- What is automated rostering?
Automated rostering, or auto-rostering, is a way of using artificial intelligence to create an optimal roster for your staff. It helps remove guesswork and frustration, while also limiting the chances for human error.
- What is the best automated rostering system for small businesses?
There are a number of criteria that can help you decide on the best automated rostering system for your small business, including user interface, usability, integrations, and cost.
- How do you set up an automatic shift roster?
You'll find that setting up an automatic shift roster is easy to do in Deputy. Configuring your automatic shift roster will require a few pieces of initial information (demand signals), such as units you project to sell in a given period and staff count. Once your business demand is set, you'll be able to easily allocate shifts according to a few simple pieces of logic, after which Deputy will auto-fill the empty shifts with the most cost-effective allotment of employees.
- Is there a free app for rostering employees?
Deputy is the best free app for rostering employees. Not only is Deputy easy-to-use, our software enables you to roster the right people at the right times and automatically factors in staff availability.
- How do I improve my roster efficiency?
Improving rostering efficiency requires automation to avoid time-consuming, repetitive tasks while still considering your bottom line. A rostering software can take staff availability, demand, and time-off requests into account and build optimal rosters accordingly. When last-minute changes are needed, quickly adjust rosters and use in-app communication to save time notifying the team.
