Intelligent rostering for shift-based and multi-site businesses. Award-compliant by design.
average labour cost savings from optimised rostering
faster rostering with automated compliance checking
compliance with Award requirements (automatic validation)
If you run a shift-based business, rostering is one of your biggest operational challenges. Get it wrong and you are either overstaffed (killing margins) or understaffed (killing customer experience).
Layer on Award compliance — maximum hours, minimum breaks, penalty rate triggers, spread-of-hours provisions — and rostering becomes a weekly puzzle that nobody in your business is qualified to solve optimally. Most shift-based businesses leave 5–15% in cost savings on the table.
Manual rostering is time-consuming and error-prone
Compliance checking happens after publishing (too late)
No visibility into labour cost implications
Employee satisfaction and retention suffering

We work with KeyPay, Deputy, and other major rostering platforms. If you are already on a platform, we will assess whether it meets your needs or recommend an alternative.
Typically 5–15% for businesses that have not previously optimised their rostering. The savings come from better alignment of staffing to demand, reduced unnecessary overtime, and penalty rate optimisation (e.g., structuring shift times to minimise penalty triggers where operationally possible).
We incorporate employee availability and preferences into the rostering process. The system balances your operational needs with employee preferences, reducing scheduling conflicts and improving roster satisfaction.
Shift swaps, sick calls, and no-shows are managed within the rostering platform. Replacement shifts are filled from available staff, with Award compliance checked automatically.
Many Modern Awards specify minimum shift lengths or minimum engagement periods (e.g., minimum 4-hour shift even if only 2 hours of work is available). Our rostering system respects these Award requirements automatically.
Yes. Every roster includes cost modelling showing budgeted labour costs, optional vs. mandatory overtime, and penalty rate implications. You can compare multiple scenarios before finalising.
For multi-site businesses, rostering is centralised but each site maintains its own demand patterns, staffing pools, and compliance requirements. You can move staff between sites if they are cross-trained and the Award permits.
Historical demand data (typically 12 weeks), current rosters, employee classifications and availability, Award requirements, and your cost targets. We handle the rest.
