We’ve spent years in the trenches of shift staffing and field operations — managing thousands of workers across hundreds of locations, juggling spreadsheets, chasing confirmations over text, and playing middleman for every single shift change. It was exhausting. And it didn’t have to be.

Every scheduling tool we tried was either built for giant enterprise teams with IT departments and six-figure budgets, or too simple to handle the real complexity of shift-based work. And all of them charged per worker — meaning the more your team grew, the more you paid. That never felt right.

So we built Armada.
