Pros

“Not only can we communicate with staff and update scheduling, there are forms for staff retention as well as a reward system that we can use to keep our staff motivated.”
CK

Christina K.

Manager

“The platform provides a wide range of useful tools for managing employees, communication, scheduling, time tracking, and daily tasks in one place.”

Bob F.

CEO

“I also appreciated the customization options, which made it possible to tailor workflows and features to suit different business needs. Although some advanced features require higher-tier plans and setup can take time initially, the software overall improved organization, accountability, and day-to-day efficiency within the team.”

Cons

“We discovered during payroll processing that regular, overtime, and vacation hours were not transferring correctly, resulting in all hours being imported as regular hours.”
AS

Anthony S.

CIO

“The current layout tends to focus on upcoming items, making it less intuitive when trying to review past events or quickly view an entire month's schedule at a glance.”
AM

Amy M.

Owner

“It can be difficult to give setting to different users and admins, having multiple places to assign different things is confusing would like it if all setting being assigned to users and admins were in one place.”
