Playvox
Playvox is well suited to rate and track process adherence and work quality percentual. It is also great to document coaching and track advisors' development, as well as to do knowledge checks through quizzes. It is not so appropriate if you need to see the previous coachings made, since those cannot be opened when they finished.

As a supervisor this software is a big help for us to be able to make a proper tracking of our task force, without interfering or being over the shoulder, the variety of options available is great, while I had no full control of the software by company regulations I was able to use it in specific for the managing of the shifts and performance of our teams.

I do not think my organization has and 2nd thought of changing the Playvox because I am sure they cannot find another option that is as easy and smooth. There is no other option at all. Playvox is being used here in every department and the company cannot run without this. Now it is a basic need of this business

Usability
Playvox
Playvox is an easy-to-use platform, all features are intuitive, which makes navigation easy. I never found navigation problems, I was always able to find all the items I needed, all the information is well separated, what could improve is the possibility of moving some items, putting the ones that I use the most in evidence.

We have had multiple live trainings (Zoom). The training at the beginning of the set up was top notch. We had some additional questions about coaching and they jumped on the opportunity to help us. We have a designated trainer and account manager.

The training came from one of our associates it was not directly from a Workmate employee, however, it was good enough to let us understand it, and the person who gave us the training was open to ask questions even after the training ended, however as it was really easy to use, we only contacted him for small details.

From the day first, we were active on Playvox and happy with the features. It does not take much time to understand its features and its performance. A few training sessions with 'How to use' and we are experts using Playvox.

I selected Playvox as it is the platform my organization uses. I've never worked with another platform like this. In other companies I worked, procedures, communications, and training were not saved, they were only communicated verbally and sometimes a document with what should be done, but nothing compared to the ease of using a Playvox.

It was not my decision to use it, it was the software available for that current campaign in the company, being honest while both of them are excellent to work with, the design in OnShift is more user friendly, most of my colleagues were in agreement with that, as for Workmate, it was really helpful but some times we were confused by the user interface, it wasn't very negative but it really gets on your nerves.

  • The learning curve is a bit slow at the beginning and we needed some time and several weeks to adapt to the system.
  • We have also had to use external technical support because we have had no response from Workmate technical support.
  • It has made it easier for us in the HR department, which means faster work in less time.
