Staff rostering software that integrates with Xero

Rostering software provides a streamlined and automated solution to employee scheduling that enables you to create your ideal staff schedule in minutes.

What is rostering software?

Rostering software helps you effortlessly create, manage and distribute employee schedules. Taking into account factors like employee availability, skill sets, shift preferences and labour laws, these apps help you easily handle shift swaps, time-off requests and overtime in just a few clicks.

Plus, when you connect rostering apps to Xero, you can sync payroll and employee data to eliminate double data entry.

What are the key features and benefits?

1. Cut down admin by automating your staff scheduling process and free up time to focus on other important areas of your business.

2. Streamline staff communication. Because they’re online and cloud-based, rostering apps allow you to send notifications, updates, and reminders to your staff from anywhere and easily handle shift swaps, time-off requests, and changes to schedules.

3. Maximise productivity by letting your app do automatic calculations around employee availability, labour laws and more to create more balanced schedules for your staff.

4. Make informed decisions with access to real-time data and reporting features. Identify trends, avoid over- or under-staffing, and address any performance issues.

5. Avoid double handling Sync payroll, time billing and invoicing data with Xero for improved accuracy.
