Data-driven development means we’ve developed CRS to make the best possible rosters for Doctors, Nurses, support staff, specialist clinical groups and many more.
Our partnership with award-winning bank staff solutions, means we’re actively supporting NHS Trusts to reduce costs on agency fees, and ensure they have the right staff, in the right place, with the right skills, crucially at the right time.

The right eRostering tools to enhance workforce management
CRS eRostering, previously known as Realtime Rostering, is the multi-professional rostering solution specifically designed to meet the challenging needs of the UK health sector. It enables organisations to plan and deliver services with the best combination of skilled people working as needed, whilst providing the opportunity to flex as patient demand changes.
Clinical events planner
It’s important for every healthcare organisation and NHS Trust to get their roster right for a range of complex and ever-evolving clinical activities. In CRS, you can easily assign staff to a range of clinical activities in advance including time on wards, in theatre or for specific job plans.
Rostering integrations
We work closely with healthcare organisations of every size to understand the complex systems and protocols needed to manage the workforce safely. Our development team are continually working to ensure our systems talk to each other, so that you can achieve total workforce visibility and effectively manage rostering along with other daily tasks.
Locum and bank rostering
One of the key challenges faced by NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations is the increasing demand, and associated workforce shortages. More so now than ever before, organisations are looking at ways to pro-actively reduce and better manage the need for agency staff. CRS is built in line with NHSI interoperability standards and can be integrated with any locum and bank system.
Custom roster views
We know that everyone in your Trust will need to have visibility of different data. In CRS, users can build their own roster view, to see the staff relevant to them. These roster views can be stored and accessed at any time, making it quick and easy to create Trust-wide reports and alerts.
Who uses our CRS?
We’ve helped hundreds of organisations use our eRostering system to its full potential – seamlessly integrating into their existing systems, while measuring effectiveness and ROI.
I love the upgrades. My experience with CRS is that it just continued to enhance and make our processes a lot easier. I like the changes and the features included in CRS and I can see that they will be very practical and speed up the process for us. This will especially help when we’re dealing with large scale logistics across multiple rotas. So, thank you for that.
