Unlimited sites and locations

Fourteen client sites. One roster you can actually see.

Every contract adds another site, and every site adds another spreadsheet. In RosterShare each client site is a location, Pro has no limit on how many you run, and the whole operation sits in one roster you can filter down to a single site in a click.

  • Unlimited locations on Pro, one per client site
  • Filter the roster to one site to check coverage at a glance
  • Positions for gatehouse, patrol, control room, and concierge
  • Print or share a per-site roster when a client asks for it
  • See a guard's whole week across every site before adding more

All guards notified. Everyone opens the latest published roster.

Publish once, notify everyone

A roster on the office wall is no use at a site across town.

A workforce that is never in the same room needs the roster to come to them. Publish once and every guard gets it where they are: in their own account, by SMS on the way to site, or by email at the end of a night shift.

Guard accounts always show the latest published version

Open shift claimed

Saturday gatehouse 18:00 posted at 15:40, claimed by Marcus at 15:52.

Open shifts and cover

An unfilled post isn't a rostering problem. It's a client problem.

When a guard drops a shift, the contract does not care why. Post the shift as an open shift and every available guard sees it at once, instead of you working down a call list while the clock runs toward handover.

Post dropped shifts as open shifts every guard can claim
Keep manager approval on claims when the post needs the right licence class
Guards request cover in the open instead of arranging side swaps
The roster updates for everyone the moment the post is filled

Built for 24/7 coverage

Days, nights, and a rotation that never quite repeats.

Twelve-hour posts, 22:00 patrol runs, and event weekends that land on top of the regular rotation. Build the pattern once, save it as a template, and adjust the exceptions instead of rebuilding every week from a blank grid.

Overnight shifts like 18:00 to 6:00 sit naturally in the week
Save rotations as templates and apply them to future weeks
Copy last week and change only what the contracts changed

Auto Roster

Brief the roster like a shift handover.

"Two on the arena for Saturday night, Marcus on the gatehouse Monday, nobody rostered past their availability." Describe the coverage in plain language and Auto Roster drafts the week around availability, time off, and positions. You review every shift before it is applied.

Time clock and timesheets

Bill clients from hours you can stand behind.

Guards clock in and out from their own phone, and every punch becomes a timesheet entry matched against the rostered shift and site. Approve the week, see labor costs against hourly rates, and export a CSV your payroll and client invoicing can both start from.

Security rostering FAQ

Common questions from security operations managers.

Can I roster guards across multiple client sites?

Yes. Each client site is a location in RosterShare, and Pro has no limit on locations or team size. Filter the roster to a single site to check coverage, or print and share a per-site roster when a client asks for one.

How do guards get their roster?

Guards see the latest published roster in their own account on any phone, with nothing to install. You can notify them by email or SMS when the roster is published or changed, and share a read-only link with anyone who needs it.

What happens when a guard drops a shift?

Post it as an open shift and let available guards claim it, with manager approval if you want the final say. Guards who cannot make a shift can request cover themselves, so the swap is visible instead of happening in side texts.

Does RosterShare verify where guards clock in from?

No. Guards clock in and out from their own account, or from a shared tablet kiosk with a personal PIN, and each punch becomes a timesheet entry for manager approval. There is no GPS or photo verification, so if your client contracts require location-verified clock-ins, a larger workforce platform will fit better.

Does RosterShare track security licences?

No. RosterShare does not track licence numbers or expiry dates, so keep those in your HR records. It focuses on rostering, notifying guards, filling dropped shifts, and collecting hours for payroll.

What does it cost?

Everything is free for 14 days with no credit card. After the trial, Pro is from $2.99 USD per staff member per month on annual billing ($3.99 AUD), with unlimited staff and locations. You can keep building and printing rosters for up to 5 staff and one location on the free plan.

Every post covered. Every guard in the loop.

Add your guards, set up your sites, and publish. Days, nights, and event crews all get the latest roster without a single ring-around.
