Shift Rosters & Auto-Scheduling at Scale
Build, publish and optimise shift rosters across hundreds of sites with rule-driven auto-scheduling.
- Rule-driven auto-scheduling
- Shift swaps & open shifts
- Demand forecasting
- Skill & certification matching
- Statutory rest period compliance
- Mobile roster app
A complete overview of the Shift Management module
Radix Shift Management replaces spreadsheet rosters with a constraint-based scheduling engine that builds compliant rosters in minutes. Demand forecasts inform coverage; skills and certifications determine who is eligible; statutory rest, max-hours and union rules are enforced automatically; and a mobile-first roster app brings swaps, open shifts and clock-in into the same experience employees actually use. Operations leaders see coverage gaps before they happen instead of after they hurt.
Business problems this module solves
If any of these sound familiar, you are paying the cost of a missing platform — in time, money and employee trust.
Manual rosters
Spreadsheet rosters take days to build and break the moment a demand or staffing assumption shifts.
Compliance landmines
Statutory rest, max-hour and union rules get violated quietly until an audit or grievance surfaces them.
Last-minute coverage gaps
No-shows and swap chaos leave shifts under-covered and operations scrambling.
Skill mismatches
Right body, wrong skill — schedules ignore certifications and produce service quality issues.
Key features of Shift Management

Frequently asked questions
How does the auto-scheduler handle constraints?
It uses constraint-programming to satisfy hard rules (rest, max hours, skills) and optimise soft preferences (employee picks, fairness).
Can employees swap shifts?
Yes. Employees initiate swaps in the mobile app with rule-checked validation and configurable manager approval.
Does it integrate with payroll?
Yes. Shifts feed attendance and overtime directly to Radix Payroll or external payroll systems.
Does it support union compliance?
Yes. Union rules — including max consecutive shifts, mandatory breaks and seniority rules — are codified in the rule engine.
Can the scheduler optimise across multiple sites?
Yes. Build rosters across sites with shared staff pools, travel-time constraints and site-specific demand patterns in one optimisation pass.
How are employee preferences captured?
Employees register preferences, availability and unavailability in the mobile app and the scheduler weighs them as soft constraints with fairness controls.
Does it support split shifts and on-call?
Yes. Configure split shifts, on-call rotations, standby pay and call-out rules with statutory limits respected.
Can published rosters be locked?
Yes. Define lock windows, change-control policies and minimum-notice rules so last-minute changes follow governance.
