Finally, scheduling built for climbing walls.
For years we've wrestled schedules in systems built for shops and call centres. This one is ours: every modern scheduling feature, AI baked in, and honestly a joy to drag around.
Dana cannot be rostered here: First Aid at Work (expired).
Set to block rostering. An override takes a written reason.
โจ Priya holds First Aid at Work, in date.
No clash, not on leave, inside her contracted hours.
From your rules to payroll
- 1
Set the rules once: who can do what
Qualifications attach to departments and to roles. Per qualification you choose warn or block. Block means the save is refused rather than flagged, and an override takes a written reason that goes on the shift's record. It works whether or not you own the training module.
- 2
Build the week your way
Split shifts, several roles on one person, departments, contracted and zero hours side by side. Save any week as a template, or bring one in from Deputy, Planday, RotaCloud or a hand-kept sheet by mapping the columns once.
- 3
Let the assistant fill the open shifts
One tap proposes a person for every open shift, drawn only from people who pass the hard rules: no clash, no approved leave, nothing they are not qualified for. Approve, amend or reject; it all lands as a draft.
- 4
Staff sort swaps themselves in the app
Availability that copes with real lives, shifts confirmed or declined with a reason, and swaps agreed between the people who work them.
- 5
Hours flow to payroll, locked and tidy
Time and attendance actuals, pay rules, locked pay cycles, and exports to Xero or QuickBooks.
Everything in the module
All shipped, all true of the product today.
The assistant fills open shifts
One tap proposes a person for every gap, only from people who pass every rule. You approve, amend or reject.
Things worth a look
Weather, bank holidays, your events calendar and the same week last year, as a few written prompts. They change nothing on their own.
Availability that copes with real lives
Term time, second jobs, one-off Sundays: it all fits.
Shift swaps
Staff sort cover between themselves; managers keep oversight.
Team chat
One thread that actually reaches everyone on the schedule.
The team app
The same app carries team news, documents and messages, so shifts need no second subscription.
One work profile per person
Training, incidents and floor walks hang off the same person across PeerVantage.
Time and attendance
Check-in walls capture actuals, lates and no-shows honestly.
Pay rules with locked cycles
Locked pay cycles freeze the record; accounting reads the snapshot, never a recount.
Exports to accounting
Hours out to Xero or QuickBooks, matched by stored IDs.
Staffing KPIs vs industry
Check-ins per customer-facing hour, benchmarked against the cohort.
