Auto-Scheduling

Set staff availability, shift requirements, and contracted hours once, then auto-populate your weekly schedule with a fair, balanced distribution. Most teams set up their recurring shifts once and use auto-populate weekly to assign shifts instantly.

Real-Time Updates

Shift changes are shared instantly via email, and staff always see the latest version in the app. No more chasing people down — everyone stays updated without extra effort.

Track Hours

Easily see how many hours each team member is working and how close they are to contracted targets. Calculate staff costs as you build, helping you stay on budget while filling shifts.

The easiest to use rota planner with the most features for a very reasonable price. They even added a feature we requested within 24 hours.

Tim Edmonds

Really useful for me as a business owner. They're always updating features and implementing feedback.

James Sharpe

Organising staff is incredibly accessible. Assigning different roles and skills has made planning future shifts much easier.

Our origin story...

Why we built RotaPlanner

We built RotaPlanner because existing rota tools were clunky, expensive, or both. We wanted something simple, effective, and fairly priced for every team that needs it.

We received a lot of requests from our Absentia customers that were looking for better solutions to tracking team rotas. They said the existing solutions didn't quite hit the mark.

So we decided to build our vision of what a great rota planner should look like — easily managing and sharing your rotas online, without the price tag.

Designed to be simple but effective, our rota software is fully hosted so there is nothing for you to manage.

It's still a new tool so feel free to give us feedback so we can work to improve it!

We're in it for the long term and we wont stop until we've build the best possible rota planner software.
