One place for the working week

The simple rota your staff want, with the depth managers need.

FlowRota keeps the employee experience straightforward. Staff can check shifts, submit availability, request leave and respond to changes without learning a complicated workforce system.

Behind that simple experience, managers can build rotas, review clock-ins, monitor labour costs, manage allowances, record absence and spot configured shift-rule concerns before publishing.

That means fewer disconnected spreadsheets, fewer screenshots and fewer small admin jobs surrounding every rota.

FlowRota bullet PLAN

Build rotas around the information that matters.

See availability, leave, roles, locations and working patterns while shifts are being prepared.

FlowRota bullet PUBLISH

Give everyone one reliable version of the week.

Publish changes once and let staff view the live rota through web, iOS or Android.

FlowRota bullet REVIEW

Compare planned work with what actually happened.

Use clock cards, timesheets and attendance records without rebuilding the data elsewhere.
