“The recent integration of Gemini has made the platform even more useful, providing quick assistance for writing, summarizing, and organizing my information directly within the tools I already use every day”

Pros

“Overall, PlanDay has been a useful and reliable tool for workforce planning. Once the team is familiar with the system, it supports efficient scheduling, clear communication, and better control over staffing and payroll processes.”

Mark A.

Owner

“In our induction it takes minutes to show new members of staff the clocking in and out process and where to see their shifts, or if there are any available shifts they can pick up.”
SK

Sam K.

Project Manager

“It also allows you to see things such as your retention rate and monitor time in lieu.”

Cons

“Performance with Large or Complex Files: Sheets can slow down noticeably with large datasets, complex formulas, or heavy conditional formatting, which can impact productivity for advanced users.”

Digital Media Specialist

Cons

“PlanDay ties you in from the moment you are in discussions with them and it's a minimum 12 month contract, which they do not let you out of, even if you have told them you don't want to go ahead 6 weeks before it even begins. ”
JB

Jodie B.

Business Manager

“We cancelled 6 weeks before the contract was due to start but they charged us for 12 months anyway. ”

Business Manager

“There's no better functionality on the market but the loading times are horrible.”
