Today, Deputy, the world’s leading workforce management platform for shift work, announces the global launch of Analytics+, a next-generation business intelligence and reporting solution. This rollout will give businesses of all sizes enterprise-grade technology to power smarter decisions, improve efficiency, and drive profitability.

Designed specifically for shift-based businesses, Analytics+ offers advanced reporting capabilities with interactive dashboards, dynamic filters, drill-downs, and custom-built reports – all with an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface. Analytics+ empowers business owners and managers to turn workforce data into clear, actionable insights without needing a background in data science.

“Shift-based businesses have been underserved by traditional analytics tools that were never designed with them in mind,” said Deepesh Banerji, Chief Product Officer at Deputy. “We built Analytics+ specifically for this sector, where every hour counts, schedules change fast, and compliance matters. Labor costs are the biggest expense line for this sector, it's critical that customers have insights and visibility into their biggest investment area. With Analytics+, we’re giving these businesses the power to make smart, data-driven decisions without the overhead, delays, or costs that come with other enterprise reporting solutions.”

In a world where labor costs are rising and scheduling complexity is increasing, real-time, self-serve analytics are no longer a luxury – they’re a necessity. Analytics+ addresses this by transforming how shift-based businesses manage and interact with their data, giving them the ability to:

  • Track key workforce metrics like shift performance, attendance, absenteeism, and labor optimisation trends.
  • Create and share custom reports using a drag-and-drop builder tailored to each business's unique needs.
  • Save time with automation, enabling scheduled report delivery – even to team members who don’t use Deputy.
  • Gain visibility across compliance, performance, and profitability using pre-built reports and auditing tools.

Whether it’s a local restaurant or a global franchise, Analytics+ is designed to scale with the needs of any business. It equips teams with the clarity to make decisions that boost efficiency, engagement, and the bottom line.

“Our customers want clarity, not complexity,” said Silvija Martincevic, CEO at Deputy. “We built Analytics+ specifically for shift-based businesses to help them operate more profitably, make smarter decisions in real time, and turn labor efficiency into a competitive advantage. This is about empowering every manager with the visibility and right information – at the right time – to move from reactive management to proactive, insight-driven leadership.”

Analytics+ is available globally as an optional paid add-on for all Deputy customers. The core Deputy Analytics experience — with a rich library of pre-built reports, visualisations, and drill-downs — is free for all users.
