Deputy can help your business

Overview

Deputy is the leading solution for businesses managing shift workers, including those in hospitality, retail, healthcare among other industries. Connect Deputy and Xero and you’ll spend less time organising your team (and their paperwork), and more time where it matters.

  • Insights driven scheduling and rostering that creates optimal schedules in minutes.  With Deputy's intuitive drag-and-drop roster builder, you can see live wage and sales reporting, easily copy/paste shifts or templates, or use our AI-powered scheduler to auto-build optimal schedules in a single click. 

  • Modern time tracking software that captures accurate, digital timesheets on any device. Employees can clock in/out on their device (iOS/Android) or a kiosk. Geolocation and facial recognition ensure accuracy. Digital timesheets are auto-created and sent to managers for approval. 

  • Employee management and wellbeing tools that keep your team engaged. Deputy's features empower employees and managers: leave management and unavailability tools prevent conflicts, while open shifts and shift swapping offer schedule flexibility. Shift Pulse gives managers valuable insights into employee well-being, reducing churn. Our HR product streamlines onboarding, ensuring a 5-star experience for new hires from day one. 

  • Powerful reporting, to surface the data you need to drive your business forward.  Leverage Deputy's pre-built reports for insights into commonly used metrics like wages, timesheets, and sales, or create custom reports to analyse specific aspects of your business performance. 

  • Streamlined payroll, taking your pay run time from days down to minutes. With approved timesheets seamlessly sent to Xero, eliminate double data entry and reduce errors, completing payroll in just a few clicks.

  • Flexible pricing to suit your business. Choose a plan that works for your business, pricing starts from only $5+GST per user per month for 5 users with access to all features (minimum $25 per month +GST) with pricing plans exclusive to Xero customers when you purchase through the Xero App Store.

Deputy is trusted by over 300,000 workplaces to simplify rostering, timesheets, award interpretation, and manage new hire onboarding, staff communication, and engagement.

No Customer Service

After the initial onboarding a paying the monthly bill, the customer service is less active than a ghost town. Tried calling our initial rep, phone disconnected. Easier and quicker to do an IT Course and build a new system

Just don't do it (40 years in business)

Clumsy system, lacks decent customisation options, messaging system abysmal, no option to schedule across periods > week (averaging has to be manually tracked) - honestly I struggle to find any advantage over Xero and a spreadsheet.
