    Shortcut
    Shortcut is very useful to organice your teams, we use it for Devs, Sales, Marketing and Customer Support areas. Each team has different objectives but the topics where 2 or more areas are involved, is when it shines with the categorization, sub-stories and story relationships. Everyone can see the updates and progress of the stories and receive notifications so the communication between the teams flows naturally

    Cons
    Homebase
    • The messaging features in Homebase are not consistent across the platform. In the app you can mass message everyone, however using the website you cannot, at least not at the price point that we are using.
    • The roles for employees and how to navigate them can be confusing especially when trying to schedule one employee in two different departments.
    • The separation of departments is a bit rigid and makes it difficult for universal employees to be scheduled easily.

    Usability
    Homebase
    Homebase is very easy to use. Not a lot of training or direction is needed to get it going. Easy feature to track employee hours. Able to use centrally located tablets for employees to clock in and out. A very cost-effective system that also saves time when processing payroll. Employees love its features.

    As I said before Shortcut helped us to implement the SCRUM Methodology in our company we are using it since it was known as Clubhouse.io, the user-friendly interface and flexibility is great

    Alternatives Considered
    Homebase
    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!

    Shortcut is a more robust platform to organice our teams and, it uses the "kanban model" as trello but the customization and the organization via stories and epices are preferred by our devs
