Temp workforce management software for businesses
Fill the shift. Not the paperwork.
Aroha Connect is the software your business uses to run its own temp and casual workforce — across education, retail and hospitality, construction and aged care. Post a shift to your pool, fill it fast, and keep certifications, timesheets and invoicing in one place.

The platform
Everything it takes to fill a shift properly
One platform to source your own casual staff, evidence compliance, capture hours and invoice — replacing the spreadsheets, group chats and paper timesheets in between.
Sourcing and scheduling
Post a shift or a role and it reaches your whole pool at once, ranked by fit. No phone trees, no group chats, no waiting on callbacks.
Compliance tracking
Certifications, ID checks and required documentation are held in one place with expiry alerts, so you find out before something lapses rather than after.
Digital timesheets
Your workers submit their hours from their phone. You review and approve in one click — no paper, no chasing.
Invoicing & payroll
Payroll-ready exports and automated invoicing generated straight from approved timesheets. No manual reconciliation.
AI that quietly removes the admin
Matching, rostering and follow-ups are the parts of managing casual staff that eat a manager's morning. Aroha Connect handles them in the background — and plugs straight into the AI assistants your team already has open, so your team can post a shift from a chat window instead of a dashboard.
See how the AI worksWorks in Claude, Copilot and ChatGPT
Native connectors for Claude, Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT — the assistants your team already has open. Ask about tonight's cover or who is unfilled tomorrow without opening the dashboard.
Create shifts by chat
Describe the job in plain language — “two relievers at the Northside centre on Thursday, 9 to 3” — and it is posted, matched and out to your pool.
Smart matching
Ranks your available workers by qualification, location and shifts they have already worked for you, so the first person you offer is the right one.
Shift updates that send themselves
When a shift is filled, changed, cancelled or still needs attention, the right people are told automatically — no chasing, no group chat.

Why Aroha Connect
Workforce software you can lean on
Running a casual workforce goes wrong in predictable ways: the wrong person, the wrong paperwork, the wrong hours. We built the platform around removing each of them.
- 01
Built By Operators
Aroha Connect was built by people who had run casual staffing on spreadsheets and phone calls themselves. Every part of it started as a problem someone actually had before it was a feature we shipped.
- 02
Compliance First
Certifications, ID and right-to-work documents live in one place with their expiry dates attached. The platform watches them so you do not have to — you find out before something lapses, not after an audit.
- 03
Speed Where It Counts
Open a shift and it reaches every available, qualified person in your pool at once — so you confirm cover in minutes instead of spending a morning on the phone.
- 04
Real Human Support
A team that knows your sector, helps you get set up properly, and answers when something needs sorting today rather than next week.

What teams using it tell us
From schools and stores to sites and care facilities — the same story in different words.
We used to start the day ringing round for relief cover. Now I post the booking once, it goes to everyone on our list at the same time, and it is confirmed before the staffroom kettle has boiled.
Marama WhitioraPrincipal, Fernvale Primary School Through Christmas trade we were filling shifts across six stores from one system. Being able to see our whole casual team in one place — who is free, who has worked which store — is what stopped it becoming a scramble.
Daniel KerrOperations Manager, Southcape Retail Group Checking tickets used to take me most of a day and I still could not prove it afterwards. Now it takes minutes, the expiry alerts land before anything lapses, and timesheets come through the app instead of on paper.
