Streamline Staffing for Trade and Labour Workforces

Managing a trade and labour workforce requires flexibility, efficiency, and the ability to respond quickly to fluctuating demands. Simplifi is a cloud based software that is built to optimise shift scheduling, manage compliance, and handle casual staff placement with ease, helping businesses deliver projects on time and within budget.

Workforce Management Software for NZ Trade & Labour

Managing aged care staff means juggling 24/7 rosters, last-minute gaps, certification tracking, and complex NZ payroll rules - all while keeping residents safe.

Generic platforms weren't built for this. They require expensive configuration, don't understand MECA agreements or the NZ Holiday Act, and often send inaccurate data to payroll.

Why Simplifi is different:

Built for NZ payroll complexity – Penal rates, overtime, allowances, and Holidays Act calculated automatically. Accurate data to your payroll provider, every time.

Build your own casual crew – No more agency fees. Broadcast shifts to your pool, workers accept via the app, done.

Compliance that blocks mistakes – System won't roster workers with expired certifications or site inductions

Real NZ support – Talk to actual humans in New Zealand, not a ticket queue that takes days

Whether you're managing one site or crews across multiple projects, Simplifi keeps your workforce organised and your payroll accurate.

Collaborating for Success, Growing Together

“The system has made timesheet & leave approval across the organisation significantly easier. Our staff have easily adopted the new technology and it’s improved the efficiency of collating data for payroll. A key success factor is having the payroll rules embedded in Simplifi. This reduces the risk of error and ensures staff are paid for their contracted entitlements.”

"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."

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
