Built for complex rules
From rest-period regulations to on-call patterns and local policies, the engine encodes every constraint so rosters are automatically compliant.
Workforce — Roster Optimisation Software
Fair, compliant rosters — published in days, not weeks
Our algorithms handle complex rostering — particularly on-call rotas — ensuring local and nationally mandated rule sets are met while keeping shift distribution fair for clinicians. What used to take weeks of manual balancing can now be published in days.
Constraints optimised: No consecutive weekends, Minimum rest between shifts, No clash with approved leave, Fair distribution of night shifts, On-call spread evenly, Contracted hours respected, Unsocial shifts shared fairly, National rule sets enforced, Skill mix balanced, Training rotations covered, Annual leave accommodated, Emergency cover guaranteed.
Why Roster Optimisation?
Many important rosters in healthcare are too complex for spreadsheets and legacy eRostering systems. Our optimisation software turns rules, demand and fairness into rosters that can be published with confidence.
Fair by design
Algorithms optimise for even distribution of unsocial, weekend and on-call shifts across clinicians — so fairness is built in, not checked afterwards.
Clinician-centred
Rosters are built around real people, their availability and contractual obligations — not rigid templates that need to be manually adjusted afterwards.
Save weeks of admin time
Automation removes the manual balancing that drags out every roster cycle, saving weeks of administrative effort while producing higher quality, defensible rosters.
Protect clinician availability
Rest, leave, on-call and other commitments often collide in complex rotas. The engine flags and resolves these clashes so clinicians stay available to care and services spend less on agency and locums.
Respond to change in hours
When a clinician is no longer available to a roster, traditional redesign can add weeks to the cycle. The optimisation engine absorbs the change and reruns the roster in hours, keeping publication on track.
Our Proven Approach
A repeatable implementation path, with the flexibility to fit how your organisation currently rosters.
01
Discover
We map your current rostering, rule sets, on-call patterns and the concerns of clinicians and rota managers.
02
Design
We model constraints, fairness objectives and preferences in the optimisation engine — configured to your organisation, not a generic template.
03
Deliver
We integrate with e-rostering and source systems, train users and go live with working, publishable rosters.
04
Optimise
We tune algorithms, monitor outcomes and adapt as rules, demand or workforce expectations change.

Real workforce & rostering engagements — what the challenge was, what we built and what changed as a result.

Get your complex roster published — fairer and faster
Building and balancing a complex, multi-constraint roster by hand eats hours every cycle. Send us one of your hardest rotas and we’ll reproduce it in the optimisation engine — then show you how the same roster could be fairer, fully compliant, and published in a fraction of the time. There’s no cost and no obligation; it’s the quickest way to see the hours optimisation gives back to your team.
- We rebuild your real roster against your own rule sets and constraints
- You see how optimisation cuts manual balancing from hours to minutes
- A ready-to-publish, compliant roster that’s fairer across every shift
