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.”

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.”

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

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. ”

Business Manager

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

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