Business Structure

Within Orbital Shift, you will structure your Business into one or more Location(s) > Department(s) > Position(s) > Employee(s).

Note: There is one generic Location entered for you by default. You can choose to edit the Location’s name to something more specific.

The following is a short list of some potential uses for multiple Locations:

  • Multiple physical Locations (Example: Seattle, Austin, Nashville, North Store, West Store, etc.).
  • Buildings or other business types on the same property (Administration Building, Restaurant, Hotel, ski school, etc.).

Additionally, organizations with multiple Locations may find using Departments as Locations to be a better way to manage their business.

  • A Coffee Company has 6 locations in one city. All employees work the same positions. The employees also work between the various locations. By making each Location into a Department in Orbital Shift, the staff schedules will be visible under one location.
