> **Martine** | *6 August 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10

The support and implementation team are very hands on, they listen your needs, very quick responses and their chatbot is very useful. The app is well done and the UI is nice and clean. Our people manage very quickly how to use it.
> 
> **Cons**: The reports are little bit limited and there is no chat session available for the team. The open shifts cannot be shared/exchanged between people with the team at the moment.
> 
> Excellent\! Our project manager is very closed to us and very helpful. He takes time to understand our needs and get back to us very quickly. The employes find the application easy to use as well as our scheduling team. We have now over 350 people using the apps and it makes our life much easier.
