Smart Rostering Agent

1. Overview

The Smart Rostering Agent is an intelligent scheduling application built using Domo AI Agent technology. It is designed to automate the creation of weekly employee rosters by analyzing various critical factors such as employee performance, holidays, and leave schedules. The application not only generates optimized rosters but also provides detailed reasoning for each employee's allocation, ensuring transparency and accountability in scheduling decisions.

The system also includes features for managing employee information, leave requests, and performance tracking, making it a comprehensive workforce management solution.

2. Problem Addressed

Manual roster planning is often time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient, especially when dealing with multiple constraints like employee availability, performance variations, and public holidays. Traditional methods may fail to fairly distribute workloads or accommodate employee needs, leading to burnout, conflicts, and reduced productivity.

The Smart Rostering Agent addresses these challenges by:

• Automating the roster generation process
• Ensuring fair distribution of work
• Incorporating employee leave and holiday data
• Considering historical performance for better task allocation
