Building a Shift Matching Engine for Workforce Management SaaS — Day 18/45

One of the most painful operational problems in workforce-heavy businesses is shift assignment.

Manual scheduling often leads to the following:

overlapping shifts
uneven workloads
skill mismatches
constant back-and-forth coordination

So our team at Taskdudes built a shift matching engine to automate that process.

What the engine does
Filters employees by availability
Matches required skills
Prevents overlapping assignments
Balances workload distribution
Scores candidates intelligently.
Auto-assigns the best-fit employees
Tech Stack
Next.js
NestJS
PostgreSQL
Redis

This product is being built collaboratively by our team as part of a 45-day public build challenge.

We’ll continue sharing architecture decisions, backend logic, UI progress, and lessons learned throughout the journey.
