Australian company Skedulo offers their eponymous workforce management software optimized for managing a team of mobile employees working in the field.
7Shifts is ideal for a broad number of restaurant clients, whether it is a single unit, independent location or multi-unit, multi-jurisdiction group like ours. Pricing is very reasonable, and as mentioned earlier, a lightweight and intuitive platform makes it easy to implement and maintain, and scalable for growth
Skedulo works well to visualize capacity. It also works well to assist with the planning of routes and distribution of work. It works well for the field resources and provides the key information about their jobs and enables alerts to be provided to customers. The automated Optimization & Scheduling engine is still maturing. Skedulo also does a good job satisfying the customer's unique requirements and has a solid in-house development team looking to continually improve the platform.
iPhone app: I'm not able to change the preset time frames so I have to manually enter the shifts
When working from the app it doesn't block out the time off as it does on the desktop so I have to make sure I haven't approved anyone first before I start doing the schedule
Support - whether via email or chat - has generally been prompt, reliable, courteous and effective. Support follows-up and works proactively to ensure our questions and issues are addressed. 7Shifts also genuinely cares about customer success, which is important to us
We actually use Skedulo as our only dispatching appointment program. Salesforce is not like Skedulo, but we use them together daily to ensure on-time specimen draws, delivery, and payout for all visits completed. Skedulo is very easy to interface with other programs.
I have worked in the service industry before where we just had a phone directory and copy of the schedule posted on a cork board by the office. It was a nightmare! I would say 7shifts has made a major impact on ensuring proper coverage for different meal hours and special events. We do not run short staffed very often anymore.
