Findmyshift Reviews

Pros

Simple to use and cost effective scheduler that can be accessed from any device.

Cons

Can be somewhat time consuming - universal shift updates would be useful.

Pros

Easy to edit and change on the fly with our fast changing environments.

Cons

Would like if there was an equipment function.

Reasons for Switching to Findmyshift

Ease of editing and use able to shift on the fly

Pros

Not much, the system is almost used for us as

Cons

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.

Pros

The versatility and ease of use is fantastic, for the most part...

Cons

..having said that, there are some things that drive me crazy, because i dont understand them: we almost only use the "facility" view for managing our book. Unfortunately, when we (or anyone) switches over to the "staff view", the book is mostly a complete mess. it must be that different people request different things (they request the "comment" with the location, instead of the shift time), or when we manually input someone, we input their shift as a comment, so it doesnt translate correctly from the VIEW (!) in facility view to what you would expect to show up in the staff view. Therefore, we've given up to use the staff view, and tell our staff to not use it in order to not get confused. I dont know if there's an easy solution to this, so that we could use both again, but we clearly havent found it.

Lucky punch, I honestly don't really remember. I sometimes wonder if other softwares were integrating other aspects more (e.g. vault for keeping employee documents, digital work contracts etc.) - but not sure we actually need this. You don't really know what you need until you find something that makes life so much easier, I guess....

Pros

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

Cons

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

costings were much lower and had all the features required

Pros

Easy to use, intuitive, good price very customizable.

Cons

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.

Humanity

Reasons for Switching to Findmyshift

This was easier to manage and could add more details into rosters

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

Its easy to use for both staff and management

Cons

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Pros

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!

Cons

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

Sage Payroll

Reasons for Switching to Findmyshift

Multiple function within one system. One go to place to manage my staff. Extremely fast system to use and user friendly. You can train yourself (guides is very explanatory)

Pros

Simple & Clear Visuals, simple functionality

Cons

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.

Reasons for Switching to Findmyshift

Familiarity with it from past experience, familiarity

Pros

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

Cons

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

Alternatives Considered

TimeKeeper

Reasons for Switching to Findmyshift

We use both, but the Findmyshift is much better for the schedule side of things, TimeKeeper is much better for clocking in and out as it allows us to have a tablet on the wall as a Kiosk to save people from using the app and it also means they have to be on site to clock in or out.

Pros

Staff find it more straight forward to use, it has reminders on and no one misses there shifts. No one writes over and or can amend without permission and its cleaner and tidier

Cons

over complicated in areas such as booking holiday and leave entitlement. Almost too many tabs and variations without little understanding

Alternatives Considered

i find it a little costly to be honest so I would consider other options.

Reasons for Switching to Findmyshift

We will look at this again and try and implement it from a cost point of view.

Pros

more efficient the excel spreadsheets, plus has excel functionality. Shift reminders are very helpful and useful. Staff management and schedueling.

Cons

unable to add phone numbers or other details when adding staff members. Limited number of staff that can be added. Printing sizes cannot be adjusted which can affect scale for print out versions.

Reasons for Switching to Findmyshift

Better value for money and the features were more suited to what we needed.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Pros

It is user friendly. We are using it since last two years.

Cons

Communication with software provider is not convenient.

Pros

Its quick and easy to set up and does the job its required to do

Cons

it could be a complete management tool if you added the bells and whistles.

Pros

Flexibility of use and ease of setting up

Cons

Difficulty in organising staff "positions" on the rota.
Would be good if it was possible to move people up / down on the rota for making printouts easier to read.

Pros

Ease of access by users through the App.

Cons

The process for inserting new fields is somewhat challenging.

Pros

It's so easy to use and very tech friendly to explain to our staff. The online rota is so easy to set up and make changes to and then sends immediate notifications to the employee.

Cons

Nothing - honestly the system is a breeze it has all the features we need and just works very well.
