Staff Roster Solutions provides an advanced scheduling and optimization engine for employee auto-scheduling.

The engine interfaces with existing workforce management solutions (both standalone applications and web-based, software as a service) via an xml-based modelling lanaguage.

The modelling lanaguage allows the implementation of the wide range of rules, requirements, constraints and objectives found in different workplaces.

The engine uses state-of-the-art algorithms to automatically generate optimal staff rosters and employee shift work schedules and is is currently licensed by organisations in Europe and North America. The algorithms were designed and developed over a number of years by a university research group prior to the formation of Staff Roster Solutions.

Download and try out Roster Booster for a demonstration of our solvers or to evaluate them on your rostering problem.

Roster Booster is our freely available modelling tool which is used for testing and developing XML problem instances.

As well as generating solutions, the engine can also be used to instantly identify and highlight any rule violations as shifts are assigned or to suggest employees to assign a shift to.
