RotaCloud

RotaCloud is a web-based workforce management product for businesses that run staff on shifts. Managers build rotas online, and employees look at their own shifts through mobile apps from wherever they have a connection. It also handles holiday requests and the recording of hours worked.

What RotaCloud offers

• Rota planning — a drag and drop builder for laying out shifts, with changes sent to staff automatically so nobody has to chase messages or photos of a paper rota.
• Leave management — staff request time off, and managers see allowances and how much has been used.
• Time and attendance — employees clock in by app or on site, giving accurate hours for payroll preparation.
• HR tools and reporting — employee profiles, document storage and signing, plus reports on absence patterns, hours and costs.

Who it works with

The product is aimed at many kinds of shift-based workplaces, including restaurants, cafes and bars, care homes, takeaways, vet practices and technology teams.
