Faster forecasting, weekly budgets and more!

Hi there,

We’ve been hard at work making even more improvements to our labour forecasting tools, giving you and your managers more freedom and a smoother experience.

On our mission to enhance our forecasting tools and speed up your planning, we’re excited to introduce our new Financials tab - your handy new hub for your reports, budgets and forecasting. Here, you’ll find neat and tidy budgeting tools and simplified imports and exports letting you add years of data in just a few minutes. You’ll also notice more flexibility when adding your labour data with the addition of weekly budgeting and extended access to your ‘actual revenue’ figures allowing managers to add and edit your data.

What’s new

Adding to our recent labour forecasting upgrades, we’ve added even more to your account to improve everyday efficiency this includes:

• In the top-right corner of your Budgets page, you’ll find Import and Export buttons for importing your actual revenue for better tracking

• Managers who can view wage and salary information can now input and amend your actual revenue data on your rota.

Why we built it

Alongside our recent upgrade to your forecasted and actual revenue sections on the Rotas page, these newest improvements are part of our overall goal to make planning your labour spending as quick and seamless as possible. Streamlined bulk importing of data and the ability to delegate more responsibility to managers make staying on top of your admin a breeze.

How it works

You'll now be able to import your budgets and actual revenue in one go. Years of budget history sitting in spreadsheets? Upload it all in seconds. No more manual data entry or clicking through day-by-day. Just instantly compare past revenue to your rota’s hours and costs after one bulk-upload, or download exactly what you see from RotaCloud itself

Finally, any managers who have the permission ‘View and edit employee salary information’ will instantly be able to add and amend actual revenue figures on the Rotas page for the Locations they manage.

A few quick notes

• Labour forecasting is part of our Pro package. If you don’t already use Pro, you can sign up for a commitment-free 30 day trial by clicking anywhere you see the ‘Pro’ icon.
• If you don’t have our Pro package or a Pro trial enabled, your reports page tab will remain the same (as opposed to being named ‘Financials’).
• Your new labour features will be rolled out over the next few days and will be available to all customers soon.
