Boilerplate
ShiftSee is a shift work platform for small and mid-sized businesses. Founded in 2025 on Vancouver Island, BC, by Tony Aly and Pat Rousseau, ShiftSee unifies scheduling, targeted shift requests with built-in negotiation, and emergency shift broadcasts in one platform. It's the first shift marketplace to let workers counter-offer on rate and time for every shift.
ShiftSee serves hospitality, fitness, cleaning, trades, and other shift-based industries across British Columbia, with expansion to Los Angeles planned for 2027. The company is a Delaware C-Corporation with headquarters on Denman Island, BC.
