Once built, one call from your code
Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get per diem orders” would look like.

ShiftWise’s own options
ShiftWise publishes no API documentation or developer portal for staffing agencies. Its software page says ShiftWise Flex can be integrated with HRIS, scheduling, timekeeping and financial systems, set up in consultation with ShiftWise. Help for users sits inside the site, in the Need Help menu.

|---|---|---|
| Integration through ShiftWise | Connections to HRIS, scheduling, timekeeping and financial systems, as described on ShiftWise's software page. | A consultation with ShiftWise. No public documentation, price or self-serve key. |
| Staff Time Tracker | Your staff enter the time for their own shifts. | A Staff Time Tracker code that your agency gives each staff member. |

Signing in to ShiftWise
ShiftWise signs you in with a username and password. Your organization's ShiftWise Administrator, the Super User, gives out usernames and resets passwords. With Fous you sign in once through ShiftWise's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.
Worth knowing
- Lists stay empty until you search
- The Timeslip, Per Diem Order and Long Term Order List pages first ask you to select search criteria and click Go. That is why the methods here take a date range as an input.
- Per diem and long term orders are listed apart
- Per diem orders and long term orders have their own list pages. A method reads one of them, so build one for each kind of order you fill.
- Payment Rcvd saves only on Update Rcvd
- Checking Payment Rcvd on the Statement List page saves nothing until you click Update Rcvd. Only statements in invoiced status can be updated.
- Accounts come from your Super User
- Usernames and password resets come from your organization's ShiftWise Administrator. ShiftWise Customer Support answers Monday to Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PT, excluding holidays.

They can reset their password with the email address on their staff profile and the Staff Time Tracker code your agency gave them. Without a code, they can keep track of their time and enter it once they have one, or track it with the facility.
No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own ShiftWise Flex account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
