First of all - Happy New Year!! I hope everyone enjoyed the break, if you managed to take one. The last new year’s resolution I have remaining, is to increase the communication between myself and all of the great people that we have met using the software, or following the JR blog; I will be damned if I will break that one too!

What happened in 2009

2009 was a big year for JustRosters. It evolved from an idea, into a working product, then manifested into a feature rich rostering solution; and all in a matter of months! We have continued to make changes and build features based on feedback from our clients, and we are very happy with the stability of the platform.

All up we helped 243 companies around Australia assign 25,416 shifts to their 5,455 staff, with very few issues. Due to commitments with our ‘day job’, we did not get to develop or sell JR anywhere near as much as we wanted, but this will be changing ASAP!

Here are a few of the things we are working on now, or will be working on very soon:

- A support forum, in which to discuss all matters rostering, with other managers.

- Integration with Facebook.

- Award wage management; for improved cost forecasting.

- 2-way notifications which allow staff to confirm availability / shift changes by replying to SMS’s or emails sent from the system.

To be honest, we are not doing enough as far as marketing or selling JR goes at the moment; this is misguided considering how well the product is received by the people who do hear about it. We are currently looking for an energetic, hungry, sales person to help our client numbers explode. We are happy to offer a small salary with a generous commission structure, to the right person.  If you are interested or know anyone with mad skills in selling, please email me.

Happy rostering!
