The deadline-driven confirm flow that stops no-shows.
Build the week in twenty minutes.
Table-based rota builder with three view modes, automatic conflict detection, recurring patterns, and shift-confirmation deadlines. Drag a shift, the system flags an availability clash before you publish; copy last week's pattern in two clicks; set a confirmation deadline so Thursday morning shows you who didn't tap yes — not Saturday at five.
What it does
Our Needed Work workflow lets managers plan work requirements before assigning. Drag to extend a shift, click to copy last week, type to add someone. Conflict detection warns against double-booking. Skills, availability, overtime, and holidays are checked at the moment you assign.

How it works
Open the table for the week. Drag cells to extend or split shifts. Right-click to assign based on availability. The system warns if someone is already scheduled, near their weekly limit, or unavailable for that role. Publish once, employees get notified, confirmations roll in before your deadline.
Why this matters
Most managers spend 2–6 hours a week building rotas manually. The table view plus templates and recurring patterns cuts that to twenty minutes for most teams. The early warnings stop Saturday-afternoon scrambles before they start.
