Roster Optimisation Technology

Our roster optimisation is more sophisticated than genetic AI tools. AI-suggested improvements work with what rosters currently exist, but if they're not efficient, it will cement inefficient rosters. Our tool allows clients to provide critical information from which truly mathematically optimised rosters can be created. These are complimentary to existing rostering tools.

Pay Review Technology

Strategic dashboards and comprehensive reporting deliver total visibility across your payroll compliance.

As the original pay review solution in the market, we're trusted by sophisticated users who demand audit-proof accuracy and legal compliance over visually appealing but potentially non-compliant alternatives. Our reviews stand up to scrutiny without requiring re-auditing.

Insights On-Demand

Total visibility through strategic dashboards

Summary insights at your fingertips

Pay Review gives you the summary insights you need, whether you're reviewing 6 months or 6 years of historical payroll. Use our dashboards to uncover areas of importance and provide an executive summary of the issues.

Comprehensive BOOT Analysis

The engine provides a comprehensive BOOT (Better Off Overall Test) which drills down to shift-by-shift cost comparison and can be rolled up to pay category. This functionality is very powerful for Enterprise Agreement modelling, enabling you to assess the true impact of proposed changes and ensure compliance whilst optimising workforce costs.

Enterprise Agreement Modelling

Pay Review delivers a definitive and comprehensive position on the cost of EBA scenarios. Our detailed reports provide precise clarity on proposed agreement changes, with granular breakdowns of each cost category and individual employee impact analysis.

This advanced capability represents the next generation of EBA modelling technology. Organisations still relying on spreadsheet-based analysis are missing critical intelligence that could significantly influence negotiation outcomes and long-term workforce costs.

Employee Reports

Comprehensive compliance overview

Access detailed employee-level reports showing underpayments, overpayments, employment types, and classifications across your entire workforce.

Individual Reports

Detailed breakdown & analysis

Drill down into individual employee reports with comprehensive breakdowns of paid vs. owed amounts, employment details, and specific compliance issues.

We are leading the way

See how our products can work for you through a selection of different industriesWe continue to expand our coverage.

Aged Care

New requirements to support the aged care sector are challenging business to meet higher levels of direct and indirect care. We're working with providers to optimise rosters that will close gaps in rostered care minutes whilst maintaining high levels of support across the business by finding efficiencies in how existing workforce is scheduled to meet.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

We work with a range of SIL providers of various sizes to mathematically optimise rosters in line with the SCHADS award and Enterprise Agreements, incorporating the base Roster of Care requirements to ensure participants' care and routine are maintained.

Fast Food

We helped a well known fast food company reduce wages with consistent business rules and achieve 100% compliant base rosters whilst improving customer service and increasing sales per work hour.

Utilities

To understand the impacts of proposed EBA clause variations before reaching agreement in negotiations with staff and unions, we helped a utility business model future outcomes and improved their Service Level Agreement with better client response times.

Retail

The Holiday Peak Period for a retailer with close to 100 stores was made more manageable by accurately forecasting additional customer service hours required and effectively rostering the existing staff to reduce hiring new casual roles.

Manufacturing

Rostering for a specialist manufacturing company meant meeting the requirements of an Enterprise Agreement, fatigue management guidelines, Union requirements and preferred work patterns of staff which they were unable to develop themselves.

What our clients say

"We were recently introduced to WFA Roster Optimisation and the outcomes have exceeded all of our expectations. Financially we have reduced costs by over 7%, but the benefits have been more than financial. We have been able to introduce a system that ties all of our approved rosters of care directly to roster needs, which allows us to keep our customers at the focus of our supports."

Leigh Tull

CFO, ConnectAbility

"My goodness - I was not prepared for the results! Small changes produced such significant savings. We achieved roster changes that were accepted by our employees, delivered outcomes that were better than what they had originally, and the business saved money. Was an absolute game changer for me and I'll never spend another minute trying to develop a roster now that I have seen the huge success I can achieve with Roster Right."
