Nowsta is a Brooklyn, New York workforce management platform for hourly, gig and contingent labor, used by more than 25,000 teams across hospitality and food service, events and venues, healthcare, logistics and distribution, education and retail. The platform covers the full shift lifecycle - talent sourcing and onboarding with a built-in ATS, AI-assisted shift scheduling with demand forecasting and templates, GPS/geofenced time and attendance with automated alerts and timesheet approval, labor-cost and compliance reporting, and payroll/accounting handoff - alongside a vendor management module for coordinating staffing agencies. Workers use a dedicated iOS/Android app and the my.nowsta.com portal to claim shifts, set availability and clock in; coordinators work in app.nowsta.com. For partners, Nowsta publishes an allow-listed Integration API that lets an upstream system (event management, CRM, catering or venue software) publish events, shifts, positions, venues, clients, uniforms and workers into Nowsta in bulk.
