Rosie vs Time Point

Rosie is staff scheduling and rostering software for hospitality, retail, healthcare, and services businesses, available on Android, iOS, and web. Its constraint solver considers availability, contracted hours, qualifications, rest periods, and fairness when generating rosters. Managers can adjust shifts in a drag-and-drop weekly grid and publish schedules to staff. Employees can clock in or out on a phone with GPS verification or at a shared tablet kiosk. Rosie says it enforces 22 scheduling rules and supports break, rest, young-worker, and leave requirements across six jurisdictions. The scheduler uses Google OR-Tools CP-SAT version 9.8.3296 rather than a language model. The free plan covers up to 15 people at one site. Pro costs $3.50 per month and covers up to 75 people at five sites; Business costs $5 per month and covers up to 150 people with unlimited sites. Business plans can send approved hours to Xero, while timesheets and reports can be exported as CSV. Rosie passes hours and rates to payroll but does not calculate tax or pay employees.

Time Point is cloud-based workforce management and HR software for businesses from SMEs to large multi-site organisations. Its Essentials package includes time and attendance, rostering, scheduling, labour cost analysis, holiday and absence management, payroll setup and links, reports, dashboards, training, a tablet clocking app, and a staff app. Employees can clock in through smart tablets, biometric facial or finger readers, cards or fobs, mobile phones, or desktops.

HR capabilities across packages include onboarding, document management, digital signatures, an HR e-Diary, staff messaging, expenses, performance alerts, and an employee app. Premium adds document generation, GDPR management, training matrices, department and job tracking, lieu time banking, and multi-company payrolls. Time Point names Sage, Quantum, Collsoft, and BrightPay as payroll partners and says approved hours can be sent to payroll. Pricing is on request.
