Problem being solved

Staff scheduling forms a significant proportion of overall costs in service and retail businesses. Staff costs are often the largest single expense. Payroll and related expenses can be over 30% of the operating costs. A reduction in this by even 1% represents considerable cost savings and differences to the organisation’s bottom line. Staff scheduling is a key element of management planning in such circumstances.

Benefit being provided

Staff scheduling and rostering, has become increasingly important as business becomes more service oriented and cost conscious in a global environment. Optimised staff schedules can provide enormous benefits.

Functions

RotaBout represents an innovative way using “Fingertip Staff Scheduling”. This will allow small businesses to better schedule staff or manage staff shift rosters. RotaBout includes functions to allow handling of rosters (Rotas), shifts (Bouts), different roles or skills (Posts) and separate staff members against skills (Souls).

ROTA

A Rota (or roster) is the main calendar view of the RotaBout application. It contains a set of Bouts (or shifts) with assigned Souls (or staff) with particular Posts (of roles), which is over a period of a number of days, which is typically a weeklong. This can be tailored to be any number of days, such as a day week or a fortnight for example. Rotas can be in draft or in published mode once completed and sent out to staff. Factory Rota templates are provided for typical businesses.

BOUT

A Bout (or shift) is typically up to a 4-hour working period for one Soul (or staff), but this can be tailored to any period of time. Bouts can be created intuitively by directly tapping on the calendar view. Bouts are assigned to Rotas.

POST

A Post (or role) is tailored to the business. Posts are typically names such as Manager, Waiter, Barista, Chef, etc, which also contains a skill description. Factory Rota templates can also provide Post templates for typical businesses. Posts can be assigned to Bouts.

SOUL

A Soul (or staff member) is also tailored to the business. A Soul includes name, email, phone and an image. Souls can be assigned to Posts and Bouts. A factory accelerator allows you to import Souls from your contact names on your phone.
