About Deputy

Designed for industries like retail, hospitality, healthcare, and field services, Deputy helps businesses create optimized schedules, track work hours and breaks, assign and monitor tasks, and share announcements—all from one app. Its intuitive dashboards and mobile-first design make it easy for managers and team members to stay connected and productive. Teams adopt Deputy to reduce administrative overhead, ensure compliance, and foster smooth, transparent operations across locations and shifts. Whether you’re managing a small café or a multi-site retail chain, Deputy streamlines your workforce management from end to end.
Use Cases in Practice
Let’s see how AI agents powered by Runbear can supercharge Deputy for your business.
Imagine your shift supervisor asks in Slack, “Who’s on call tomorrow?”—and instantly the AI agent replies with the Deputy schedule, formatted for easy reading. Or, picture the weekly payroll review happening in your team channel, with the AI agent serving up timesheet summaries pulled live from Deputy. From automated daily shift digests to the ability for any team member to create Deputy tasks via chat, these use cases turn your team’s chat into a command center for workforce operations.
Whether you’re a retail coordinator, restaurant manager, or operations lead, the integration eliminates context switching, surfaces real-time answers, and keeps your whole team on the same page.

Deputy vs Deputy + AI Agent: Key Differences
Integrating Deputy with Runbear’s AI agent transforms manual, time-consuming staff management into seamless, conversational workflows in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord. Instead of switching between Deputy dashboards and team chat, your team leverages AI to orchestrate scheduling, reporting, and task management—right where collaboration happens. This integration slashes repetitive work, reduces context switching, and empowers team members with instant access to Deputy data.
Implementation Considerations
Adopting the Deputy + Runbear workflow requires upfront planning to ensure a smooth rollout. Teams should prepare by granting secure, appropriate permissions for the AI agent to access Deputy data. Initial setup may require training so team members understand how to interact with the AI agent in Slack or Teams—especially for sensitive requests like payroll summaries. Leaders must also assess whether automation will change approval flows or compliance processes, and update company documentation to reflect new procedures. Ongoing monitoring is key to make sure the integration maintains accurate, up-to-date linkages; for full data governance, regular audits and clear access control policies are recommended. While the cost of Runbear is often offset by reduced admin hours, organizations should analyze ROI based on improved productivity and fewer manual errors.
