Frequently asked questions

What should 24/7 roster software handle?

Look for continuous coverage, availability, qualifications, weekly-hour limits, rest between duties, multiple locations and a clear way to see any position the system could not cover.

What happens if there are not enough eligible people?

Rosterzen keeps the affected positions open so the shortage stays visible. Managers can then change coverage, use relief staff or adjust another assignment instead of receiving a roster that silently breaks a rule.

Can enterprise teams keep Rosterzen data in the EU or self-host?

Yes. For enterprise deals, Rosterzen can support EU data residency or a self-hosted deployment for organisations with stricter data-governance, security or procurement requirements.
