Stop Rebuilding the Entire Excel Roster Because Five Employees Changed Shifts at 6 PM
In almost every 24x7 support center in Delhi NCR, the transport coordinator's toughest hour is between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM. The shift Excel sheet has already been emailed to cab vendors - and then team leads start messaging on WhatsApp: three agents extended their shift, two swapped login times, and one moved to a new PG address.
24x7 Shift Roster & Gate Boarding
What Was Happening Before
- Excel Version Confusion: The transport desk was manually editing master spreadsheets late every evening and re-sending files to vendors, leading to drivers showing up at yesterday's pickup list.
- Phone-Call Firefighting: Between 8 PM and 11 PM, dispatchers fielded dozens of calls from employees asking, "Where is my cab?" while vendors scrambled to share vehicle numbers.
- Sub-Optimal Cab Grouping: Under time pressure, coordinators grouped routes by rough pin codes rather than actual road sequences, leaving 4-seater cabs half empty on parallel roads.
How Easy ETS Changed the Workflow
- Kept Excel + Added Quick Change Forms: The team continued uploading their familiar master roster Excel, while late shift login/logout changes were submitted through a one-click web/app form with manager approval.
- Automated Grouping with Manual Override: Easy ETS grouped employees automatically by shift time and pickup corridor, while still letting experienced dispatchers drag-and-drop passengers when local traffic demanded it.
- Self-Service Live Tracking for Riders: Employees saw live cab ETAs on Google Maps inside the Rider App (even on weak 2G mobile data) and boarded using OTP check-in - cutting desk inquiry calls dramatically.
