Jolt vs. Shiftboard

• There is no better way for Cleaning & Maintenance Lists. The follow-up is automatic, it is user-friendly for leaders, and easy to update as needs change.
• I am excited for the new updates coming out that will help our new hire training!

It's a great intro into a workforce management tool, but our use of it is basically as a calendar without it being linked to our actual calendars. It's just another tab that we have to keep open throughout our workday. It's great that we're able to see everyone who is working at what time and what channel of support, but I believe that there are visual aids that can be added to it to make everything much easier to read and more user-friendly.

• Time management and tracking of daily employee productivity.
• Allows for instructional data to be added to all our checklists, audits, etc to provide hands on training all the time!
• Ease of use. It's a breeze to create new lists and use the lists already created
• Mobility- my staff is on the go and being able to grab an iPad at the beginning of their shift and take it with them through the day completing tasks and allowing for more autonomy in our work force
• Versatile. Can be use for simple list down to more complex guides and checklists with calculations and scoring.

Incentivized

• Mobile accessibility
• Cloud-based software
• Compliant with all necessary information security standards

• We would love to see a "favorites" icon that can be enabled for any label. We have dozens of labels specific to products/processes that are grouped within a multitude of categories. If one is not familiar with which category a label is stored, it requires the use of the search function in Jolt (which is definitely a nice feature and great time saver). However, we were able to create a category called "favorites" and duplicated our frequently used labels into this location for ease of access.

• The ability to print a month view of the schedule would be a great benefit.
• The signup list is a great feature, but there are too many steps to make it easy to use.
• The bulk add and delete process works well, but tends to be confusing for users.

Jolt is very user friendly and offers a lot of solutions to my companies needs. If it offered a Payroll piece and a Point of Sale piece it would make it a complete system that would solve 99% of my companies needs.

The system itself is very user friendly and every one of our team members is able to use it easily. The only difficulty that we have occasionally run into is a lack of connectivity between the Bluetooth printer and the iPAD. There are only two or three of us on staff that are well versed enough with the product to be able to fix it when there is this kind of issue.

When I have had questions or needed technical support, I have received a very prompt response to my emails. The answers are concise and if there are instructions they are easy to follow and implement. All interactions I have had with the Jolt team have been a very positive experience.

I never sought out Shiftboard support.

Jolt is user-friendly and was an easy implementation. Held a couple of training classes for our management on how to use the product.

Jolt provides a full house of solutions. I would have to go with at least two of the other companies to capture all the solutions I was looking for. Jolt gave me all of it. I also want to be clear that other companies promised solutions that they hadn't built out yet. Jolt is upfront and honest about things they are working on, but they won't sell them to you as a means to get you in, only to disappoint you. I have a lot of respect for that.

We have not used another product like Shiftboard at our company.

• Food safety processes have reduced significant amount of time managing.
• Cleanliness- Saved some labor dollars here by implementing a more consistent process. Added some training videos on cleanliness to help give a clear message of the expectation.
• Recipe Management- We have saved thousands on having the ability to upload live recipes and be global rather than having the paper copies of recipes laying around and possibly not being up to date.

• Effective allocation to proper shows/projects for our network
• Effectively catches any discrepancies between scheduled hours and actual hours for employees
• Requires significant manpower to maintain scheduling accuracy
