Deputy

For us it works very well for scheduling but for reporting we are relying on Xero, and if Xero offered the same scheduling and staff login management/tracking we would no longer need to use Deputy.

We heavily use iPads and iPhones, making Deputy an excellent fit due to its seamless apps that perform exceptionally well across all devices. However, Deputy may not be the ideal choice for budget/hour scheduling purposes.

It is well suited for Hospitality with high number of casuals, part timers, and employees. Deputy kiosk makes it very easy for employees to clock in and out and prevents buddy punching. They can straight see their rostered hours and it makes it very easy for managers to review and approve timesheet at the end of the day. It is all on the cloud, fast and easy. When you are dealing with high number of employees and mostly on hourly base, things can get out of hand and Deputy makes it very easy to keep track of everyone's status. I think Deputy would not suit well for the businesses where most employees are full timers and tracking hours of each employee are not very critical.

This app saves me at least a few hours each month of monotony. It always provides an attractive UI for my staff to submit vacation and leave requests. This app is not very well suited to those who want more fuller automation that requires pattern building to make their schedules. those who like to print out a paper copy of the schedule might not like the output options that Deputy provides.

If you are a huge company with thousands of employees, Deputy probably won't work well for you. If you have under 100, you can make Deputy work and it is incredibly affordable. I wish it was integrated with our payroll system (GoCo), but the reporting in Deputy is easy enough that it isn't a big hassle. We are also a small team, so I imagine it could be cumbersome to have a nonintegrated solution for larger teams.
