Roster Monster

Problem

Planning employee schedules is crucial for smooth government operations in lean organisations. Doing it manually can be tedious and time-consuming, taking up to two weeks each month. Moreover, it's tough to ensure all stakeholders are satisfied while juggling different constraints.

Solution 

Roster Monster (RoMo) is the go-to automated rostering planning tool for government operations – where everyone’s happy, every shift, every time! 

Unlike cumbersome manual methods, RoMo alleviates the burden on roster planners by automating manpower allocation across shifts with an intuitive solver. Planners can now effortlessly 

1. Set constraints without relying on external vendors, 

2. Streamlining the entire rostering process to mere days or less, and 

3. Prioritise strategic tasks instead of tedious roster planning. 

Impact

We believe RoMo can potentially 

1. Make over 1,400 roster planners happier monthly,

2. Reduce roster planning hours by minimally 112,000 hours monthly, and

3. Save potential costs of at least $42mil yearly for procuring bespoke solutions
