If your team works the same cycle every few weeks, building the rota by hand is wasted time. Orbis Shift saves multi-week rotation patterns and applies them for you.
The problem
Why this is hard without the right tool
Repeating patterns are simple on paper but easy to get wrong by hand: someone ends up on their third weekend in a row, or the cycle drifts after a bank holiday. Copying last month's spreadsheet copies its mistakes too.
How Orbis Shift helps
Step by step
- 1
Build the cycle once
Create a rotation template of one to several weeks with the start and finish times for each day.
- 2
Apply it to the right people
Assign the pattern to staff or teams, anchored to the week it should start.
- 3
Adjust individual weeks
Change a single shift for holidays or events without breaking the underlying pattern.
- 4
Copy weeks that work
Copy a previous week forward when the pattern is less regular. Times stay correct across the clock changes.
