Likelihood to Recommend I loved using Homebase! The best feature, by far, is scheduling in shifts! It really could not be easier! For restaurants and bars it is the easiest and best software! Using the payroll feature can be very easy! The only downfall is trying to separate scheduled worked hours and overtime. The layout is simple and easy to navigate. The only real con I can think of is that lag.
Read full review If you need transparency around your workloads the product is great as it is easy to use and visually tells a story. It is ideal for SCRUM management as it plays into the ideas of Sprint Read full review Pros Homebase provides an easy way to schedule employees. Their scheduling platform is extremely user-friendly and easy to edit once the schedule is made. Homebase makes it easy for employees to switch schedules on their own, a manager just simply has to approve rather than physically rescheduling both employees, this is great for any small retail business or restaurant with many hourly employees. Homebase makes it easy to adjust hours that have been incorrectly clocked or clockouts that have been missed. Read full review Great for supporting SCRUM as part of Agile deliveries. We use the ToDo, Doing and Done and build GANNT charts to facilitate resource planning. We use it at a department level to manage workloads and help staff know what work is waiting for them and the relative priority. We have deployed it across the organisation and also work with suppliers and offshore development teams to coordinate activities. Read full review Cons Notifications could be more punctual Employees should be able to pick up shifts outside of their scheduled times! Right now managers need to do it. Importing hours on QBO payroll could use attention. Doesn't separate normal hours from overtime. Read full review Occasionally hangs at login but this may be to do with our authentication service. It would be nice when grouping cards together if there was an option to lay them over each other in a fan arrangement. Read full review Alternatives Considered Homebase is simpler to use. Easier to navigate and is much cheaper than other alternatives! We had trouble when I worked as they were harder to reach our ROI. Deputy was too expensive and it was the reason we decided on Homebase! Employees also find it easy to use on their end!

MS Project previously but ended up doing things in spreadsheets so KanBanchi has bridged this gap for us
Read full review Return on Investment Homebase has made the day to day management of employees easier, freeing up time for management to work on other things that help secure customer satisfaction. It has also made payroll easier since it's implementation and allowed for fewer mistakes than the previous manual method, leading to less monetary mistakes and happier employees. Homebase has made monitoring hours and overtime, as well as completion of internship and volunteer hours, much easier to monitor, leading to less confusion and more satisfied volunteers, interns, and payroll managers Read full review We have seen great value in our planning for Agile deliveries especially when applying it to SCRUM. Using the product we have found it quickly surfaces resource constraints and blockers when planning for projects. Read full review ScreenShots Kanbanchi for G Suite Screenshots
