Pysae Shift

Workforce planning, dispatching and pre-payroll — from transport plan to payroll file, one system, one data model.

Pysae Shift is a SaaS driver-scheduling platform for mid-sized bus operators: it imports commercial trips, generates legal duties, builds cyclic rosters, runs live dispatch, and exports a validated pre-payroll file — all in one tool with a configurable four-layer compliance engine covering EU law, sector CLAs and company agreements.

Why Do Mid-Sized Operators Struggle with Driver Scheduling?

Full optimisation suites are too heavy. Spreadsheets are too fragile. Most operators are caught between the two.

01

Powerful, but heavy

Full optimisation suites require months of setup and a dedicated expert to run them. Most mid-sized operators have neither the budget nor the time.

02

Excel & paper

So planning ends up in spreadsheets — manual, slow, with no optimisation and no traceable history. Errors surface at payroll, not at planning.

03

Rigid, no optimiser

Rigid tools designed for interurban routes with no optimisation engine. Issues don't surface until dispatch, or worse, month-end payroll.

What Does Pysae Shift Cover End-to-End?

Six steps, one system — no hand-off between tools, no reconciliation at month-end.

01

Transport plan import

Commercial trips, deadheads and charters from your scheduling stack — auto-detected and cross-validated.

02

Duty generation

Trips, breaks and turn-arounds assembled into legal duties for every service day.

03

Cyclic rosters

Weekly rotations with term and holiday variants, balanced for driver fairness.

04

Annual master plan

Rosters assigned across 52 weeks — leave, reserves and charters all covered.

05

Live dispatch

Day-of-operations board: drag-and-drop reassignment, check-in/out, live rule checks in real time.

06

Pre-payroll export

Worked hours translated to wage codes, validated, locked, and exported to your payroll provider.

Can You Use Pysae Shift Without Replacing Your Existing Tools?

Start where it makes sense. Use what you need.

01

End-to-end

Transport plan in, payroll file out. Shift handles the full chain from first trip to final export.

02

Keep your scheduler

Already using Hastus or similar? Import the duties and use Shift from dispatch onwards.

03

Planning only

Use Shift to build rosters and the annual master plan, then export to your existing dispatch tool.

How Does the Compliance Engine Work?

Four configurable layers — law, sector CLA, company agreement, depot preferences. Each layer is readable, editable, and validated.

4 layers
1EU 561/2006 — driving & rest
2Sector collective agreements
3Company internal agreements
4Depot & dispatch preferences
6 differentiators

Legally validated rules

Statutory rules signed off by employment-law counsel — legal authority, not vendor claims.

Four-layer rule engine

Law → CLA → company → operational, multi-CLA and multi-segment. Generic WFM flattens this to one list.

Engines you can read & edit

Optimisation as transparent, in-app logic — not a black box you take on trust.

Plan to payroll, one system

Planning, dispatch, compliance and pre-payroll in a single tool. No bridged gap, no double entry.

Occasional hire, first-class

Charters modelled as their own duty framework — not bolted onto regular service as an afterthought.

Open, round-trip data

Imports and exports share one layout; rules portable as JSON. No lock-in, ever.

How Does the Pre-Payroll Export Work?

Hours computed, not transcribed. Validated before locked. One click to your payroll provider.

01

Hours computed — not transcribed

Driving time, paid time, overtime above contract — per driver, per month. Computed from dispatch records.

02

Wage codes from the rule set

Premiums, allowances, credit-hour thresholds — derived from the same rules that govern planning.

03

Validate, then lock

Validate the current month, lock the previous ones. If an anomaly comes up later, the record is still there.

04

Day-by-day drill-down

Click any cell to see the day-by-day breakdown behind it. No figure without a source.

05

One-click export

One export, in your payroll provider's layout. No copy-paste, no CSV cleanup.

How Long Does It Take to Go Live?

Fitted by construction, not customised after the fact. Five stages, no big-bang.

01

Setup & configuration

Your data comes in, your HR and legal teams configure the rules. Nothing moves to testing until everyone has signed off.

02

Engine testing

Your teams say what the right answer is. We run the engine and show you what it produces — every discrepancy explained.

03

Parallel runs

Shift runs in parallel with your existing process for full months. Every difference is resolved before go-live.

04

Pilot go-live

One depot runs live on Shift. That becomes the reference — and the proof — for the rest of the rollout.

05

Site-by-site rollout

Each depot signs off before the next one starts. No forced timelines, no surprises.

One system. Your depots, your agreements, your data.

30 minutes, your real data, no slides. We run it live on your depots and your collective agreements.
