Request
A dispatcher taps once. Their place is visible without a radio call, sticky note, or side conversation.
Built for 24/7 communications centers
Coverage stays visible.
Breaks keep moving.
One live relief board for the whole shift—so dispatchers know who is out, leads know what is safe, and nobody has to chase the next break across the room.

Made for the part of the shift that never slows down.

A quieter way to coordinate
The next break should not depend on who remembers to ask.
BreakBoard gives the room one source of truth. Requests enter a visible queue, coverage limits stay in view, and every device updates when the floor changes.
Cover
The board shows the active limit and who can provide relief. Leads keep judgment; the room keeps context.
Step away
The timer starts, the floor updates, and reminders arrive before the break ends—not five minutes after.
Return
One tap clears the slot and brings the next person forward. No manual list to reconcile.
Lead view
Run the floor.
Not the spreadsheet.
Set the guardrails once, then handle the exceptions that actually need a lead.
- Coverage limits stay visibleWaiting requests do not become accidental understaffing.
- Extra breaks stay deliberateApprove exceptions without losing the standard shift plan.
- The record fixes itselfCorrect a missed return, reset the shift, and export the history when needed.
