Online rota software for retailers
The retail industry’s changing fast — and your store needs to change with it. Instead of accepting staffing issues like no-shows, rota mix-ups, and time theft as an unavoidable part of doing business, you can tackle them head-on — with a little help from RotaCloud.
RotaCloud is cloud-based staff scheduling and time tracking software that’s designed to reduce rota headaches. We know first-hand how tricky rotas can be in retail, so we built something to change that.
Bringing rota planning into focus
Award-winning opticians Cameron Beaumont started using RotaCloud in March 2017. We spoke to dispensing optician Jacqui Leach about why she chose RotaCloud to plan rotas and manage annual leave.
RotaCloud is a great way to plan your rotas. I can update it anytime, anywhere. It’s made the rota-planning procedure so much easier than it used to be — it frees up my time so that I can do other things.
Utilising modern technology to support the business is something we’re very passionate about.

of RotaCloud customers say the system saves them time every day
Communicating schedules is instantaneous, and with colleagues being able to use the mobile apps, RotaCloud is a crucial part of our business. The team at RotaCloud are second to none!
Jasdeep Singh, Owner, J&H Local
I’d say we’re probably saving about two or three days out of the month for each department. It’s a massive saving.
Darren Longworth, Human Resources Business Partner, Clothes2Order
It makes it so much clearer to plan without worrying that we’ve over- or under-staffed — that’s something RotaCloud has massively helped with.
Anna Jennison-Phillips, Operations Manager, Alice Caroline
What really surprised me was a financial saving — due to getting the rotas more organised, we discovered we didn't need as much part-time and weekend cover.
Graham Sterry, Managing Director, Barbed
[Implementing RotaCloud] has freed me up to focus on starting other small businesses to add to our current set.
