It's well suited for simple aggregate tracking of day to day, time for reps. It is not suitable if you want anything better than a 30K foot view. It's very high level but doesn't help you optimize.

Sling has been our best option for communication and scheduling. We looked into OnShift and other scheduling systems that aren't free. Sling has been our best option. Our schedule is a beast and Sling has made my job much easier and for our on-call staff as well. You can change the color of positions (which we love) and we love to use green for bonus money shifts!

Cons
  • Don't provide ANY way to optimize staffing
  • We spent a LOT of time with them working on seeing queue availability for each rep. They tried but weren't completely sure what their product could or could not do. The effort was there, but if they had known their product better it would have been a quick 'no'.

  • Bring back the forever repeating shifts, they currently only repeat for 1 year so I have to go through every shift once a year & reset them.
  • Our staff liked when they had birthday notifications for staff.
  • Wish there was a way for admins to be managers of managers. What I mean by that is when management requests time off I do not get a notification so they have to let me know separately.
