Keep shop floor, warehouse, and delivery covered

Employee rostering for retail

AI conflict‑free scheduling

Match roles and skills to sales traffic

RosterElf’s rostering software creates conflict‑free schedules that align cashiers, stockers, and pick‑pack‑deliver teams to demand. Drag‑and‑drop tools, live labour budgets, and reusable templates make it easy to plan sales events and peak trade hours. Costed rosters reduce admin, improve compliance, and keep service levels high across departments.

Accurate hours every shift

Time and attendance for retail teams

Mobile and kiosk clock‑ins with GPS/photo

Payroll‑ready timesheets without disputes

Replace paper timesheets with time & attendance. Staff clock in/out via mobile or kiosk with GPS/photo verification, capturing start, finish, and breaks accurately. Approved hours flow into payroll‑ready timesheets, reducing disputes and ensuring award compliance for shop floor, warehouse, and delivery roles.

Award interpretation made simple

Payroll integration for retail

Connect to Xero & MYOB

Fast, accurate pay runs

Approved timesheets sync directly to payroll with penalties, allowances, and overtime applied automatically. Payroll integration ensures staff are paid correctly and on time—eliminating re‑keying and reducing admin—while managers track wage spend against sales targets.

Approvals that sync instantly

Leave management for retail

Keep coverage during absences

Plan around holidays, sale events, and sickness

Staff request leave in the app and managers approve with one tap. Leave management updates rosters automatically so checkout, warehouse, and delivery coverage continues during holidays or last‑minute sickness. Automated updates reduce scramble‑calls and protect customer service during peak trade.

Staff connected on mobile

Mobile apps for retail

Notifications, open shifts, and swaps

Reduce no‑shows and miscommunication

Managers publish roster changes in seconds, and staff receive instant mobile alerts. With mobile rostering, employees confirm availability, accept open shifts, and request swaps. Real‑time communication keeps teams aligned across stores, distribution centres, and delivery runs.

Track training and certifications

HR compliance for retail businesses

Stay audit‑ready

Food safety, equipment, and RSA where required

HR tools store training, equipment qualifications, and (where applicable) RSA with automated expiry reminders. Managers ensure only qualified staff are rostered for restricted roles or equipment, reducing compliance risk and simplifying audits across stores and warehouses.
