The benefits
What Shift Planning does for you
Create, move or copy shifts at the touch of a button
Pick the person, the day and the times, and you are done. Need to move or duplicate a shift? Simply drag and drop it.
Easily manage shift patterns
Shift patterns are a breeze to create and manage. Build patterns for your workforce, then roll them out into the future with RotaOne automation.
Set and track departmental budgets
As you build rotas, set budget limits for each department. RotaOne checks budget performance in real time, so managers see immediately if a budget is broken.
Ensure your staffing levels are correct
To improve safety and efficiency, set minimum and maximum levels for particular kinds of employee, such as first aiders or forklift drivers, and get real-time warnings when staffing drops below your compliance thresholds.
Publish rotas to your employees through the self-service app
Don’t waste time or paper sending emails or printing rotas from a spreadsheet. The RotaOne employee app helps your workforce see and stay in touch with their schedules, past and future.
Switch between daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views
Get a grip on your rotas and payroll costs with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views. Costs, hours, budgets, planned and actuals, all in one place and a click away.
Filter rotas by department, shift type, job, role and qualification
Whether you are checking who is on holiday next month or need to find a first aider or a supervisor in an emergency, RotaOne’s flexible searching delivers the answer in an instant.
Stay within contracted and maximum hours
Employee contracts often control when or how long an employee can work. RotaOne helps your managers stay inside those limits.
Help employees see unfilled shifts and find overtime
Employees can see unfilled shifts in the app and put themselves forward, so gaps are covered by your own people rather than agency staff.
