# Route and roster planning for Sanand shifts Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels builds staff transport routes from your shift rosters: pickups grouped by area, ordered so the vehicle reaches the gate before the shift change, and sized to the headcount. Changes come in before cut-off times you set, and one office team dispatches every company's shifts. - Pickup order planned - Your cut-off times - One dispatch team ItemIn the contractRoutesBuilt from your rosterChangesBefore your cut-off timeDispatchOne office team, all companiesPlanVehicle plan per companyTrip changesOnly with office approval Drivers may not change an assigned trip without office approval, and the GPS record shows any change. ## How are employee transport routes planned? From the roster. We group employees by pickup area, order the pickups so the vehicle reaches the plant gate before the shift change, and pick the vehicle size for each route. Your company sets the cut-off time for roster changes, and one office team dispatches all shifts with a vehicle plan per company. - **Per area**: Pickups grouped - **Before**: The shift change at the gate - **Your**: Cut-off times for changes - **1**: Dispatch team for all shifts A good roster plan is mostly about the last ten minutes: the pickup furthest from the plant, the employee who is always late, the gate that only opens for vehicles on a list. We plan around those, not around the map alone, and we revisit the plan when the roster changes rather than letting drivers improvise new pickups on their own. ## Which of your shift changes fall in the night window? Enter your three shift changes; pickups that fall between 10 PM and 6 AM carry the 20% night charge, which matters when you decide shift timings. ## How do roster changes work day to day? Your coordinator sends changes before the cut-off; our office updates the plan and sends driver details; drivers follow only the approved plan. - **Coordinator sends changes.** Additions, removals and shift swaps, before your cut-off time. - **Office updates the plan.** Routes and vehicles adjusted for the next shift. - **Driver details go out.** Name, phone and car number before each pickup. - **Drivers follow the plan.** No changes without office approval; GPS shows any deviation. - **Report confirms it.** The daily trip report shows what actually ran. ## Route planning questions From shift planners and HR. ### Who sets the cut-off time for roster changes? Your company. We agree it when the contract starts and work to it. ### Can an employee ask the driver for a different pickup? Not directly: drivers may not change an assigned trip without office approval. The employee asks your coordinator, who tells our office. ### Do you plan routes for all three shifts? Yes, morning, general and night shifts, seven days a week. ### How are vehicles sized for each route? By headcount on that route: a sedan for up to 4, an Ertiga for 6, an Innova Crysta for 7, and Tempo Travellers or buses for larger groups. ### Do you need full home addresses? Pickup points are needed to plan routes; they are shared under your NDA and seen only by our office and the route driver. ## Related contract guides - [Employee transport](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/employee-transport.html): The full service. - [Night-shift cabs](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/night-shift-cab.html): Safety at night. - [Coordinator and escalation](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/escalation-coordinator.html): Who handles changes. - [All contract guides](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/corporate-contracts.html): The full list. **Short general answers in our [Knowledge Hub](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/)** - [Can you accommodate changes in employee shift timings?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/employee-transport/changes-in-shift-timings-and-pickup-points/) - [Do you offer fixed-route transportation for industrial employees?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/employee-transport/fixed-route-transport/) - [Do you provide transportation for employees working in rotating shifts?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/employee-transport/rotating-shifts/) - [Can we share our employee pickup locations and shift schedule for route planning?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/employee-transport/share-employee-locations-for-route-planning/) **Written by [Vaibhaviba Bhavsinh Solanki](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/author/vaibhaviba-bhavsinh-solanki.html)**, owner of Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels: GST and MSME registered, 8+ years in business, with cars based near Sanand and an Ahmedabad office in Ghatlodiya.
