Hear from our customers
See what New Zealand organisations have to say about running their rosters on Rosterit.
“Rosterit has greatly improved the rostering process by creating a live system where staff can login and check up-to-date rosters. The ability to text offers has lessened response times for filling shifts and the staff have been quick to embrace the system.”
“We sometimes have staff that have to cancel their shifts at short notice, but we need them replaced immediately. Rosterit does this automatically and we always have the right staff in the right place. The payroll is then automatically exported into our payroll provider and it saves us so much time!”
“This programme has made a huge difference to effectively manage our 70+ staff in a number of locations. The ability to send automated shift offers by text message and then have empty shifts filled automatically means that a lot of work can be done with minimal time spent trying to contact people.”
Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most before people start.
What kind of organisation is Rosterit best for?

How much does Rosterit cost?
Every plan includes every feature. Your price depends only on how many users you have: free for up to 5, $45 a month for up to 15, $75 for up to 25 and $120 for up to 40, plus GST. Use the pricing calculator to see your exact price.

What support and training do you offer?
Every customer gets our Help Centre, guided walkthroughs on every page and free email support from our New Zealand-based team. Onboarding Plus ($500 + GST, one-off) adds initial set-up, data migration and three 1-hour training calls.
Can staff use it on their phones?
Yes. Staff can view their roster, accept shift offers, pick up open shifts, clock in and check timesheets from any phone, with nothing to download from an app store. Rosterit can be added to the home screen like an app. Managers can see who is clocked in and approve on the go.
How do I fill an open or last-minute shift?
Send a shift offer to everyone who is qualified. Staff can accept by text, email or push notification, and you can confirm by replying Yes or No to the text.
Does Rosterit handle New Zealand public holidays and overtime rules?
Yes. Rosterit includes New Zealand public holidays, including regional anniversary days, and supports overtime, double time and meal break rules.
Does Rosterit integrate with my payroll?
Yes. Approved timesheets export in the format your payroll provider imports, including Xero, MYOB, Smartly, iPayroll and others. If yours is not listed, let us know.
