    Shiftboard
    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.

    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.

    Cons
    Shiftboard
    • 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.

    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.

    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.
