Deputy alternative

The SiteLive alternative to Deputy

Deputy is an excellent general-purpose rostering and time-and-attendance platform used across hospitality, retail and services. If you're evaluating alternatives for workforce management & rostering, here is what SiteLive does differently — fairly stated, so you can choose with your eyes open.

Why teams look for a Deputy alternative

Most teams don't switch because their current tool is bad — they switch because the work outgrows it. The common thread we hear: records live in one system, the programme in another, the claim in a third, and nothing proves anything when a dispute lands. SiteLive was built as one operating system where the records generate themselves from the work and stand up as evidence.

What Deputy does well

  • Polished rostering and shift swaps
  • Award interpretation for payroll
  • Broad industry fit

What SiteLive does differently

  • Built for construction sites: geofenced gate sign-on, inductions, VOCs and licences gate the roster
  • Attendance links to bookings, diary manpower and the claim — the same hour is evidence everywhere
  • Site-scale: 250 workers across 11 companies on one live board
  • Voice notes, prestarts and toolbox talks in the same app the crew already opens at the gate

Try it against your current setup

The honest way to evaluate an alternative is side by side on a live job. SiteLive's 7-day free trial gives you the full platform — set up a project, run a week of sign-ons, bookings and captures, and see what the records look like at the end of it.

This page is offered in good faith from public information — Deputy is good at what it was built for, and many teams run both. For a feature-by-feature view, read SiteLive vs Deputy. If anything here is out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.
