More time for care, less for round planning.
Klacks automatically plans rounds and consecutive shift rotations, and monitors the 56-hour exception for continuous shift operations live. Installed on your premises, so sensitive patient data covered by the PDPL is stored on your own servers.
Note on the sample data: All names, places (for example Winterthur), addresses and figures in these recordings are fictitious demo data with a Swiss background, written in Latin script. They only illustrate the product – you do not need to know or be able to read them. In your own installation you enter your own data, and the interface is multilingual.
Continuous shift work and the 56-hour limit
Justifying the 56-hour exception correctly
For roles involving consecutive shift or rotation work, Art. 15 of Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022 permits an average working week of up to 56 hours — a narrowly defined exception that must be justified, not a blanket licence.
Matching qualifications to every client
24/7 care rotations often change the caregiver on duty — yet every visit still has to match the qualification and availability of the carer assigned.
Protecting sensitive patient data under the PDPL
The PDPL classifies biometric and health data as sensitive personal data — including when clocked via mobile time tracking during client visits.
Your finished shift plan in three steps
Install
Klacks is installed on your own infrastructure — via Docker; allow about half an hour for the first start.
Adjust rules
Public holidays and rest periods come preconfigured for your country, surcharges where defined for your country — and you can adjust them anytime.
Plan automatically
Klacks builds shift plans, flags conflicts and optimizes routes — with an AI assistant if you want.
How Klacks takes the load off home care in the UAE
From a justified shift exception to data storage on your own servers — everything works together.
Rounds automatically optimised
Klacks plans visit routes between clients so that journeys stay short and time windows are met.
The 56-hour average monitored live
Klacks monitors the rolling weekly average live and warns before the 56-hour limit of the exception under Art. 15 of Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022 is exceeded — instead of simply assuming it applies.
Qualifications factored in automatically
Every visit is only assigned to carers with the matching qualification — with no manual checking at all.
Data storage on your own servers (PDPL)
Klacks runs on your own infrastructure. Sensitive patient and time-tracking data are stored on your servers; the AI model can be run locally on request.
Klacksy understands your request
"Fill tomorrow's rounds" is all it takes. If someone calls in sick, Klacksy immediately suggests available cover with the right qualification.
What Klacks can do — in real recordings
Short videos from the running app, sorted by topic. Choose a chapter; only the video of the open chapter ever plays.

- Klacksy helps you get it right in every one of these cases: describe your rule in the chat in your own words, for example “Sundays earn a 50% surcharge.” — Klacksy asks follow-up questions, shows a preview and only saves once you confirm.
- Klacksy also creates scenarios and starts planning inside them — tell it in the chat, for example: “Plan Winterthur from November 2 to 8.”
- Klacksy, the built-in AI assistant, can also do all of this for you on request — for example, tell it in the chat: “Add expenses of 24.50 for Mia on October 6.”
A calendar that keeps pace with the moon
In the United Arab Emirates, all official public holidays are decreed centrally by the UAE Cabinet — uniformly for all seven emirates, with no cantonal or municipal variation like in Europe. The real challenge lies elsewhere: holidays whose exact date is only confirmed at short notice, and businesses that plan across several Gulf states.
- Uniform nationwide, confirmed at short noticeEvery holiday applies equally across all emirates — but religious dates such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are confirmed only by a national moon-sighting committee, often just days in advance. New dates can be added to Klacks the moment they're announced.
- Mix calendarsA Dubai business with branches in Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Oman needs several country calendars running at once — moon sightings occasionally differ by a day between Gulf states, and national days fall on different dates to begin with.
- Binding or purely informationalFor each calendar, you decide whether a holiday affects hours & premiums — or simply appears as a reminder.
It all comes down to the settings
Klacks offers countless ways to calculate rules and hour credits for nights, weekends, public holidays and overtime — exactly the way your contracts and company agreements require.
- Nights and weekends You set the night window and the surcharge rates yourself, and choose up to three weekend days — as a multiplier that is added to the hours worked as a time credit in hours.
- Public holidays and overtime A separate public-holiday rate, and overtime per day or per week in up to three tiers. When several surcharges fall on the same hour, the highest one applies — or all of them add up.
- Your own calculation with a macro If that is not enough, a macro does the maths: a short script using weekday, time of day, public holidays and contract values — with conditions, loops and functions of your own.
- Scheduling rules Rest periods, maximum daily and weekly hours, consecutive working days, free Sundays or hour caps per period — each one as a warning or, in automatic planning, as a block.
Rule violations: Klacks warns you instantly
Klacks flags time collisions, rest periods that are too short, too many consecutive working days and work on holidays right as you plan — as an error or warning in the error list.

The shift exception and the round, one plan
Klacks monitors a caregiver's rolling weekly average live and warns before the 56-hour exception for shift operations is reached or exceeded, while planning the round between clients at the same time — no manual recalculating required.
