Agency software, shrunk to fit one person.
ShiftCare, Brevity and the rest are built for agencies — rostering a team, managing staff, agency pricing. As a sole trader you end up paying for a control room when you just need a tidy back-office. Solodesk is sized for one.
Why agency tools don’t fit
Agency platforms are good at what they’re for: rostering multiple staff, managing HR, coordinating a team across many participants. But that power comes with team-shaped pricing and onboarding — and most of the surface area is for problems a sole trader doesn’t have.
When you’re the only worker, “manage your team’s shifts” is just noise. You need a service agreement, a fast way to log your own shifts and notes, and invoices a plan manager will pay without bouncing. Nothing more.
Solodesk does exactly that and stops. No five-user minimum, no per-seat maths, no implementation call — you can be sending invoices the same afternoon.
