These days it would be pretty hard to find someone who doesn’t own a cell phone, and Toronto-based Vortex Mobile has figured out a way to help corporations increase more staff productivity through their platform, Shiftex. The platform was recently selected by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, owner of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs (and most profitable NHL franchise), NBA’s Toronto Raptors and Air Canada Centre to improve staff scheduling and workforce management. Shiftex will aid in managing the schedules of Air Canada Centre’s 1,700 event staff including ushers, food and beverage servers and gate attendants.

“Shiftex is a one-of-a-kind platform. This is an innovative, revolutionary, product,” says Sasha Puric, MLSE’s Director of Information Technology. “Shiftex will further enhance our efforts to provide exceptional service to Air Canada Centre guests because the platform ensures reduced staffing shortages and service gaps.”

The application can also be leveraged as an inventive tool for employees as they look to gain additional shift hours can now receive an SMS message of when shifts are available which is perfect as we move into the final days of the Christmas shopping rush.
