Rota & staff management with a drag & drop interface

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.

    Positive, has helped these businesses manage rota's and staff working across multiple locations with variable hours, cloud-based platform is better as staff can access the rota at any time, from any internet enabled device

    Pros

    Easy to manage variable hours employee rota patterns
    Simple absence recording tool for holidays, sick, etc
    Holds personal data securely and safely on a cloud based platform, so mobile employees can access on any internet device, e.g. phone, I-pad, laptop, etc

    Cons

    Sometimes a bit sticky when entering rota's drop's down to wrong employee after click
    Not easily customised but this is common with any SAAS cloud based platform
    Not going to replace a fully integrated HR system to hold other records, e.g. appraisals etc

    After struggling with a very complicated spreadsheet that was difficult to update, share and distribute, Rotacloud made a huge difference to our calls system.

    Pros

    It is easy to create calls and shifts and to then use Rotacloud to check that there are the right number of people with the right skills in the right place at the right time.It also allows employees to see notes about the shift and what will be expected of them.Rotacloud was recently updated which made it even easier and more effective to use.

    Cons

    To access the Bulk Edit feature meant upgrading to the next level which was more expensive and unlocked many features that we don't need. So a more modular upgrade system would be nice.

    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

    Very good. Customer service is great but as we grow we would like weekend support as well. we are a 24/7 operation

    Pros

    Ease of implementation and ease of use. Very Very easy to use

    Cons

    Some areas are being developed. Would like to be able to put staff changes on in advance so they come into action on the specified date. At present have to sent a reminder in my calendar.Not able to control who picks up available shifts - so don't use this function. We have to consider skill mix in our rotas.We would like a HR option as well but cost is a factor - we are a charity.
