RotaCloud

Fuss-free rota planning software for your business

Visit RotaCloud

RotaCloud is a cloud-based workforce management platform that brings rota planning, time and attendance, and HR administration into one system. It is designed to reduce the manual work involved in scheduling shifts, handling leave requests, tracking attendance, and maintaining staff records, while giving managers a clearer view of labour costs and working hours.

The platform includes a drag-and-drop rota builder, shift templates, automatic shift notifications, and an employee app for viewing rotas and submitting availability. Holiday management covers leave requests, allowances, embargoes, rules, accrual, and TOIL tracking. HR tools include employee profiles, document storage and signing, absence management, and reporting on hours, costs, and absence patterns. Time and attendance features support mobile and tablet clocking in, GPS restrictions, terminal clocking, automatic timesheets, lateness flagging, and payroll export. Integrations are available with payroll providers such as Sage, PayCaptain, and Staffology, HR systems including People HR and Breathe HR, calendar platforms such as Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple Calendar, and automation through Zapier, alongside an API for custom connections.

RotaCloud is aimed at small and medium businesses across industries including care, healthcare, retail, hospitality, professional services, and leisure. It is web-based and accessible on modern browsers, computers, smartphones, and tablets. A 30-day free trial is available without payment details, and the service is billed on a monthly or annual subscription with no setup fees or long-term contract. Time and Attendance and SMS notifications are offered as add-ons.
