It has been just over a month since JustRosters launched. We are stoked to have around 100 members signed up; with next to no marketing! After write ups on a few tech blogs, we received a ton of feedback and support from fellow web developers – thanks guys (the blog writers and web developers)!

Instead of making a series of small improvements and constantly having to update our training videos and print screens, we have been busy working on a version 2. At this stage it looks like this will go live towards the end of the month. We see version 2 as a far more complete staff rostering solution. Most of the new features can be switched on or off with the click of a mouse. This way the interface remains uncluttered for those who appreciate the systems current simplicity.

Features we are working on:

Hour Tracking (Heavily requests!)
Keep track of total labour hours per day, per staff and per roster. Advanced features like lunch break exclusion for specific shifts can be added easily.

Cost Tracking
Keep track of the total staff cost per day, per staff and per roster. Weekend rates, overtime and public holidays are all taken into equation.

Shift Change Request
From the initial request to contacting and allocating a fill in staff member; JustRosters makes those last minute shift changes easier for everyone.

Custom Login Area
Customize your colours and upload your logo to make your JustRosters account look like part of your business. Your staff who login will really feel at home, err… work.

Staff Calendar Notes
Give your staff the ability to add notes to future dates. Perfect for staff needing to indicate times of the day they can’t work, without making a time off request.

Broadcast to Staff
Quickly and easily send messages to some or all of your staff via email or SMS. Handy when letting them know about meetings or events not on the roster.

Staff Roster Viewing
Let your key staff view full versions of rosters they are featured on, from home. Save them the time of having to come in and find out who they are working with.

Availability Rules
Effortlessly set the times and days each of your staff cannot work each week, every week. Great for those casuals with other commitments like another job or university.

As you can see, version 2 is no ’small’ update, it will effectively double time we have spent building the system and triple its features and value to users!

We will put a few screenshots of the new features up soon, in the meantime happy rostering!
