I'm not familiar with this, but how is this better than just using calendar invites and an intranet? (Can't access the link currently, pardon me if this is addr

  For establishments that don't have company-issued hardware, it's difficult to standardize on e.g. Outlook calendar, Apple calendar, etc. Text messages and email are easy to standardize on, without putting too much burden of expectation on the employee to have high-end modern hardware capable of running the scheduling software client.

  1) Workers on prepaid cell phones don't have access to a calendar. (Many don't even have email addresses.) 2) When workers are onboarded via text message, we send them an ical links so they can add the schedule to their phone calendar directly! 3) Calendar invites don't scale well beyond 5 employees. We've seen it in user studies. It's ugly and hard to use.
