Why better rostering matters
Organisations that put their people first are becoming the employers of choice in a highly competitive labour market. Providing roster flexibility, while building rosters collaboratively, prevents employees from leaving jobs with rosters that don’t fit into their lives.
Begin with an intelligent forecast
Lay a strong foundation in order to efficiently align labour to demand. Project the labour needed to meet demand by using a combination of historical data, recent trends, and seasonal predictions. Or, simply import anticipated business demand.

Auto-generate intelligent rosters
Save hours generating a best-fit roster by automatically taking into consideration business demand, labour budget, employee preferences, workforce skills and certifications, union rules, rest rules, and the like.

Support agile staffing
Share workers across locations or job roles through centralised rostering. Use visual indicators and KPIs to make quick adjustments. Plus, workers themselves can trade shifts on their mobile devices to help balance staffing coverage.
