- Qualification tracking prevents non-compliant shift assignments from being published
- Leave management integrates with your Award entitlements and payroll rules engine
- Payroll integration with Xero, MYOB and KeyPay means approved hours flow directly through - no manual re-entry
- Role-based access controls keep sensitive data secure while giving managers what they need
Particularly suited to: Healthcare (Nurses Award), aged care (SCHADS Award), early childhood education, retail and hospitality - industries where shift compliance and accurate pay are non-negotiable.

Angela Kneeshaw,
Chief Financial Officer, BeGroup
"They were friendly, easy to work with, and willing to adapt and grow with us. They understood Kiwi business and focused on the end user, not just the head office. Since using Simplifi, we’ve reduced overtime, improved rostering efficiency, and in some stores we now fill shifts in minutes instead of hours."
Tristram Verrell,
Productivity, Efficiency & Workforce Manager, Foodstuffs North Island
“The training and support from the team at Simplifi has been a big plus. It takes time to learn a new system, and aged care is ‘messy’ from a staffing point of view, so getting Simplifi tuned to our ways took a bit of time but we had ample support. The ‘Hey Jamie’ phone calls and emails always got fast results.”
Mark Buckley,
General Manager at Lonsdale Total Care Centre
