No card required. Choose a starting profile and Hourli will help you get operational quickly.
Meadowbrook Care Centre — a fictional demonstration site.
Up and running in three straightforward steps
Step 1
Register and choose a profile
Pick the industry profile closest to your organisation and we'll suggest sensible rotas, roles and shifts.
Step 2
Shape it around your site
Rename, reorder, add or remove anything. Your rotas, roles and work areas — not ours.
Step 3
Publish and stay in control
Publish the rota, let staff view shifts, request cover and clock in. Everything stays visible.
One site, as many rotas as you need
Run Care, Kitchen and Administration side by side. Or Clinical and Reception. Or Production, Warehouse and Maintenance. Rotas, roles, shifts and work areas are fully configurable — never restricted by the profile you started with.
- Separate rotas for separate teams, all in one view
- Custom roles, shift patterns and work areas
- Reorder or rename anything, at any time
Know whether today is ready
Readiness and live cover show you, shift by shift, whether the day ahead is properly staffed. Gaps surface early — while there's still time to fill them.
Build around dependency and skill needs
Set daily coverage and skilled-hour targets, then let Hourli draft the rota for you. Every suggestion stays editable, so the final say is always yours.
Your team, on the phone in their pocket
Staff see today's shift, the week ahead and their own record — so the published rota is the only version anyone needs to check.
Choose a starting point that feels familiar
Every profile comes with suggested rotas, roles and shifts. They're recommendations, not rules — you stay in control.

Care-specific tools and optional DepenSys integration
For care homes, supported living and domiciliary services, Hourli adds staffing tools designed around safe cover — and can connect to DepenSys so planned hours reflect resident dependency.

Teams who've made the switch
“We had our Care, Kitchen and Admin rotas running within a day. Nothing felt forced on us, and the staff import was a breeze with the template. Switching staff on shifts is a simple drag and drop too, saving time and stress.”
48-bed care home, Yorkshire
“We used to manage our rotas with a spreadsheet, but switching to Hourli made things so much easier. The Staff Portal means everyone can see exactly when they’re needed — no more late night emails and texts!”
36-bed care home, Dorset
“Shift swaps and cover requests used to live in WhatsApp. Now I get an email notification and can approve them properly on the system without any fuss.”
