Findmyshift

Avantages

Ease of use and ability to make and communicate real time adjustments.

Inconvénients

No issues to be honest - the real time access and ability to cut and paste meets our requirements.

Avantages

Easy to use and navigate. Geo tagging is great as proof of attendance to clients

Inconvénients

staff are able to deactivate the clock in/out photo feature

Avantages

I like the interface, it's ideal for what we need.

Inconvénients

We would like activity logs and to be able to schedule further into the future, but it's very expensive for a small team.

Avantages

Easy to use, intuitive, good price very customizable.

Inconvénients

If I have to nitpick on something, I guess it is that the mobile interface isn't so easy to use when making a schedule but it does work.

Avantages

A relatively easy to use employee management and scheduling solution for a reasonable price. Ideal for small remote teams and for office environment.

Inconvénients

Outdated platform design, some features are challenging to use. It is costly to use for multiple departments of the same company. No API connection to my understanding and no mobile access which makes it impossible to adapt in non-office like environment. Some reporting features missing, others are not useful for remote operations.

Pourquoi passer à Findmyshift

Avantages

its easy to use and give multiple layers of management oversight, from viewer to admin. Giving staffing team the flexibility to monitor their teams, and senior or management/ team leaders the ability to amend aspects and send requests. Budgeting and reporting tools are also very useful for planning and analysing using team data.

Inconvénients

the baby blue message windows with pale text do need a little amending, very hard to read.

Avantages

The easy of work and the way we can track hours worked

Inconvénients

Everything with Findmyshift works well, so nothing that i dislike

Avantages

Its easy to use for both staff and management

Inconvénients

When you are manually adding hours/ breaks to the timesheets it doesnt calculate them properly if you dont put the breaks underneath the worked hours

Avantages

I found Find My Shift to be an excellent tool in time sheets, client hour billings, invoicing, and more. The system is pretty easy to use and both efficient and effective.

Inconvénients

I love using it, just the least i kind of want to see improvement is when you type a name, you have to click refresh to have the name populate. This could be confusing for certain people.

Avantages

i like that I can use one program for rostering and costings. The staff love how interactive it is

Inconvénients

That I can't change the side bar back to the top

Avantages

Very convenient to create weekly employee schedule and a vehicle schedule.

Inconvénients

the app only shows your individual schedule..

Avantages

we like the fact that find my shift is easy access to all our staff. even those that aren't tech savvy

Inconvénients

there's nothing to much to complain about, only the viewing format on entering shifts from department view to staff view

Avantages

Very easy to navigate- made scheduling so much better! Easy to understand

Inconvénients

Wish you could enter coverage for a week- month etc, and not have to enter each day manually. ( And maybe you can but I dont know how!! )

Avantages

It makes chainging complicated rotas easy

Inconvénients

I would love to be able to give me team leads limited access to their teams within the group I have

Avantages

Find My Shift is a great rostering software. The app works well, and the website is user-friendly. We use it to manage our company’s staff roster, and it’s been very efficient and easy to use.

Inconvénients

One feature that would be really helpful is a version history for every roster, showing who edited it and how many times it’s been updated. Other than that, everything is already in place and working smoothly.

Avantages

It's simple and does what you need it to do. We can see at a glance where everyone is, and when they need to be there. Flexibility around push notifications is very helpful too.

Inconvénients

It's great for what it does, I wish it had more features e.g. shift reporting

Avantages

Makkelijk overzichtelijk via desktop. Fijn dat je medewerkers kunnen in en uit klokken.

Inconvénients

Moeilijke niet overzichtelijk, om dingen te bewerken moet je desktop versie openen. Beetje pruts

Avantages

The mobile app simplicity really was key for us. We are a museum who work with a large number of volunteers, many of whom aren't computer literate and don't use their phones for anything other than calls or texts. We had to ensure that they could access the schedules easily and understand them
The messaging system is a lovely surprise and works well - as does the notice board.
We also like its flexibility to store extra facts and info, so over time it has changed from being just our scheduling software to our HR hub, with all our staffing information (vehicle info, references etc) and policies and procedures stored alongside our weekly team updates.

Inconvénients

Some of the menus and reports are unnecessarily complicated with way too many options. Some of the office staff have struggle to gain access to the information they need. The reporting side is clumsy and difficult to use.
Some really simple, obvious changes can make a big difference but these changes don't seem to be being considered in any software changes to the program. For example, when looking on the mobile app, shifts are listed by the alphabetical order of first names rather than the actual times (or even the area!) of the shift. This is pretty ludicrous for a scheduling program.

Avantages

The customer service is super quick to respond via chat and is always a person, which is very helpful. Usually they can resolve the issue or I can figure out quickly that it's not possible to resolve the issue due to the limitations of the platform. It's also inexpensive compared to other rota systems we've looked at, so I suppose I would say it's value for money. However, I believe you are paying for what you get - a very basic and clunky rota system that is serviceable but not necessarily quality.

Inconvénients

The pros listed above are the only two things I like about FMS, so that basically means the cons are everything else. I don't find it to be user friendly for the employee - meaning it is difficult to see your shift pattern, apply for available shifts. The mobile app is unusable and we have to tell employees to use the desktop site at all times, which many find annoying. There's also no way to advertise available shifts in the facility view, only via staff view which I find very strange. We don't use it for timekeeping because there's no function for staff to 'check in' like on other rota systems. We also can't use it for payroll because we have staff working at more than one pay rate, and to adjust this and make exceptions has to be done staff member by staff member. Perhaps it's not only FMS's limitations but the way we build our rota system - I will be upfront that I did not built the rota system, rather inherited it from previous managers.

Avantages

Very user friendly, lots of options regarding how to lay out a roster (colours, areas, etc), good notification settings. Options for available shifts and staff ability to enter notes/leave/comments on different days.

Inconvénients

N/A, it is the best rostering system I have used.

Avantages

Has completely simplified our employee time keeping and makes doing payroll at the end of the month incredibly simple

Inconvénients

It is slightly on the pricey side for small business of around 6 -10 employees. We dont need the scheduling and a lot of the other features but we do need the ability to track clocking in and out of 6/7 employees

Avantages

Einfache Handhabung sowie gute Übersichtlichkeit

Inconvénients

Design könnte einbisschen überarbeitet werden

Avantages

Not much, the system is almost used for us as

Inconvénients

The system does not suit the busy shift working roster such as ED. There is no visibility of staff numbers, modification of requests is very hard, and generating a roster on this is almost impossible. We just use it as a demo for our roster that is made by Excel.

Avantages

The easy scheduling and for stores across different provinces. The easy management of hours as per SA law. The overall costing of staff. The easy creating of outlets and staff. LOVE this app!

Inconvénients

The rules (exceptions) that you need to write per employee and the fact that is does not incorporate holidays for other countries. The struggle to draw reports per different level

Pourquoi passer à Findmyshift

Avantages

The scheduling format is very simple and intuitive. I've used it for two different businesses, one only employing up to 10 people and one that employed 60+ and found it just as useful for both.

Inconvénients

It's only minor - I've received feedback from the team that they don't appreciate the reminders about upcoming shifts especially when it comes through on their scheduled days off. If this feature could be an opt-in rather than opt-out that would help.

Avantages

The easy of us, and the access staff can be given.

Inconvénients

It can be tricky to work at first and doesn't meet all needs. Staff can't see shifts further than purchased.

Avantages

Simple & Clear Visuals, simple functionality

Inconvénients

N/A - Nothing negative to say, other than in our case specifically perhaps, ease & depth of integration with Xero, there are other packages perhaps further developed in that regard.

Some features are a little clunky and the lack of support can be a little frustrating.

Such a great application for managing your staff, very easy to use, a great asset to our business and our day to day running of our operation.

Inconvénients

Pity you cannot edit rotas from your phone in the app if you are an administrator.

Avantages

Easy to work from PC and app on phones.
8 week template structure which makes it easy to upload shifts.
Can make changes without 'publishing' them so it gives the manager time to make changes before finalising

Pourquoi passer à Findmyshift

Avantages

It's easy to use, and always works fine!

Inconvénients

It's not intuitive as it seems when it comes to the facilities feature. But apart from that is good!

Avantages

One of the standout features of Findmyshift is its ease of adding and managing staff. The intuitive interface makes it simple to input new team members, ensuring that our employee database is always up-to-date. The process is not only quick but also remarkably user-friendly, making it accessible to team members at all levels of technological proficiency.

Perhaps one of the most appreciated features is the seamless distribution of each employee's timesheet. This functionality has significantly reduced the administrative burden associated with tracking hours worked. Employees can easily access their timesheets, promoting transparency and accountability within the team.

Inconvénients

Findmyshift may lean towards the higher end in terms of pricing, but its robust features and seamless functionality make it a worthwhile investment for businesses seeking comprehensive workforce management solutions.

Avantages

we found it very easy to use and works very well for us as a business. It helps us track holiday and who is in very well.

Inconvénients

The only issue is you cannot do partial sick days ie if someone comes in and leaves halfway through the day.

Avantages

This is fantastic software thats really easy to use.
It was set up really quickly and staff started to use it straight away.

Inconvénients

Nothing there is nothing about find my shift that i don't like.

Avantages

Ease of use and excellent support from help feature

Inconvénients

extra charges for accessing history seems excessive

Avantages

I think it is a great platform for scheduling work and projects in advance and providing that information to the team/crew. It is also great for checking back and reviewing time spent on each project, and it is great for recording Employee days off in advance and reviewing them when necessary.

Inconvénients

Overall it is a great platform, I think it would be useful to have a parallel surface for admin to schedule the work in advance and add project notes. This data can then be reviewed and finalised before it is available to the Employees to view on their own device.

Avantages

Easy to use for both staff and management. Everything in one place and all staff schedules instantly visible. Very useful for working out monthly wages.

Inconvénients

I have found no cons when using Findmyshift, nor have my staff

Avantages

I like being able to see weeks at a time, add holidays and count sick, it's great staff have the app and know what they're doing

Inconvénients

Typing things in wrong - I've almost paid people for 1 hour between 9 and 10am rather than their 9am-10pm shift

Avantages

Find my shift has a user friendly app for staff.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately Find my Shift does not link to my payroll app.

Avantages

Being able to import data such as staff details. Customisation of staff fields. Flexible and customisable security options.

Inconvénients

Holiday hours not included in weekly/daily totals. Overlap of time off with shifts can cause problems. Needs a custom rate for Holiday hours rather than picking up the rate from the Rate Exceptions list.

Avantages

Superb way of managing our staff rota, pay and leave. I hate to think what I would do without it. Great support too!

Inconvénients

Not compatible on mobile phone - with desktop site
Not easy to navigate

Avantages

Integrating it into my business was super easy and fast. And the report on hrs of operation makes for better time management

Inconvénients

The payment process is a bit different compared to established recurring billing for repeat customers
