One app for everything your team needs to know
Roster updates, shift changes, news posts, team events, leave requests and direct messages — Urhere brings workforce communication into one place. Employees see what they need without managers having to chase them down.
Shift changes handled without the back-and-forth
When employees need to change a shift, the request goes through Urhere — not a text message. Managers see the request in the dashboard, approve or decline, and the employee is notified immediately.
Shift swaps, open shift offers, leave requests and roster updates all follow the same pattern. The communication happens inside the system, with a clear record of what was agreed.
- Shift swap requests submitted and approved in Urhere
- Open shifts offered to eligible employees through the app
- Leave requests visible to managers in the same workflow
- No back-and-forth across personal messaging apps

Post news and announcements to your whole team
Managers can post news and announcements directly in Urhere — visible to all staff or to specific locations. Employees are notified through the app and can read the post at any time.
Posts stay visible in the app, so staff can refer back to them. Nothing gets buried in a chat thread or missed because someone had notifications off.
- Post to all staff or a specific location
- Employees notified when something new is posted
- Posts visible in the app at any time
- Useful for policy updates, reminders, recognition or general team news
