Focus on growing your business, not managing your rotas

Online rota software for IT and communications

RotaCloud software

IT and comms businesses might be office-based, but working 9–5 Monday to Friday is anything but normal. With complex shift patterns and flexible working arrangements to manage, and customer support coverage to maintain, it can be tricky to keep track of everything.

Let RotaCloud do the hard work for you. Gain complete control and visibility over every aspect of the staff rota, from copying complex shift patterns across weeks and months, to tracking time accurately — even across different time zones.

Using RotaCloud has saved management a lot of admin time, and time is precious in a busy, dynamic business!

We've seen major improvements in leave management. We can now add embargoes for busy days and months, so that when two front-end developers have approved leave, we still have a third developer around.

RotaCloud has reduced our administration time on rotas by 40-50 hours per week.

I would wholeheartedly recommend RotaCloud to other businesses — it’s changed the way I work completely.

I’d say we’re probably saving about two or three days out of the month for each department. It’s a massive saving.

Leave management fit for digital natives (and technophobes!)

Employees increasingly expect businesses to use apps and efficient software for every admin process. Requesting leave, sharing availability, and organising shift swaps are no different. RotaCloud is a platform for all these processes — and our focus on user-friendliness means everyone feels comfortable using it.
