Stop Losing Hours to Manual Staff Rostering
Managing employee rosters manually – through spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls – costs your business time, money, and accuracy. As your workforce grows and project demands become more complex, the risk of scheduling errors, compliance gaps, and payroll discrepancies increases.
Rostering software streamlines the entire scheduling process, giving managers real-time visibility into staff availability, qualifications, and worksite requirements. Instead of spending hours building rosters from scratch, your team can plan rosters in minutes, respond to changes instantly, and ensure every employee is compliant before they step on site.
For industries that rely on project-based, rotational, or compliance-driven workforces – including mining, oil and gas, healthcare, transport, and industrial services – the right rostering software isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of efficient workforce management.
Essential Features of Our Rostering Software
OPMS delivers a comprehensive rostering software platform with the features that matter most to businesses managing large, complex teams across multiple worksites. Here’s what you need to streamline your employee rostering and workforce management.
Informed Scheduling
Create and publish staff rosters in minutes with intelligent scheduling tools. Build recurring rotation patterns, manage project-based cycles, and allocate employees based on availability, qualifications, and worksite needs – reducing manual data entry by up to 80%. Our rostering system makes it easy to plan resources for your entire workforce, saving time and ensuring the right staff are in the right place.
Real-Time Roster Visibility
Track your entire team in real time. Managers gain instant visibility into who is rostered, who is on site, and where gaps need to be filled – ensuring your business is always adequately staffed. Real-time data provides the control you need to make fast, informed decisions about employee scheduling, and the platform keeps updates visible to managers and employees alike.
Travel & Logistics Visibility
See travel arrangements alongside your roster in one view. OPMS provides visibility of flights, accommodation, and transport logistics within the rostering platform, so managers can coordinate personnel movements and ensure travel aligns with project schedules – particularly valuable for FIFO and remote workforce operations.
Timesheets & Time Tracking
Capture accurate hours worked through integrated timekeeping and clock-in functionality. Digital timesheets flow directly into payroll, eliminating manual data reconciliation and reducing errors. Our time tracking features ensure that every clock-in and clock-out is recorded, giving your payroll team the verified information they need for accurate pay processing.
Employee Self-Service
Empower your staff with a self-service portal where they can view upcoming rosters, update their availability, and manage their own compliance documents – reducing the administrative burden on managers. The responsive online platform makes it easy for each employee to use self-service tools on the go, reducing back-and-forth and keeping rosters up to date. When employees have easy, online access to their roster and employment information, engagement improves across the board.
Compliance & Qualification Management
Ensure every employee rostered for a job holds the required qualifications, training, and certifications. OPMS automatically flags compliance gaps before they become a risk, helping your business stay compliant and pass audits with confidence. Our platform provides tracking and reporting tools that ensure your organisation meets all employment and regulatory obligations.
Bulk Employee Communication
Quickly contact groups of employees based on their project assignment, availability status, or roster allocation. Whether you need to reach everyone working on a specific project or notify available staff of upcoming opportunities, OPMS makes it easy to send targeted bulk communications via email and SMS.
Payroll Integration
Seamlessly connect your rostering data with payroll systems for fast, accurate pay runs. OPMS integrates with leading payroll and accounting platforms – including Xero – to ensure hours, allowances, and pay rates are processed without manual intervention. This integration streamlines the process from roster to payslip.
Reporting & Insights
Access customisable, real-time reports on labour costs, roster coverage, workforce utilisation, and compliance status. Report by job and project to understand true labour cost, confirm coverage, and forecast staffing needs for upcoming work. Generate project-specific reports using customisable templates tailored to your business requirements. Our reporting features provide the data your business needs to control your budget, plan staffing levels, and make efficient operational decisions.
Communication & Notifications
Keep your team informed with automated roster notifications, updates, and essential alerts delivered via email and SMS – so every employee knows where they need to be and when.

Reduce Labour Costs
Streamlined scheduling helps you plan staffing levels based on actual demand, preventing overstaffing and reducing unnecessary overtime. With real-time budget tracking, managers can control wage costs before they escalate – keeping your business on budget and your workforce management efficient.

Streamlined rostering frees your management team to focus on higher-value work across each project. OPMS is designed to save time at every step of the scheduling process.
Improve Employee Satisfaction
When employees can easily view their rosters and update their availability through a flexible online platform, engagement improves. Transparent scheduling builds trust and reduces the friction that leads to turnover.

For businesses managing complex or multi-site workforces, you should also prioritise features like rotation management, travel logistics visibility, bulk rostering capabilities, and communication tools for reaching teams by project or availability.

Look for a system that makes it easy to create rosters, track staff availability, and ensure compliance across your entire workforce. See the full list of OPMS platform features.
How does rostering software integrate with payroll systems?
Rostering software integrates with payroll systems by automatically transferring employee scheduling data – including hours worked, overtime, and allowances – directly into your payroll platform. This removes the need for manual timesheet entry and significantly reduces the risk of payroll errors. OPMS, for example, provides seamless integration with leading payroll and accounting systems like SAP, ensuring that data flows securely from the roster to the pay run. This integration also supports compliance by creating a verifiable audit trail between the rosters an employee worked and the wages they were paid.
What industries benefit most from using rostering software?
Rostering software delivers the greatest benefit to industries that rely heavily on project-based, rotational, or compliance-driven workforces. This includes mining and resources, oil and gas, healthcare and aged care, transport and logistics, industrial services, and marine operations. These sectors typically manage large teams across multiple worksites and require strict adherence to training, certification, and employment regulations. Rostering software ensures that every roster is staffed with qualified, compliant employees – reducing operational risk and administrative overhead. Any business that needs to plan and manage staff rosters across complex scheduling requirements will see significant value.
What are the advantages of streamlined scheduling?
Streamlined scheduling saves significant time by replacing manual roster creation with intelligent, data-driven tools. Managers can build and publish rosters in minutes rather than hours, respond to last-minute changes instantly, and ensure that compliance requirements are met before any employee is assigned to a job. Efficient scheduling also reduces labour costs by preventing overstaffing and unnecessary overtime, improves employee satisfaction through transparent and predictable rostering, and provides real-time data for better workforce planning and budget control. It simplifies the entire rostering process from start to finish.
Are there free rostering software options available for small businesses?
Yes, there are free rostering tools available on the market that cater to small businesses with basic scheduling needs. These platforms typically offer core roster creation and employee notification features but may lack advanced functionality like compliance management, payroll integration, real-time reporting, and multi-site rostering. For organisations managing larger or more complex workforces, investing in a purpose-built rostering platform like OPMS ensures you have the tools, integration capabilities, and compliance assurance needed to manage your staff effectively and at scale. OPMS also offers a free demo so you can see the platform in action before making a decision. Request your demo today.
