Flexible budgeting for dynamic business needs

Hi there,

We’re happy to share with you our new addition to your labour forecasting and budget caps tools! Pre-determine your default weekly budget split and spare yourself hours of tedious data tasks.

If you have particularly busy weekends or a big mid-week spike, we appreciate your labour spending will fluctuate too. Entering your default daily percentage figures keeps you one step ahead and gives you an accurate target to work towards.

What’s new

When entering your budgeting figures, you can now control how you’d like your weekly figure to be distributed on each day of the week. This time-saving addition is great if you don’t want your budget to divide equally between each day of the week - assign a default percentage to each day and leave the rest to us.

• Weekly target hours and costs figures will be automatically split by your default daily percentages.
• Customise your daily percentage split for each of your locations.

• Manually change figures for any specific days to suit your needs.

Why we built it

At RotaCloud, aim to do the hard work for you. Our data showed that after entering a weekly budget figure, daily figures often needed to be tweaked. Default daily percentages allow you to cut down on admin and free up time better invested in your business.

How it works

Head over to your settings page now and select budgets and forecasting. Enter in your daily percentages across the top of your page for each of your locations and your weekly spend below that and we’ll do the rest!
