ZoomShift comes into action at these places. It allows you to schedule the timings and shifts online, making it easy for all the employees to get updated or notified about the changes in shift timings. The application also helps to monitor the time and performance of the employee.

Later in 2011 he took it through Milwaukee tech startup incubator 94labs, where he met Jon Hainstock, co-founder of ZoomShift. They started a digital marketing agency, Tailwind Creative, in the next year which helped them to get fund for the development of ZoomShift.
