Tracksmart vs. When I Work

The system is great for attendance. It is also good for employee's time tracking, however, this feature works well for an organization that pays on a per hourly basis.

I recommend When I Work to those companies that are looking for a way to manage work schedules and want to increase the productivity of all employees. This is an important platform that would bring excellent results to small, medium and large companies. This is a constant monitoring system which allows employees to complete their tasks in the indicated time, When I Work sends automated alerts when an employee is not complying with their tasks and this allows us to know exactly the productivity we are having in each one of the sectors. It is an excellent platform for planning and administration of working hours, it has a very easy-to-use UI that allows schedules to be easily managed. Without a doubt, When I Work would be a perfect implementation for any sector or company, since it has a lot of potential to collect exact data on compliance with working hours.

• Tracksmart = great
• Personelle = awful
• In my opinion, do not use Personelle

Incentivized

• When I Work allowed me to color-code each employee's schedule.
• When I Work allowed me to show who was "off" during what time of day. This was essential for morale, as our event included 16-18 hour days, and I wanted to show that everyone had down time each day.

• We've had a few instances where the site was down and we weren't able to access our schedules which was tricky, so now we save a back up copy to have on hand in case it goes down.
• There is room for improvement in the notifications.

Incentivized

• Customer service only available by chat or email. No phone- which is crazy, in my opinion. Slows down, getting things done.
• Understanding their charges is a pain. I still don't know what I am paying for.
• If you are being overcharged, they don't care; they keep you on billing for something in a group.

It's a powerful tool for employee management and intuitive to use.

While it's one of the better apps, my only complaint is the icon layout of the dash; mouseover sometimes doesn't work for my system.

Tracksmart has been very helpful when we have problems with our scheduling or questions about how to do different tasks. They are responsive and it's always a positive experience when we interact with them.

Every time I contact When I Work staff with an issue, someone is there with a quick solution to my problem. I love the chat feature. I can continue to work on other things while the When I Work representative assists me.

Make certain your team knows how to turn off alerts and utilise the system.

We feel like Tracksmart has all of the features that we need for our team to schedule live chat shifts. The ability to trade shifts has been hugely helpful for our team and we love the user-friendly flexibility of the software.

When I Work seemed a bit easier to implement for our team and employees. When I Work had all the things we needed without a lot of the bells and whistles that we wouldn't really utilize. When I Work was also a bit more affordable for our budget. Overall, it was the better choice.

• Makes employees more accountable
• Easier to request time off rather than taking management's time up - they can view requests at their convenience
• Some employees don't like it and don't utilize it consistently - might be better if it could be some sort of clock-in icon on desktop instead of a website window that needs to be opened.

• Compared to what I've used before, When I Work allows you to interact with your staff more than other scheduling apps.
• Though I don't know the cost, I was told it was cheaper than it's counterparts.
• The app doesn't have all of the features as the full website, but it's pretty close.
