What Celayix Employee & Staff Scheduling Software Online does

Celayix is a Seattle-based workforce management software company founded in 2000 that builds enterprise shift scheduling and time & attendance solutions for organizations operating in complex, compliance-heavy environments. The platform is purpose-built around a rules-based scheduling engine that handles union rules, fatigue compliance, qualification matching, multi-location coordination, and real-time shift changes for verticals including security guard services, home healthcare, long-term care, hospitality, events and venues, manufacturing, and libraries. Customer scale ranges from organizations with 150 workers to enterprises with over 10,000 employees, with named deployments including Sheraton Grand Chicago, Genesis Security Group, Cerberus Security, Connecticut Veterans Hospital, and luxury resort operators.

The core product suite comprises Shift Scheduling Software, Time & Attendance Software, an Employee Mobile App with GPS geofenced check-ins, and a unified Workforce Management layer, all built on a cloud-based platform with a fully documented open REST API. The architecture is differentiated by the integration marketplace (100+ pre-built connectors spanning ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, Sage, Ceridian, Microsoft Dynamics, Deltek, and others) and by recent AI additions including AI Connect (a Model Context Protocol server enabling AI assistants such as Codex and Claude to query live operational data) and Ask Celayix (a conversational natural language interface for scheduling queries). The platform is hosted on AWS with SOC 2 Type 2 security posture and claims 99.9% uptime over five years.

The business operates on a quote-based SaaS subscription model with annual billing, supplemented by professional services for implementation and configuration. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with technology integration partnerships (notably isolved, Greenshades, Evention, Traitset, Ignite Health), referral and affiliate programs, content marketing, and self-serve digital channels including an ROI Calculator. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and a headcount of 11-50 employees, indicating a bootstrapped operating model sustained over 25 years. Operating geographies are concentrated in the United States with Canadian payroll integration (Desjardins) suggesting North American market focus.
