Nextra

Nextra is an established workforce management platform designed to simplify and modernise how businesses schedule staff, track time, manage absences, and analyse workforce data. Developed by Nextrasoft Ltd, a UK-based software company founded in 2000, Nextra addresses the pain points of manual rostering, spreadsheet overload, payroll errors, and compliance risks. With an intuitive suite covering rostering, time & attendance, employee self-service, geolocation tracking, demand-driven scheduling, skills tracking, absence management, and reporting, it supports organisations in boosting operational efficiency and reducing labour costs by up to 27 %. The software is particularly strong in supporting complex scheduling needs — whether multiple sites, varied contract types, or zero-hour work patterns — with drag-and-drop shift planning, mobile clock-in/out, real-time visibility, and geofencing to enhance accuracy. Its modular structure allows businesses to adopt only the features they need, and reporting tools help leaders make informed decisions based on workforce data. While detailed pricing information and an in-app marketplace aren’t publicly highlighted, Nextra’s global client references and industry partnerships suggest it remains an active solution for HR and operations teams seeking a comprehensive workforce tool.
