Landing Platform vs RotaCloud: UK rota joined to HR
RotaCloud is well-liked UK rota software, with leave built in and time and attendance as an add-on. Landing gives you the rota, clock-in and leave, plus HR records, contracts, reviews and the rest of the business on the same record.
Landing suits you if
- You want the rota and full HR records in one place
- You want Working Time checks as you build the rota
- You want labour cost next to budgets and sales
Where the rota stops.
RotaCloud plans shifts and leave. HR and the business sit in other tools.
Clock-in is extra
Time and attendance is an add-on module, and SMS notifications are another.
Rota, not HR
Contracts, reviews, pay history and the org chart live in another system.
Cost without context
Labour cost sits in the rota, away from the sales and budgets it should be read against.

Switching is our job, not yours.
We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.
We map your rota and HR
Locations, shift patterns, leave rules and wherever you keep HR records. We agree what "ready" means.
We move RotaCloud across
We move your data as part of the switch: staff, availability, leave allowances and shift patterns, checked before the first published rota.
You sign it off
Your managers run a live week. Billing starts only once it meets the criteria you set.
But our staff already know RotaCloud.
Fair. Here are the questions rota managers ask us most.
Can staff swap shifts and claim open ones?
Yes. Open shifts people can claim, swaps, availability, and a coverage heatmap against your targets, with notifications when the rota is published.
Is clock-in included or extra?
Included. Kiosk PIN clock-in on a shared tablet, with an optional GPS radius and selfie check, comes in every plan.
Can we keep contracts and reviews with the rota?
Yes.
Checking holiday for shift workers?
Use the free holiday entitlement calculator for irregular and part-time hours.
