    Sling, Inc
    Sling offers enough customization I can see it working in most any scheduling scenarios. The ability to build job types into each employee gives you the control to match employee skills with the need for any particular position. Time of day templates makes it easy to select various shift times.

    If you are looking to schedule off of traffic instead of sales history, this is the tool for you. The only issue is if you have a location that is low volume, the scheduling tool will recommend 0 staff to work in select segments. This tool is ideal for stores that have 2 or more people during the day.
