A rota app for shift teams
Ferrow (sample) plans the week, handles swaps and closes the timesheets. It runs on any phone and costs nothing for teams of up to eight.
What Ferrow does
Three jobs a shift manager does every week, each in the release it shipped in.
Build the rota
Drag people onto shifts for the week. Ferrow shows who is free, who is over their hours and which shifts are still empty.
v0.1
Shipped in
Swap a shift
Staff offer a shift from their phone, a colleague takes it and you approve with one tap. Nobody texts you at midnight.
v2.3
Shipped in
Close the timesheets
Clock-in times land next to the rota. Check the differences, approve the week and export the hours for payroll.
v2.0
Shipped in
Your first day, as a short branch
Most teams go live on the day they sign up. Four steps, then the week is published and your branch joins the main line.
1
Import your staff
Paste names and emails from a spreadsheet, or add people one by one. About ten minutes.
2
Build the first rota
Start from last week’s rota. Ferrow keeps your shift names and times.
3
Invite the team
Everyone gets a link by email or text. The app works on any phone, no store download needed.
Live
Publish the week
The rota goes live and staff see their shifts. From here, swaps and timesheets follow.
Works with what you already use
No marketplace of add-ons. A few plain connections that cover most teams.
Payroll file
Approved hours as a CSV file, in the column order most payroll apps import (Team and Business).
Calendar feed
Each person can subscribe to their shifts in the calendar app on their phone.
Single sign-on
Staff sign in with the work accounts you already manage (Business).
Open API
Read rotas and hours from your own tools. Documented, with rate limits listed (sample).
