Sling for Managing Teams

It's a cost effective scheduling dashboard, that I can personally recommend despite the occasional bug. It will help you organize staff and operations with a quickness - transitioning to this system was very easy.

Agency Scheduling

As a scheduling software great. no need for the extra features. 

Excellent with limitations...

Easy set up, many options for preferences. Employees found it super easy to use, minimal training involved. I like that you can schedule shifts, then assign employees to them. Customer service is very helpful and quick to respond. 

Sling is a must have!

Works great as a scheduling system, easy mobile app for employees, shift switches and covering works well. 

Restaraunt Scheduling

I think the best way to describe our experience with Sling is by relaying the following series of events. We were aware that we were losing money due to inefficient scheduling, so much so that our board of directors authorized us to spend $500 for a consultant to come provide us with a better way to operate. While the consultant had some decent ideas, they were not actionable. We decided to try out Sling. Now that we have started using it and upgraded to the premium version, we are spending less annually to have all our scheduling handled by Sling than we paid a consultant for a day's worth of work. The cost of implementing Sling was far, far outweighed by the savings that it brought us. 

Sling Low, Sweet Chariot

Sling has been absolutely, hands down the best software we have ever adopted. I never feel frustrated with it and it helps save me time and irritations. My employees love it too! Best decision ever!

Using Sling changed my  life

It's been a real game changer for my small operation. Couldn't be happier!

Outstanding scheduling app!

quality product that does what it says it will for a reasonable cost. 

We love Sling!

Nothing bad to say about this software. Meets the needs of our company very well. It keeps staff organized and informed in a quick efficient manner.

Great employee scheduling system!

It solved the problem of errors in scheduling, errors in timesheet/ payroll reporting, etc. Staff being able to communicate directly with one another to fill or swap shifts made management's life easier. 

Sling will make your life easier. 

Very good but I need the return of quarterly intervals.

Recent Changes

I have used Sling for a few years now -- it meets my needs and goes above an beyond for the products it offers to the user. Sling support staff have been responsive to my needs and questions. A Great Product!

Sling Software Saved Me So Much Time!

We needed something to help communicate with all of our staff, and we tried lots of other systems. With Sling's many ways to communicate, via pages, messages, and the scheduling portion, we found it the most useful. We love that you can like or comment on posts to ensure staff know what they are doing, and that you can pin high priority topics at the top of the page to best find them when you need access quickly.

BEST for Staff Communication (time off, messages, notices, meetings)

We tried to move from Sling to another product and ultimately went back to Sling.  It is extremely user friendly, can handle the crazy scheduling needs for our complex hospital, as well offers an employee database.

Employee Perspective

Sling Review

Sling is a great time management platform that is user friendly for management and employees.

Sling is good for small businesses! 

In the nature of my business, it just works! I love that my employees can see who else is working where. BUT they can see who is working with them.The fees are totally afforadable! It makes life SO easy for me from what we were using before!! 

Game Changer for us.

It works with a staff of over 50 associates and makes scheduling much simpler with that number of staff.   Covering 12- 15 different shifts per day in a 24/7 department.
