I am sure that this is something very simple, but I'd be grateful for some insights!
This phrase appears in a case study for a piece of time-management software. The case study concerns a large French transportation network that has a bus breakdown unit which has to be permanently on-call. The context here is as follows:
Avec une activité fonctionnant 24/24h en 3/8, l’entité de dépannage ne possédait pas de logiciel leur permettant de gérer efficacement les temps de présences et d’activités de leurs salariés
Is this that dreadful new-fangled term "24/7"? Please help! Thanks in anticipation.
