Online duty scheduling automated, smart and simple

In everyday use, many people treat duty rota and shift plan as the same thing: who works when. With Ordio shift planning you create those plans digitally, publish them to your team and consolidate availability and absences in one place. Typical for hospitality, retail, care or production with rotating shifts. You replace loose spreadsheets with a single source of truth.

You set up people, roles and shifts and plan in the calendar with drag-and-drop. You see leave and sick days early because absences are connected. For structure and examples, use the guide build a shift plan (German). Ordio flags many common working-time conflicts — final assessment stays with you on site.

Everyone works from the same live data: changes are visible immediately, with fewer back-and-forth messages. Templates and recurring patterns save time; you avoid double data entry next to time tracking. Paper and one-off spreadsheets do not scale well across sites or shift models — Ordio brings planning and team information together in one place.

Yes. You plan in the browser; staff see shifts in the Ordio employee app. After publishing or when things change, the team is notified — no more PDF rounds. Ideal for online duty rota and sites where it must be clear who is on shift.

Ordio offers recurring shifts, templates and clear workflows so less has to be matched by hand. Nano AI helps with questions and tasks around your Ordio data. Legal assessment of outcomes and pay rules remains your responsibility; the system warns you about many conflicts in a visible way.

Yes. Time tracking provides actual hours to compare with the planned rota; absences block slots consistently and reduce double-booking. For payroll, Ordio Payroll links the chain from planning to payout — fewer exports and handover errors between HR and payroll.

Yes. You create sites and work areas, plan per site or across them and keep rules per team. That supports branches and roles like kitchen, service or sales. A central view replaces scattered tables and informal group chats — everyone sees what matters for their rota.

When you plan, Ordio checks typical requirements from working-time law and your company rules and warns about risky combinations. The specific assessment depends on collective agreements and local practice — Ordio is not legal advice. For more on law and planning, see the German guide duty rota law.

Employees enter availability; you keep approval and see conflicts early. Shift bids and swap requests run digitally and only take effect after you confirm — with traceability for the team. That keeps things fair without endless messenger threads or phone lists.

You see planned hours per person and can align them with contract data and payroll. Ordio helps you spot threshold breaches early — without replacing tax or social-security advice. In edge cases you clarify details with payroll, tax or HR before locking in long-term patterns.

Ordio is built for operational use with personal data; details are in our privacy notices and agreement. As usual, you define who may see which planning data. Hosting and processing follow the agreed terms — so shift planning stays accountable under privacy requirements too.

In a personal demo you see shift planning, time tracking and roles live for your scenario. Our support helps with setup, permissions per role and a sensible rollout. That lets you decide whether the workflow fits your shift models — without generic one-click promises.
