Rota planning
is hard
Managers have to balance people, skills, time off, fairness, cost, and compliance all at once. One small change in the rota can ripple through everything else.
Coverage is crucial
Every shift needs the right number of people, with the right skills, at the right time.
Fairness matters
Hours, opportunity and unpopular shifts must be shared in a way teams trust.
Intelligent rota planning, without the complexity
Most rota software helps you organise shifts. Shifts by Electric Gap helps you decide who should work them.
Using optimisation technology normally reserved for large enterprises, Shifts by Electric Gap automatically builds schedules that balance availability, skills, fairness and business requirements — in seconds.
Generates rotas automatically
Create a complete rota in minutes instead of building schedules shift by shift.

Availability, skills, qualifications and business rules are considered automatically.
Balances competing priorities
Fairness, coverage and labour costs are all factored into the schedule.
Set up is simple
Set up your team once, then generate rotas quickly whenever things change.

We are currently working with a small number of teams to test and improve the tool. During this phase, the software is free to use. Getting started is simple. Create an account, add your business information, and generate your first rota.
Who we are
Electric Gap is a two-person team. We met five years ago and quickly realised we wanted to build something together, combining deep technical problem-solving with a strong understanding of how organisations actually work. Our shared focus is on tackling real-world problems carefully, one at a time, starting with rota planning.
