Streamlining Shift Management: Solving the 04:30 No-Show Crisis
The labour market has changed fundamentally over the last decade, yet many of the systems supporting it have remained static. At CWS 2026, we aren’t here to deliver a traditional pitch or launch a product in a vacuum. We are here to start a conversation with the leaders who know the friction best. We want to design the infrastructure of the future alongside you.
We aren’t just dreaming of a better system; we are already orchestrating the reality where your frontline operations and procurement standards finally exist in one place.
We haven’t just started yesterday; we have spent over 15 years building the core of this technology. We have already built a significant part of this vision—orchestrating a reality where your frontline operations and procurement standards finally exist in one place. Shiftplanner is our answer to the disconnect between the warehouse floor and the boardroom. It is technology designed with a heartbeat: aware of context, reactive to change, and built to strengthen human judgement rather than replace it.
Not just the procurement team or the CFO. Imagine a system designed for the humans inside it. What would that look like for your organisation? We need you to think along to help us shape the architecture of the future.

The issues we see with four leaders in the industry are structural. Every day, they fight against a VMS that was never designed for them. We need you to help us redesign it—it only takes one question to help shape the market. Here is what we see:
Dependent on a system that slows them down and allows requisitions to disappear into invisible workflows.
Accountable for everything but in control of nothing, serving as the bridge for a broken system.
Treated like a data entry operator instead of a partner, fighting poor portal UX and vague feedback.
The revenue in the programme, yet treated as an administrative problem with confusing onboarding and expiring documents.
Think along with the VMS of the future and win a bottle of champagne.
No legacy constraints. No technical debt. Just one question: would you build what you have today?
Help us shape what comes next. Answer one of these:
What is the one structural frustration you would remove from your current VMS?
If you could redesign implementation from scratch, what would change?

Here is your detailed savings report, . We'll be in touch shortly to walk you through the results.
* Savings estimates are based on Nétive VMS client outcomes and industry benchmarks (SIA, Ardent Partners). Conservative modelling assumptions applied throughout: 60% rate recovery factor; 45 min post-VMS confirmation time; €22/hr blended internal staff cost; 70% admin automation rate; 60% compliance risk mitigation. Year 1 Total Investment includes licence fee (0.4% of spend), implementation (€50K), integration (€50K), and internal change effort (0.1% of spend) — one-off costs in Year 1 only. From Year 2, investment reduces to licence fee only. Actual results may vary.
