Business View scheduling feature: Crystal-clear staff coverage in Quinyx
We’re excited to introduce the Business View scheduling feature, giving managers a clearer staff-coverage view across teams and operations. Seamlessly organise employee schedules by various criteria, such as shift type, section or team, with this powerful new business schedule view.
What is the Business View scheduling feature?
This new interface gives you a clear snapshot of staffing so you can spot gaps, understand coverage and make fast, informed decisions. Switch from “Employee” to this enhanced coverage view with a single click in the app.
In this mode, shifts are grouped by type, with assigned employees, unassigned slots, shift details and daily head-counts visible at a glance. Use collapsible groups to focus on what matters most, boosting shift visibility for managers and giving you confidence in your staffing plans.
Business View syncs with all core Quinyx scheduling features, from labour budgeting to AI-powered demand forecasting.
Why visibility beats guesswork
When you’re managing fast-moving schedules, guesswork leads to costly errors. Whether it’s missed shifts, over-staffing or last-minute changes, even small issues can snowball. That’s why having a clear staff-coverage view is essential. It shows exactly who’s working, what roles are unfilled and how resources are allocated so you can act fast and plan with confidence.
Key features of Business View
This view offers a structured, at-a-glance overview of employee scheduling across multiple shift types, making it easier to plan effectively and act fast:
- Shifts grouped by type - See shifts organised by categories like Managerial, Production or Night shift for a more intuitive layout.
- Employee assignments - Each shift shows the assigned employee’s name, or “Unassigned” if open, making it easy to spot gaps in coverage.
- Assigned shift counts - Grey numbers on each shift show how many people are scheduled per day within each group. A KPI totals assigned shifts per type so there is no need to count manually.
- Detailed shift information - View shift times, hours, section, assigned employee and comments directly on each shift for quick context.
- Collapsible shift groups - Shift types listed on the left can be expanded or collapsed for quicker navigation and a cleaner overview.
- Integrated scheduling actions - Import templates from your existing shift-planning tools, copy last week’s rota or push data to payroll in one click.
Together with Quinyx BI dashboards, Business View forms part of our end-to-end workforce scheduling solutions suite.

Why schedule staffing visibility matters
Getting visibility into your schedule is about more than just keeping things organised. It’s about empowering managers to act quickly, stay compliant and optimise staffing costs.
With Business View, you can run quick checks for labour law compliance, ensuring each shift meets legal requirements, which is particularly important in highly regulated markets like the UK.
The impact on productivity is clear: Deloitte found that real-time visibility into staffing helped organisations reduce overtime by 11%, giving teams more control over costs without compromising coverage.
