Why it's time to bring your rostering home
When you onboarded Birdie, you kept your rostering somewhere else. Since then, we've been busy.
We've rebuilt Birdie's rostering from the ground up, with hundreds of partners, into a roster we're proud to put at the heart of the Birdie platform. It has now delivered over 1.5 million visits for more than 7,500 care recipients.
The roster saw before isn't the roster we have today. And the care record it connects to is already yours.
What's changed, and why it's worth bringing home
Build the rota once, not once a week
Multi-week client templates turn rostering from a weekly job into one that's built once and repeats. Create templates from one to eight weeks that populate carers' apps automatically, and edit a single week without breaking the pattern. This is the repeatable scheduling you kept a separate engine for, now native to your care record.
See your whole week at a glance
The most-requested feature is here. The weekly view shows your entire roster across seven days on one screen, so coverage gaps and workload are easy to spot. Filter by group, transport, gender and availability to find the right carer fast.
Effortless schedule changes
Adjustments are far more intuitive, especially one-off changes. Move a visit time or handle an exception without the old cumbersome steps, and the change flows straight to the carer and the care log.
Advanced conflict detection
Upgraded Rostering flags scheduling conflicts before they happen: availability clashes, and visits moved outside the session their activities belong to. Because the roster shares your care record, it catches planning errors your separate system can't see.
Runs and shift pay
We've now introduced the ability to schedule your carers in runs and pay in shifts, so you can adapt to different models of service.
Powerful new analytics
Real-time insight into roster performance and efficiency, reading from the same numbers as care and finance, so you make decisions on one source of truth rather than a spreadsheet stitched across two systems.
How bringing your rostering home works
We'll move your rostering onto Birdie carefully and safely, with no disruption to the care you deliver. Here's how it works:
We map your current roster and templates
so you're confident in the data being carried across from your existing system.
You and your team train on Upgraded Rostering
it's designed to be intuitive, but we want you completely confident before the switch
Birdie handles the technical migration
we do the heavy lifting for you
You do a short review of your data and visits
then you're good to go
It takes a little time and input from your team, but we're confident that it'll be worth it!
Hear from care agencies who've made the switch
Don't just take our word for it, hear from care providers who have switched to our Upgraded Rostering.
"The biggest impact for us at the moment is the scheduling. Having fixed templates that we can send to the carers' phones has made a massive difference. It's probably saved us four or five hours a week on just scheduling."
"A lot of the functions to change visit times are a lot easier. We've been able to just move things into the date rather than going in and changing dates and then having to refresh it or move it all again."
“Our rota is done. We're more prepared for the next few weeks than we could have been for the next two days on our previous system, and that's the point, that's the difference it's making to our working day.”

Frequently asked questions
Is it really different from the roster I looked at before?
Yes. We rebuilt it from the ground up with hundreds of partners. It now runs multi-week templating on your care record, has delivered over 1.5 million visits, and 100+ partners are live on it.
Will there be training for my team?
Absolutely. We'll provide comprehensive training through live webinars and an online training course to accommodate different learning styles. Our support team will be available to help you navigate the migration process and answer any questions along the way.
What happens to my current schedules and data?
Everything transfers seamlessly. Your existing schedules, templates, and historical data will be preserved.
How much does it cost?
Adding rostering to your Birdie plan is a commercial conversation, and your account manager will walk you through it. Most partners find one connected system costs less than paying for two once you account for the time spent reconciling them.
