04/16/2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NAPIER, NZ – RosterMate, a leading innovator in New Zealand workforce management technology, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking AI-driven automated rostering feature. This update, paired with advanced "smart" integrations for major New Zealand payroll providers, marks a significant leap forward in helping local businesses manage complex scheduling and compliance with ease.
Revolutionising Workforce Management with AI AutomationManual scheduling has long been a bottleneck for New Zealand business owners and HR managers. RosterMate’s new AI Automated Rostering engine solves this by using deterministic algorithms to generate optimized schedules in seconds.
By analyzing staff availability, cost constraints, and specific business requirements, the AI ensures that the right people are in the right place at the right time. This reduces the risk of human error, eliminates overstaffing, and ensures that shifts are distributed fairly and efficiently.
Smart Integration with New Zealand’s Leading Payroll SystemsAccuracy in payroll starts with precision in the roster. RosterMate now offers "smart" data synchronization with the most trusted payroll platforms in New Zealand, including:

• Xero
  
• MYOB
  
• iPayroll
  
• Crystal Payroll
  
• Smartly
  

Unlike traditional data exports, these smart integrations allow for a seamless flow of information from the completed roster directly into the payroll system. This ensures that every hour worked is accounted for, significantly reducing the administrative burden and helping businesses stay compliant with the New Zealand Holidays Act and other employment legislation.
