Features
The features of vet rota software Everything it takes to hold up.
Six pillars, born from how practices really work. Click to jump straight there:
01The engine
Build the month in one click.
The same kind of engine that schedules airline crews, not a box filler. The whole month, days, nights, on-call and out-of-hours, solved in a few seconds.
- The hard rules you set (days off, limits, rest after on-call, closures): the engine never breaks them
- A transparent diagnosis, decisions explained criterion by criterion
- Rerun in one click when something changes
CP-SAT engine · OR-Tools, every choice explained, day by day.
02Fairness
Prove it’s fair, in black and white.
A real index, computed from each person’s load against their target and recalculated with every manual change. The fairness ledger keeps the previous months.
- Days against target, Saturdays, Sundays, on-call, nights (per person)
- A history you can show at the team meeting
- Recalculated live with every manual tweak
03On-call and out-of-hours
Fair on-call, at last.
A rotation with memory: each person’s on-call balance is counted over a rolling twelve months, so it doesn’t always land on the same people. Avoiding two on-call weekends in a row is a goal for the engine, not a guarantee.
- Duties on closed days, on-call, nights
- Swaps between colleagues, approved in one click: fairness updates
- A lock freezes a day, on-call included

04Days ⇄ shifts
Your organisation, your rules.
Full days or time slots: each practice (and each team) picks its rhythm. Djed spreads people across the shifts.
- Hours and capacity per shift, per weekday
- A one-off shift for a single day
- Switching mode never touches published rotas

05Day to day
You stay in control.
Day inspector, drag and drop, pin, lock, and a copilot that shows you where to look before something gets stuck.
- Your decisions stay put, the engine builds around them
- “Why this choice?” explained in every cell
- A whole day in one panel: team, on-call, shifts, lock

06Organisation
Run the whole group from one screen.
One company, several practices, two teams. Clear roles (company admin, practice admin, members) and locked publishing.
- An “all practices” view to run the group
- Vets and vet nurses, two separate teams
- Rules are frozen at the moment of publishing

07The iPhone app
The rota in every team member’s pocket.
Everyone sees their own days and on-call, asks for a swap or for leave. A notification when the month is published, another when a colleague offers a swap. The app is in French for now.
- My week, my on-call, my rest days: at a glance
- On-call swaps offered and accepted from the phone
- Notifications when the month is published and for every swap
The real before and after
Your Sunday evening isn’t the same any more.
Same practice, same team, same constraints. A spreadsheet on one side, Djed on the other.
The Sunday evening spreadsheet
- Two hours in the evening, after consults
- One wrong formula and the whole month is off
- Always the same people on call at weekends
- “That’s not fair”, and nobody can prove otherwise
With Djed
- The whole month built in 7.7 seconds
- Hard rules and closures: the engine respects them
- On-call spread with 12 months of memory
- A fairness index in figures, to show at the meeting
