Staff scheduling software that keeps every shift compliant, accurate, and fair
nimbus’ staff scheduling software interprets the complexity of modern workforce scheduling, from compliance obligations, skills requirements, to demand forecasts and operational goals. It turns these into accurate, best-fit shifts.
Learn more about how nimbus can unlock smarter, optimised, and fair schedules for your organisation.
Generate precise, compliant schedules that factor in staff skills, business needs, shift requirements and compliance obligations to ensure full, accurate shift coverage.
Leverage demand forecasting to accurately and intuitively match the best-fit employees to anticipated workloads, maintaining coverage while avoiding unnecessary labour costs.
Balance business needs with employee wellbeing. Equitable scheduling reduces burnout and fatigue, lifts morale, and keeps skilled staff available to service customers.
nimbus’ workforce management scheduling software enables organisations to generate compliant, optimised roster across roles, teams, departments, and locations while reducing manual effort and intervention.
- The nimbus rules engine checks every roster against award and contract conditions, flagging issues like insufficient rest periods, break violations, or overtime thresholds before a shift is ever published
- Automated schedule generation that meet rules, labour budgets, and demand in one go
- Multi-site, multi-role scheduling across teams, departments and locations for consistent operational matching
- Build schedules that consider industry-specific regulations, operational requirements, availability, skills and preferences before work happens
- Give managers the tools that surface information when they need it to make informed team staffing decisions
Not every employee is interchangeable. nimbus scheduling software matches staff to shifts based on skills and role requirements so the right people are always where they are needed most.
- Assign shifts only to staff who hold the right skills or certification required to perform duties. Multi-role employees can be scheduled across different functions for more flexibility
- Use anticipated volumes to schedule the right number of staff across cycles and roster periods, avoiding unnecessary labour costs that come with overstaffing
- Create best-fit schedules based on shift requirements, availability, skills, and preferences, assign adhoc activities and tasks to staff
- Set cost targets and signal variations to ensure schedules meet budgets before shifts hit payroll
Create schedules that balance your business and employee needs, while meeting compliance standards.
Real-time scheduling means that rosters can be built and then published to staff to view and manage their nimbus mobile app:
- A manager generates and publishes a schedule
- The employees receive published shifts via push notifications
- Staff view daily and monthly schedules through the nimbus mobile app
- Employees accept and reject shifts wherever they are, apply for shift swaps with the right, skilled colleagues, and
- Managers adapt resources as necessary based on update availability, leave, and shift swaps
Understand how nimbus’ scheduling software is defined by specific inputs, and what the software can influence as a result.
Take a compliance-first approach to staff rostering with a rules engine that ensures shifts adhere to labour laws, including work hour limits, breaks, and overtime.
Safeguard your organisation against wage theft and regulatory inaccuracies. Take a proactive, preventative step against payroll discrepancies, capturing compliance signals during scheduling and shift approvals, and minimising downstream errors to ensure staff are always paid correctly.
