Why it matters

The best retention tool might be a shift swap

When teams can see their shifts early, swap with a colleague and pick up extra hours easily, they’re simpler to schedule, happier at work and far more likely to stick around.

The Rotageek app puts the rota, shift swaps, open shifts, availability and team messages in everyone’s pocket, so the flexibility your people want doesn’t cost managers any control.

  • See new shifts the moment they’re published
  • Swap shifts or pick up open ones in a few taps
  • Set availability and preferences once, and have them respected every time

Sound familiar?

The problems we hear most, and the part of the platform that fixes each one.

  • “Staff don't know their shifts until the last minute”

  • “Shift swaps are arranged by text and approved by hand”

  • “Open shifts stay open for days”

Everything you need to get employee engagement right

What your teams use every day, on their own phones.

  • Mobile app

    Staff check shifts, share availability, request leave and swaps, ask for open shifts and clock in, all from the Rotageek rota app on iOS and Android.

    Explore mobile app →
  • Shift swaps

    Staff handle shift swapping from their phone, colleagues who can work a dropped shift are told, and you decide which sites need a manager to approve swaps.

    Explore shift swaps →
  • Holiday requests

    Employees request holiday in the app, and managers check cover before approving. Approved leave goes straight onto the rota, so nobody is rostered while on holiday.

    Explore holiday requests →
  • Clocking in and out

    Clock in and out from your phone or a shared device. Every minute is recorded accurately, so you’re paid for exactly the hours you’ve worked.
