Why now

Labour is your largest controllable cost. Most of it is still planned from last year's roster.

Hours copied forward, award rules held in one person's head, and records that cannot stand up when a regulator asks. The cost of getting it wrong has never been higher.

$358m

recovered for underpaid workers by the Fair Work Ombudsman in 2024–25.

~$1bn

in remediation facing Australia's two largest supermarket groups after the September 2025 Federal Court ruling.

1 Jan 2025

the date intentional underpayment of wages became a criminal offence in Australia.

The product

One chain, from measured work to a compliant roster. Built for Fair Work from the first line.

LabourLoom measures what the work takes, forecasts what is coming, turns it into hours by role and time window, and rosters those hours with the cost known before you publish. Each module works on its own, so you start where it hurts most.

01 · Measure

Engineered labour standards

Map every process and measure it with Basic MOST, from a library of measured standard time blocks. Every hour traces back to the work.

02 · Forecast

Demand by driver, by site

Sales, items, cartons and orders each forecast on their own, per site and per day, so hours follow the trade, not habit.

03 · Hours

Labour hours, with the working shown

Volume × standard × occurrence gives hours by role and time window. Test a process change and see the labour cost the same day.

04 · Roster

Rosters that fit the work and the award

Auto-roster to demand, with availability and leave respected. Award rules held as versioned packs, General Retail Industry Award first.

05 · Pay From Q1 2027

Time, attendance and payroll export

Timesheets matched to the published roster, and costed lines to payroll. One set of rules from roster to pay.

06 · Report Included

Reporting on what you license

Every number comes from the same data the roster was built on, scoped to each person's permissions, with an export for your own BI.

Meet Loomy

An AI agent at every step. A person approves every change.

Tell Loomy what you need and it drafts the work: process maps, worksheets, scenarios. You review and apply each change, and every change carries a human name in the audit trail.

Loomy cannot publish a roster, approve a timesheet or move a dollar. That is enforced by the code, not by a prompt.

Ask Loomy

Your data stays in Australia

Azure Australia East, with recovery in Australia Southeast.

Never used to train AI

Microsoft Entra sign-in

Your people use the work account you already manage.

Every change on the record

Tenant isolation in the database and an audit trail that cannot be edited.

Why it matters

What LabourLoom means for your business

Hours matched to the work

Know what the work takes, to the second, and show the worksheet behind any number a site manager disputes. Over- and under-staffing become visible at the same time.

Cost known before you publish

Every roster records the rules it was costed under, so the labour line is managed before the shift, and any period can be answered years later from the system.

Managers back on the floor

Managers adjust a roster that already fits the work and the rules, instead of building one from scratch on a Sunday night.
