### **PowerRoster™ is an intelligent workforce rostering and allocation platform, designed to manage the complexity of frontline operations.**

Organisations managing shift-based workforces often rely on manual processes, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems, making it difficult to balance demand, skills, availability, and compliance. As a result, teams face inefficiencies, increased risk, and limited visibility across operations.

PowerRoster addresses this by combining automated rostering, optimisation, and AI to help planners and team leaders put the right people in the right place at the right time.

Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, PowerRoster provides a unified solution for workforce scheduling, compliance management, and frontline engagement.

### **Core Capabilities**

- **Intelligent Rostering & Allocation**

Automate shift creation and workforce assignment with AI-driven recommendations and optimisation, plus flexible daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and rolling roster patterns.

- **Workforce Visibility & Planning**

Gain real-time insight into workforce availability, demand, and utilisation with dynamic scheduling views, worker availability profiles, and Power BI reports.

- **Compliance & Governance Built In**

Enforce labour laws, fatigue policies, and contractual rules through a configurable compliance engine.

- **Frontline Workforce Empowerment**

Enable frontline employees with mobile access for shift management, availability, leave requests, swaps, and time entry, plus notifications by email, Microsoft Teams, or in-app.

- **AI-Driven Workforce Intelligence**

Leverage AI and Copilot capabilities for intelligent scheduling and decision support, including Copilot roster generation and the ShiftLens AI agent, which works by filling last-minute gaps within the rules you set while your team stays in control.

**From planning to execution, PowerRoster brings intelligence, automation, and control to workforce management - all within the Microsoft ecosystem.**
