About RotaCloud

RotaCloud is an online rota management and staff scheduling platform with a drag and drop interface for building rotas, as well as tools for managing time-off requests, tracking attendance, logging employee hours, and more. The cloud-based tool allows managers to build, share, and manage rotas, and ensure that staff and employers are on the same page at all times. RotaCloud can be accessed using any desktop or mobile device with internet connection, and the native mobile apps for Android and iOS allow employees to check their schedule and manage their shifts on-the-go.

The rota planning tools within RotaCloud allow managers and HR professionals to create staff schedules, using a drag and drop interface, taking into account relevant data including staff availability, hours worked to date, scheduled time off, and more. Users can manage and build rotas for multiple locations and an unlimited number of employees. Staff roles can be assigned and color-coded in order to aid users in understanding where staff shortages may occur, and conflicts can be avoided with automatic alerts when unavailable staff are added to the rota. In the event of recurring shift patterns, users can simply copy and paste rotas into the following weeks or months, and make edits as needed.

RotaCloud also facilitates time and attendance tracking by providing employees with self service staff logins, from where they can clock in and out of shifts, make time-off requests, input unavailability for shifts, swap shifts with colleagues, track annual leave, and more. Permissions can be managed to control which employees have access to certain functionalities, and approval workflows can be setup for routing requests. RotaCloud integrates with third party HR tools, PeopleHR and breatheHR, for synchronizing payroll reports and ensuring that employee records and leave entitlements are accurate across all systems.

Key benefits of RotaCloud

  • Build rotas for one or multiple locations or teams using the drag and drop interface. The calendar layout allows users to see gaps in the schedule and avoid conflicts, and shift patterns can be copy and pasted week-on-week when suitable.

  • Benefit from automatic notifications, via SMS, email or push, to employees when new shifts are added or changes are made to shifts, and notifications to managers when employees make requests, ensuring no one misses important information.

  • Facilitate employee self service by providing all employees with their own unique login to a portal where they can make leave requests, view their schedules, report sickness, view their remaining leave entitlements, and more.

  • Track employee hours with mobile clocking in and out, GPS location tracking, attendance alerts, and automatic timesheet creation. Clocking in can be carried out via a pre-configured terminal at the office, web-based time clocks, or by entering a PIN into the mobile app during arrival and departure.

  • Reduce overstaffing, understaffing, and conflicts with RotaCloud’s color-coded rota and alerts. Employers are able to see which teams or areas are under or over staffed due to color-coding, and notifications alert managers if they try to schedule an employee at a time when they are unavailable.

    Absolutely fantastic. Sales and aftercare are second to none

    Pros

    Sometimes creating rotas can be a hassle, but the algorithms of this software makes life easy and generates rotas with ease

    Cons

    It could take my job! Rotas are the one thing that takes time and patience, however this software eliminates that. It's a con, but a positive one. Sometimes as it's cloud, there is downtime

    Brilliant. We have seen RotaCloud grow and constantly improve with new features. Rotacloud remains simple to use and as our go to rota/time keeping software.

    Pros

    Very adaptable to our working patterns across the whole business. Provides instant transparency of hours, shifts, holidays and reports to both administration and our team.

    Cons

    Be useful to have budget forecasts split between teams, so easier to manage at a smaller local level within one physical location.

    overall the experience is good. I have been a customer for many years

    Pros

    All staff details are in one place. staff are emailed rotas which makes it easier. Holiday requesting is also useful

    Cons

    Some of the other features are a bit clumsy to use. for example the uploading of recruitment documents. The budgeting add-on is confusing to use and not very clear to view. Maybe colouring certain blocks would help

    We moved from using excel spreadsheet rotas with numerous versions to this software. It has made rota planning so much easier as the business has grown.

    Pros

    Quick and easy to view shifts for myself and my staff

    Cons

    It would be great to be able to drag shifts from one location to another. Zero hours contacts annual leave calculation without the rest of the Time & Attendance module would be useful.
