Real-time rota insights
See your workforce status at a glance
See what's happening across your workforce the moment you log in. The live dashboard puts key metrics front and centre so you can spot issues early and make smarter staffing decisions before problems escalate.
Whether it's a no-show, overtime creeping up, or a certification about to expire — you'll know immediately. Each widget updates instantly as staff clock in, shifts change, or timesheets are approved.
Key metrics at your fingertips:
- Today's rota hours and expected labour costs
- Live clock-in status showing who's in, late, or missing
- Pending leave requests and timesheet approvals
- Upcoming certification expiries and compliance alerts
- Weekly labour cost trends and budget tracking
Rota reports
Build smarter, fairer rotas with data
Understand how your rotas are built and used in practice. Rota reports reveal the patterns behind your scheduling — which employees get the most hours, who's consistently unavailable via availability management, and where shift gaps keep appearing.
Compare scheduled hours against labour cost budgets to ensure you're scheduling within budget before publishing.
Rota metrics include:
- Total scheduled hours by employee, role, or location
- Staff availability patterns and unavailability trends
- Shift swap frequency and acceptance rates
- Open shift fill rates and response times
- Hours distribution fairness across the team
Time & attendance reports
Spot attendance issues before they impact payroll
Go beyond simple clock-in/clock-out records. A pattern of late starts, missed breaks, or unapproved overtime can signal deeper issues — from scheduling conflicts to disengagement. Time and attendance analytics help you identify and address these patterns early.
Link attendance data directly to labour cost reporting to see exactly how attendance issues affect your wage spend.
Attendance insights include:
- Late arrivals and early departures by employee
- Break compliance and missed break patterns (WTR rest break entitlements)
- Overtime hours and unapproved overtime tracking
- Clock-in variance (scheduled vs actual times)
- No-show rates and absence patterns

Payroll & labour cost reports
Control labour spend with real-time cost tracking
See labour costs in real time, spot overruns early, and make smarter staffing decisions before payroll is processed. Payroll reporting gives you visibility into every pound — comparing scheduled costs against actual timesheet costs, tracking overtime pay, and monitoring budget variances by site or role.
Spot where overtime is creeping up, which locations are over budget, and where efficiencies can be found — all before the pay run. Connect insights back to attendance data to understand why costs vary.
Labour cost metrics include:
- Scheduled vs actual labour cost comparison
- Wage spend by location, role, or department
- Overtime and unsociable hours pay tracking

HR & compliance reports
