Mitigate the risk in your roster. Find the opportunity in your workforce.
RosterWise checks your roster for the working patterns that build up tiredness: short rest between shifts, nights, long shifts, long runs of days and high weekly hours. It shows which shifts need attention and why, so you can decide what to change. On Business Pro and Enterprise, you can add your sales data too.

Worker 03, Thursday into Friday. A 23:00 finish followed by an 07:00 start leaves 8 hours between shifts, under the 11-hour daily rest reference. Evidence: both shift times from the uploaded roster.
Worker 06, every supplied shift. No earlier shifts were supplied, so rest and consecutive-day checks stay Limited data rather than being assumed fine.
Three steps.
1. Drop your files
Drop your roster, sales or commercial data: an Excel file or CSV.
2. See risks and opportunities
A prioritised list beside the calendar shows what needs attention, why, and what information is missing.
3. Decide
Compare a proposed change before and after, then accept, adjust or dismiss it. Your roster is never changed for you.

These patterns are easy to miss in a spreadsheet. Seeing them early gives you time to change the roster.

Show how you review working patterns.
Employers must assess and manage risks from fatigue. RosterWise gives you a consistent check of every roster, the reason behind each flagged shift and a record of what you decided. You stay responsible for the decision; RosterWise doesn’t certify compliance.
See where staffing and trading are out of step.
On Business Pro and Enterprise, add your sales data and RosterWise lines it up with who was working, by site, day and time period. It shows patterns it observed and options it has evaluated, as estimates: a pattern isn’t proof of cause, and nothing is a forecast unless it says so. Any change is checked against the roster rules again before you decide.
