Bottom line
Rotageek is a workforce management platform for multi-site, shift-based organisations, covering demand forecasting, labour modelling, digital scheduling, auto-scheduling and time and attendance. It targets retail, hospitality and healthcare employers with hundreds to tens of thousands of staff, and emphasises expert-led onboarding with go-live in weeks rather than months. Support and 24/7 in-app resources are included in every plan; pricing is quote-based, so cost must be modelled with sales.
Frequently asked questions
Who is Rotageek designed for?
Rotageek is built for multi-site organisations with hundreds to tens of thousands of hourly employees, such as retail chains, hospitality groups, leisure operators and healthcare providers. Buyers normally have a central workforce planning, operations or HR function and a genuine scheduling pain, rather than a handful of salaried staff.
How long does implementation take?
The vendor says implementation takes weeks, not quarters, from kick-off to location-wide go-live. Approach and timelines are agreed before contract signature, and implementation is run by Rotageek's own team. Expect the heaviest work to be integrations with payroll, HR and time and attendance systems, and historical data for demand forecasting.
Does Rotageek publish pricing?
No. Pricing is quote-based and not published on the website; no seat tiers or starting price are listed. Buyers should expect a scoped commercial proposal covering employee volume, sites and modules, and should confirm whether forecasting, auto-scheduling and AI Insights are included or priced separately.
How does Rotageek use AI?
Rotageek uses machine learning on historical data to forecast labour demand in 15-minute increments, an AI-driven auto-scheduling engine that balances preferences, skills and labour rules, and AI Insights that answer workforce questions in natural language. The privacy policy notes a support chatbot and states humans can review or override AI processing on request.
What support is included with the platform?
The vendor states all users, from HQ to front-line teams, get ongoing support with no premium tiers, plus 24/7 online and in-app resources. Channels include live chat and email through the Support Centre, and a self-serve help centre. No formal support SLA or response time is published.
Which industries does Rotageek serve?
Rotageek actively targets retail, hospitality, entertainment and leisure, healthcare and care homes, with published customer stories across those sectors. Its forecasting and auto-scheduling features depend on variable, demand-driven shift patterns, so fixed-schedule or project-based teams are a weaker fit.
