manager takes over, with every answer so far
  • Whether overtime is never allowed, asks first, or is allowed
  • Which positions and locations it covers
  • The No-show follow-up template, for shifts that start with nobody clocked in

Who it asks

Only people who could take the shift without breaking a rule.

  • Same position
  • Same location
  • Available that day
  • Rested since their last shift
  • Under their hours
  • Certified when the shift needs it

How it asks

Where people will see it, with the shift spelled out.

  • Team Chat
  • A push notification
  • Yes or no in one tap
  • Shift cover in the app

When nobody says yes

The manager gets the problem with everything needed to solve it.

  • A note to the manager
  • Who was asked and what they said
  • A None branch for what comes next

Or ask for it now.

For the jobs that do not come round on their own, Ask AI takes a request in plain words or a photo, shows the plan, and does it once you approve. Managers also get a Monday brief.

  • Does it, not just answers

    Say “Request Friday off for me” and Ask AI files it once you confirm. The same goes for offering a shift, swapping one, or reporting an injury.

  • From a form to a fix

    A voice form says the east stairwell light is out. Ask AI opens a board item, assigns it to Maintenance, and checks back until it is closed.

  • Certifications kept current

    A forklift certification runs out in 30 days. Ask AI assigns the refresher course and keeps Marcus off forklift shifts until he passes it.

  • A Monday brief for managers

    Overtime climbing at Harbor, late clock-ins on Tuesdays, two missed closing checklists. Each comes with a fix to approve in one tap.

  • Onboarding that runs itself

    An offer accepted in Vantage Recruiter becomes a profile, documents to sign, training, and shadow shifts, with nudges until every step is done.

  • Paperwork read from a photo

    Marcus takes a photo of his renewed license. Ask AI reads the name, number, and expiry date, files it in Documents, and updates his certification.

What starts it.

A change in the tools starts a run at once; things that happen by the clock are found every few minutes. Each trigger takes filters, so a late clock-in can mean more than 10 minutes late, at one location.

  • Before or after a shift, the time off, a first day, or a due date
  • Until something happens, with a time limit

Start from one that works.

Each becomes a draft to change before you publish it. Or describe what you want in a sentence, and AI draws the tree for you to check.

No-show follow-up

Message the person; if they still have not clocked in, tell their manager, open the shift, and find cover.

Cover every open shift

Ask the people who could take it, then tell the managers who said yes, or that nobody did.

Late arrival heads-up

Tell the manager when someone clocks in more than 10 minutes late.

Missed clock-out

Remind anyone still on the clock, then give their manager a task to fix the timecard.

The AI tools for the people who run the team.

Five more tools that take the slow parts of the week off your plate, each one leaving a person with the final say.

The whole week, scheduled in seconds.

Tell AI Scheduling what the week needs and it fills every open shift from your team's availability, roles, time off, and hour limits. You review the draft, move what you want, and publish.

AI Scheduling
📅
  • Starts from what you already have

    Positions, locations, availability, approved time off, and weekly hour limits are already in Vantage. The schedule is built from them, not from a form you fill in first.

  • Fair by default

    Hours are spread evenly, requested days off are kept, and nobody is scheduled past their weekly limit.

  • A draft, not a decision

    Nothing is published until a manager says so. Drag any shift to change it, then publish like any other week.

What you can do.

AI Scheduling checklist8 items
  • Fills open shifts from availability, roles, and locations
  • Keeps approved time off and requested days off
  • Keeps everyone under their weekly hour limit
  • Spreads hours evenly across the team
  • Copies last week's pattern when you ask for it
  • Flags any shift it could not fill and says why
  • Lands as a draft you can edit before publishing
  • Works with the shift swaps and open shifts your team already uses

AI Scheduling questions.

No. It builds a draft. A manager reviews it, changes anything they want, and publishes it.

The shift stays open and is flagged with the reason, such as nobody available with that position on that day. You can post it as an open shift for the team to claim.

Yes. Approved time off and requested days off from the Time Off tool are kept when the week is built.

From a topic to a course in one step.

Describe what you want people to learn and Course Creator builds the course: short modules, a quiz, and a time estimate. Edit anything, add your own videos and documents, and assign it by location or department.

Course Creator
🎓
  • Written for your people

    Plain language, split into short modules that fit into a break. Paste your own procedure and the course is built from that.

  • A quiz that checks it landed

    Questions are written from the module content, with answers you can change before anyone takes it.

  • Yours to edit

    Change the wording, reorder modules, drop in your own video, then assign it like any other course.

What you can do.

Course Creator checklist8 items
  • Builds a course from a topic or a pasted document
  • Short modules in plain language
  • Quiz questions written from the content, with editable answers
  • Estimated time on every module
  • Add your own videos, documents, and links
  • Assign by location or department, required or optional
  • Tracks progress like any other course
  • Rewrites a module in a different tone or reading level

Course Creator questions.

Yes. Paste or attach a procedure, a policy, or a manufacturer's guide and the course is built from that instead of from general knowledge.

Only if you tell them. A course is published under your workspace like any other, after you have reviewed it.

No. It writes the first draft in a minute. Your people decide what is right for your company and correct the rest.

Write the update once. Clearly.

Type what you mean in a few rough lines and AI Writing turns it into a clear announcement with a title, the right tone, and nothing missing. Translate it for the people who read in another language, then send.

AI Writing
✨
  • From notes to a post

    Half sentences become a finished update with a title, a clear ask, and the date.

  • The tone you choose

    Friendly, direct, or formal. Make it shorter or longer with one tap.

  • Every language on the team

    Translate an announcement or a chat message before you send it, so people read it in their own language.

What you can do.

AI Writing checklist8 items
  • Turns rough notes into a finished announcement
  • Suggests a title
  • Friendly, direct, or formal tone
  • Shorter or longer with one tap
  • Translation into the languages your team reads
  • Translates incoming chat messages on request
  • Points out a missing date, place, or ask
  • You edit and send; nothing goes out on its own

AI Writing questions.

No. It writes a draft in the editor. You read it, change what you like, and send it yourself.

Spanish, French, Portuguese, and most other languages your team reads. Ask us about a specific one.

No label is added. The announcement goes out from you, the same as any other.

Ask for the report. Get the breakdown.

Ask in plain language for hours, overtime, attendance, time off, or task completion and AI Reports builds the report: the numbers, a chart, and a breakdown by location, person, or week. Every figure comes from your own records, and you can open any number to see the entries behind it.

AI Reports
📊
  • Reports without a report builder

    Type the question the way you would ask a colleague. No filters to set up and no columns to pick.

  • The breakdown, not just the total

    Every report splits the figure by location, person, position, or week, and compares it with the period before.

  • Numbers you can trace

    Each figure links to the time entries, shifts, or submissions behind it, so a manager can check any number in one tap.

What you can do.

AI Reports checklist9 items
  • Ask for any report in plain language
  • Hours, overtime, attendance, time off, forms, and tasks
  • Survey results by location and department, with the comments summed up
  • Breakdown by location, person, position, or week
  • A chart and a written summary with every report
  • Open any number to see the entries behind it
  • Compare with last week, last month, or last year
  • Save a report and have it sent every Monday
  • Export to CSV or PDF

AI Reports questions.

From your workspace's own records: the time clock, the schedule, forms, tasks, and time off. Nothing is estimated.

Only the roles you allow. Managers see their own team and locations; owners and admins see everything.

The figures are counted the same way a report builder would count them, so they match the records. The written summary is generated from those figures and shows them, so you can check every sentence against the numbers.

Tell it what next week needs. It builds the board.

Describe the work in plain language and AI Boards drafts the items, puts them in the right group, and assigns each one to the right person based on the task, their department, their skills, and how full their week already is. Every assignment comes with the reason. You review, adjust, and publish.

AI Boards
✅
  • The right person, with the reason

    Each item shows why that person: the department, a certification, or the lightest week. Change any assignment with one click.

  • It knows your board

    It reads the groups, columns, and history you already have, so new items land in the right group with the columns your board uses.

  • Nothing goes out unreviewed

    The draft sits on the board until you publish. Automations and notifications wait until you do.

What you can do.

AI Boards checklist8 items
  • Build a week, a phase, or a whole board from a sentence or a checklist
  • Assign by department, role, skills, and certifications on people's profiles
  • Balance the load across people and locations, with everyone's hours in view
  • Fill in due dates and priorities from what you asked for
  • A note on every item explaining the choice
  • Rebalance a week when someone is out or a due date moves
  • Turn a recurring checklist into next week's items on its own
  • Ask in plain language to move, split, or reassign items

AI Boards questions.

It matches each item to people by department, role, skills, and certifications on their profile, then by how full their week already is and where they work. The note on each item shows the reason, and you can change any assignment before publishing.

No. Items that need a certification only go to people who hold it. If nobody qualifies, the item stays unassigned with a note saying why.

Only when you ask it to. Building next week adds a draft. Rebalancing a week changes assignments and shows each change for you to accept or undo.

What you can do.

AI Automations questions.

Something else on your mind? Talk to us.

An automation runs on its own every time its trigger happens, like every no-show or every license about to lapse. Ask AI is for one job right now: you say what needs doing, it shows the plan, and it does it once you approve.

Things that happen in the tools: someone joins, a birthday or work anniversary, a shift opens, a no-show, a clock-in, a missed clock-out, time off asked for, approved, or declined, a new hire added or finished with onboarding, a course assigned, finished, or overdue, a document expiring, a task overdue or done, a form submitted, someone recognized, a support request, an application, or a hire. It can also run on a schedule, or for people you enroll by hand.

Those of whoever published it last. A run can only do what that person could do themselves, at their locations. Building and publishing automations is its own power in Roles and access.

Messages, tasks, and most steps run on their own. Steps that touch pay, hours, or the schedule, like approving timesheets or deciding time off, wait for someone to approve them first. An admin can change that for each kind of step, or turn a kind off.

Yes. Test walks the tree for a person you pick, shows each step it would take, skips the waits, and changes nothing. An automation also cannot be published until every step is finished.

Four things: it drafts a whole automation from a sentence, writes a message from what the run knows, answers a yes or no question that picks the branch, and plans a request across the tools. A person checks the draft before it is published.

AI Automations is its own add-on for the people who run the team: $10 per person a month, paid on top of any plan. It includes AI Scheduling, Course Creator, AI Writing, AI Reports, and AI Boards. AI Chat Bot, with Voice Forms, is its own add-on at $3 per person a month, for everyone.
