Ordio review
A location-priced scheduler with AI planning, time tracking, and payroll workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Ordio is workforce-management software for businesses with shift-based teams, including hospitality, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and services. It combines browser-based rota planning with availability collection, employee-requested shift swaps, open-shift applications, leave workflows, time tracking, reporting, and payroll-related processes. Managers plan schedules in a browser, while employees use iOS and Android apps to view shifts, submit availability, request leave, apply for open shifts, and record working time. Its location-based pricing also suits organizations managing multiple sites.
Pricing is organized by location rather than employee count. The Starter plan costs €89 per location per month with annual billing and includes shift scheduling, digital employee files, leave and absence planning, the employee app, and reporting and analytics. Plus costs €129 per location per month annually and adds compliant time tracking, a team terminal, broadcast push notifications, and smart break rules. Pro costs €169 per location per month annually and adds custom checklists and forms, payroll export, a public REST API, and partner integrations. Enterprise costs €344 per location per month annually and adds priority support, roadmap prioritization, Ordio Events, and staffing agencies. A 7-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
The strongest fit is a location-based operation that wants scheduling and workforce workflows in one system, with AI-assisted schedule creation through Ordio’s Nano agent. Integrations include Workday, Lightspeed, 3POS, DATEV, and Addison, while the public REST API and partner integrations are reserved for Pro. The platform covers web, iOS, and Android, supporting both manager workflows and employee self-service. Organizations that need a focused scheduling system with availability, open shifts, swaps, leave, time tracking, and payroll reporting should find the plan structure easy to map to operational needs. Teams requiring broader platform coverage or a free entry tier should consider alternatives.
