Good value for money. Account contact is always super helpful, and keen to get ideas on how to improve things. > > **Cons**: I don't think there are any cons - maybe an interim price level as it goes up quite a lot when you hit a certain number of people\! > > Excellent company to work with - nothing is too much trouble. They are always quick to respond to queries, with excellent product knowledge. ----- ### "Deputy Director (Admin & Marketing)" — 4.0/5 > **Jordi** | *June 16, 2026* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: A clear layout for us to read and see visually who is on what shift. The options for vols to cancel a shift three days in adv, giving us time to find someone new. A user friendly system that everyone can log on from home and use successfully (as a whole.) > > **Cons**: It would be helpful if there were notifications on Rota Central, for when new applications join (I know we receive an email) to have it on the site would help as emails can be missed. If we cancel a shift or details on it change, it would be helpful/ideal if the vols are notified, at present they are not. > > It was an easy straightforward process from onboarding and very helpful, going as far to give us a video tutorial so we knew exactly how to work the system. Also having check-ins in case there were issues a few months in. It has been really good for Jersey Arts Centre to upgrade to this system, also giving the volunteers a chance to look at home in their own time and sign up to shifts. ----- ### "A fantastic volunteer management system backed by a team that listens - a true game changer" — 5.0/5 > **Kevin** | *July 21, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've moved all of our volunteer management over to RotaCentral and it's made life much easier. Volunteers can quickly sign up for shifts, rotas are easy to put together, and we've completely done away with long email chains trying to work out who's available. One of the standout things for us has been the support. Whenever we've had questions or suggestions, the team has been quick to reply and genuinely interested in listening, which isn't something you see very often now. As a small charity, it's been a brilliant fit for us. The reminders have made a huge difference as well as we don't have to manually chase people. We've got volunteers signed up for shifts months in advance now which we never had before. > > **Cons**: I wouldn't say there were any cons, and none of the below would be a reason not to jump in and get this service\! I would say there is room for the software to develop. There are a few things we'd still love to see. It would be incredibly useful to record who attended a shift and who didn't, so we could spot recurring no-shows and get reports about that. We'd also like more control over admin permissions, so trusted volunteers could help manage things without having full access to everything. Finally, it would be great if volunteers could update their own roles and interests as they decide they'd like to get involved in different areas, rather than needing an administrator to do it for them. There are some roles we'd want to keep ring fenced due to experience and skills needed, but the roles that are open to everyone should be easily available for them to change their preferences themselves. > > We've had a really positive experience with RotaCentral. It has helped us organise our volunteers, improved communication, given volunteers a way to easily manage their diaries better and saved us a lot of time. It feels like the platform is constantly evolving, and it's reassuring to know the team genuinely listens to its users and acts on feedback where they can. We'd happily recommend it to any charity or volunteer-led organisation looking for a simple, reliable way to manage their volunteers. ----- ### "Reliable and convenient service" — 4.0/5 > **Fay** | *June 19, 2026* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Service is reliable and convenient way to schedule our volunteers. Great customer support from Ilana, who's always happy to help > > **Cons**: Sometimes I think It would be beneficial to be able to have a printable version of the week in view. ----- ### "Rota Central does what we want it to do really well\!" — 5.0/5 > **Alison** | *June 8, 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were looking for a low cost software solution for our busy volunteer led cafe and bookstall. This includes being able to rota 80 volunteers, into 7 different roles, over 5 days a week, with the flexibility to add special events onto this regular rota. We didn't want anything too complex for our volunteers to grapple with, so no app to download or username or passwords to remember was a plus. Rota Central fitted the bill in spades. Being able to use Rota Central on my phone makes my coordinator role a lot easier. Similarly shifts are now more visible to volunteers whenever they want to check them, giving them a better volunteering experience. I'm looking forward to being able to use it to present clear helpful data about the impact that volunteers have on our charity to trustees and grant bodies. > > **Cons**: The printed rota to display in the cafe from week to week isn't quite a user friendly as our previous Excel version. > > The guidance from \[sensitive content hidden\] from initial contact, through the trial period to the live launch and beyond has been excellent. She is very responsive and informative whilst listening to our specific needs and not trying to squeeze us into a standard mould. \[sensitive content hidden\] made the learning I needed to do as the Volunteer Coordinator straightforward and manageable and I was able to manage this in a shorter time than anticipated as the software is also intuitive and clear. In short, we're delighted to find a system we can implement easily, that is affordable and does what we want it to do really well\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1015115/rotacentral?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1015115/rotacentral) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
