Workforce scheduling that works
Conflict-free rotas in minutes. Built for regulated UK and Isle of Man workforces.
Dynamic Schedules is driven by our proprietary in-house Cadence Engine algorithm - an engine designed to meter out shifts with clockwork precision, ensuring your team always works at a sustainable pace.
The old way
- Rota in a spreadsheet, timesheets on paper
- Payroll run held together by hand
- Sickness calls and holiday cover chaos
- WhatsApp groups for shift notifications
- No visibility of rest rule violations
- Manual double-entry across systems
The Dynamic Schedules way
- Rotas built automatically in under 10 seconds
- Shifts sync to personal calendars, no app needed
- Only affected staff receive notifications
- 11-hour rest and 48-hour opt-out options
- See every change before publishing
- Employee information stays up to date automatically
Standout superpowers
What sets Dynamic Schedules apart from every other rota tool.
These are not generic scheduling features. They are the safeguards and advantages that regulated businesses across the Isle of Man, UK and Republic of Ireland rely on.
Rotas built instantly, every time
Our proprietary in-house Cadence Engine algorithm checks 12 rules at once, including rest breaks, contracted hours, and qualifications, to build a rota in under 10 seconds. No guesswork, just a rota that works.
Shifts appear on personal calendars automatically
Shifts land straight on your employees iPhone, Android, or Outlook personal calendars. No new apps to install, no passwords to remember, and rotas update automatically when changed. Works with the calendar they already use.
Review changes before anyone sees them
Never panic over rota changes again. See exactly what changed side-by-side before publishing, notify only the employees whose shifts actually moved, and undo any mistake with a single click.
The right qualified person on every shift
If a shift legally requires a trained supervisor or responsible person, the engine flags it and won't let you publish without one. Protect your business from legal penalties and compliance shutdowns.
Your branding on every notification
Schedule emails and notifications go out with your company logo and name, not ours. Your employees see a seamless internal platform, not a third-party vendor.
Export to Excel
Download published rotas as Excel or CSV files straight from the schedule page for record-keeping and auditing. No manual re-entry, no formatting errors.
Documented benchmark results
Proven against real-world staffing models.
Dynamic Schedules has been benchmarked on documented synthetic staffing models across healthcare settings. Select a scenario to see the results.
Slots by ward
Required versus filled across all 3 wards
28-day coverage
Every day of the benchmark achieved full slot coverage
Benchmark results are generated from deterministic, independently validated staffing scenarios. Coverage means required shift positions assigned while enforcing configured working-hours, rest, availability, qualification, and leave constraints. Results vary with workforce capacity and scenario configuration.

One place for all your employee information
Dynamic EMS® holds your employee information. Dynamic Schedules builds and shares the rota.
Employee details, contracts, availability, approved leave, and qualifications are maintained in Dynamic EMS® and brought into your rota automatically. Update information once and it stays up to date everywhere.

Dynamic Schedules
Builds and publishes rotas
Employee details
Contact details, employment status, and qualifications all live in Dynamic EMS®, so there's one place to update them.
Contract terms
Contracted hours, weekly limits, and opt-out status sync automatically, so the rota always respects them.
Who's available when
Each employee's recurring availability and preferred working hours are checked before any shift is assigned.
Approved leave
Holiday, sickness, and compassionate leave automatically block out the relevant dates, so no one gets scheduled when they're off.
Qualifications
Staff qualifications and supervisor status are kept in Dynamic EMS®, so the right people are always on the right shifts.
Zero-app personal calendar sync
No new apps. No passwords. No push notifications to ignore.
The single biggest hurdle with workforce software is employee app resistance. Dynamic Schedules eliminates it. Shifts land straight on your employees' iPhone, Android, or Outlook personal calendars. No new apps to install, no passwords to remember, and rotas update automatically when changed.
Works with the calendar they already have
Standard calendar format compatible with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook.
Secure private links for each employee
Each person gets their own private link. You can revoke or regenerate it instantly.
Automatic updates on every publish
When a rota changes, every subscriber\'s calendar updates automatically. No manual refresh needed.

Multi-location
One module for multiple locations.
Define physical business locations, branches, and operational opening hours. Each location keeps its own employees and shifts. Filter to a single site or view the whole operation from the same interface, without separate spreadsheets.
Location-based filtering
Focus on one site or view every location together. Cross-location conflicts are flagged during generation.
Departments
Departments can span multiple locations or sit within a single site, so you can drill down to the workforce subset you need.
Opening hours
Configure operational opening hours per location so the scheduler respects when each site is actually running.
Bank holidays
No more accidental scheduling on bank holidays.
Add your bank holidays once and the software spots them when building a rota. It avoids assigning people by mistake and clearly flags any shifts that overlap.
- Automatic bank holiday detection in the target period
- Skips auto-assignment to prevent accidental scheduling
- Clear overlap notices for any conflicting shifts
Operational settings and rules
Set the rules that matter to your business.
Supervisors and admins control the scheduling rules, from rest breaks to fairness settings, so the rotas reflect how your business actually runs.
Enterprise governance and compliance
Runs on the same security baseline as Dynamic EMS®.
Your schedule data is kept separate and secure. Every change is logged with who made it and when, so you can always trace what happened.
ISO 27001 certified security
Your data stays separate and encrypted, with controlled access.
A clear record of every change
Every change is recorded with who made it and when.
Saved versions and one-click undo
Go back to any previous rota with a single click.
Guided setup with a built-in help guide on every page.

Train your team
We train your managers on scheduling, attendance and payroll prep, and show your team how to use the employee self-service app. Training is hands-on, using your data, not a generic demo environment.
Ongoing support
