Cru Software has been at the forefront of transforming workforce management with its advanced digital solutions, CRU Rostering and CRU Scheduling. This transformation is primarily focused on evolving traditional Excel-based workflows and legacy systems into streamlined, modern operational processes that leverage the full potential of our technology, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency.

CRU Rostering is an intelligent, automated rostering software designed to manage workforces from anywhere, enabling rapid creation of rosters in just minutes. This platform allows for managing an entire workforce roster from a single interface, regardless of geographical location, making it ideal for businesses with complex needs seeking growth and simplification. The solution's integration flexibility is pivotal, providing seamless connectivity with existing IT infrastructures. Our well-documented external API supports efficient data exchange, ensuring that systems can both supply and retrieve data without increasing dependency on external services. 

Enhanced by the Fatigue and Compliance Engine, CRU Rostering lets you establish tailored rules and requirements for different customers and sites with ease. This feature ensures your resources are always prepared, validating adherence to specific position and site requirements. By mitigating worker fatigue and enhancing compliance, we help ensure your workforce is ready to meet the demands of any site.  

Additionally, CRU Rostering supports project-based work, such as engineering services at mines or well sites, which typically requires specific skills for a defined period. This is crucial for contracting companies engaging workers as needed for the duration of a project. Our platform ensures that project rosters do not impact your permanent baseline roster or other project rosters, making it easy to identify gaps and fill shifts across your operations. With features like the Manning Book and an in-app messaging system, CRU Rostering boosts communication, ensuring all team members are aligned and informed, enhancing the overall management and efficiency of your workforce. 

Complementing our CRU Rostering web application is the Worker Mobile App, designed to empower your workforce with real-time access to their schedules, shift changes, and important updates. This mobile app allows workers to easily view their rosters, request time off, and communicate with their team, ensuring seamless coordination and engagement. The app's management permissions enable administrators to control features such as time-off requests, providing flexibility to toggle permissions on or off as needed. By providing this level of accessibility and convenience, the Worker Mobile App enhances overall workforce satisfaction and productivity, making it an indispensable tool for modern workforce management.

CRU Scheduling is tailor-made for managing large and intricate teams, capable of scheduling and visualising thousands of operations and maintenance activities across various sites. The platform offers three levels of scheduling manual, semi-automated, and fully optimised automatic scheduling—giving users complete control over how schedules are constructed. Building on this foundation, CRU Scheduling also enables clearer insights into workforce demands and optimises resource allocation with our enhanced tools. These improvements ensure the right people are positioned precisely where they need to be, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness across operations. 

One of the core strengths of Cru Software is our deep understanding of the intricacies within the resources sector, a domain where we have successfully deployed numerous small to enterprise-level solutions. Our collaborations with industry leaders such as Santos, Origin Energy, Harmony Gold and Minprovise highlight our capability to deliver solutions that leverage best practice workflows to meet diverse operational needs.  Our platform’s configurability allows us to tailor our offerings to meet specific client requirements, drawing on best practice techniques and workflows. This adaptability ensures that each implementation is optimised for maximum efficiency and effectiveness, regardless of the operational challenges presented.
