Valid Shifts

What Valid Shifts does

Valid Shifts is a privately held, Houston-based SaaS company founded in 2022 that builds cloud-based workforce scheduling software exclusively for the long-term care industry. Its platform combines six integrated modules — Real Time Scheduling, Shift Marketplace, Eliminate Agency, Management Reports, Budget Compliance, and Efficient Staffing — into a single web-accessible application designed to reduce scheduler workload, minimize dependence on contract agency staff, give operators real-time visibility into staffing budgets, and produce workforce analytics including time-and-attendance and call-in reporting. Product copy emphasizes that the interface and workflows were developed directly from input by frontline caregivers, and the system is described as configurable across facility sizes and LTC group structures.

The company monetizes through quote-based SaaS subscriptions sold via a direct enterprise field sales motion; pricing is not publicly disclosed and acquisition is demo-led. Its target customer is U.S. long-term care operators — nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and related provider groups — and the go-to-market relies on relationship-building, white-glove implementation, training, and ongoing support rather than self-serve onboarding. Valid Shifts is independently operated with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or M&A activity in the available sources, and operates with a team of 1–10 employees.

Direct peers

• OnShift: OnShift is a leading workforce management and shift-fill platform purpose-built for senior care and post-acute providers. It is the closest direct competitor to Valid Shifts, sharing the LTC vertical focus, shift marketplace-style fill tools, and time/attendance workflows.
• ShiftKey: ShiftKey operates a marketplace that connects healthcare facilities (including LTC) with independent healthcare professionals to fill open shifts. It directly parallels Valid Shifts' Shift Marketplace concept but works across external W-2/1099 workers rather than internal staff pools.
• Schedule360 (Hallmark Health Care Solutions): Schedule360 offers nurse and healthcare staff scheduling, credential management, and shift filling used by LTC and post-acute providers. It is a direct competitor with similar module coverage (scheduling, credentials, reporting) targeting the same buyer.

Broad incumbents

• UKG (Kronos): UKG (formerly Kronos) sells enterprise workforce management, time & attendance, and scheduling software used widely across healthcare including long-term care. It competes with Valid Shifts as a broad incumbent with deeper resources and a broader HR suite, but lacks Valid Shifts' LTC-only focus.
• When I Work: When I Work provides shift scheduling, time clocking, and team messaging software used across healthcare and other industries. It overlaps Valid Shifts on scheduling and shift fill but serves multiple verticals and lacks LTC-specific compliance and agency-reduction features.
• symplr Workforce (formerly API Healthcare): symplr's workforce solutions, built on the legacy API Healthcare platform, deliver scheduling, staffing, and time/attendance for hospitals and post-acute providers. It competes as a larger incumbent with deeper healthcare-specific workflows.
• Deputy: Deputy is a widely used workforce scheduling and time tracking platform serving healthcare, hospitality, and other shift-heavy industries. It competes with Valid Shifts on scheduling functionality but is a horizontal offering rather than an LTC-specialized one.

Emerging players

• IntelyCare: IntelyCare runs a technology-enabled nursing shift marketplace connecting healthcare facilities with nursing professionals. It is comparable to Valid Shifts' Shift Marketplace from the supply-side angle but operates as an external labor marketplace rather than internal shift redistribution.
• Humanity (Shifts): Humanity offers cloud-based shift scheduling, time & attendance, and team communication software used across shift-based industries including healthcare. It overlaps Valid Shifts on scheduling but is a horizontal, emerging vendor rather than an LTC specialist.
• Celayix: Celayix provides employee scheduling and workforce management software with healthcare use cases including long-term care. It is comparable on scheduling and shift fill but is a smaller, more horizontal vendor than Valid Shifts.
