Overall Satisfaction with Deputy

I use Deputy to manage the rostering, timekeeping and task management for my retail store. It is an effective and easy to use tool to manage these processes. It [is] straightforward for the staff to use as well.
  • Rostering.
  • Timekeeping.
  • Onboarding new staff.
  • Managing staff communications and tasks.
  • I've never managed to integrate Deputy with Xero. This may be my problem, but it is difficult to manage the various award options.
  • It would be great if Deputy could be tied to the various awards in Australia.
  • Reoccurring tasks are not that easy to manage.
  • It would be nice to attach files to tasks.
  • The scheduling functionality was a big improvement over the manual process that we used previously. Rostering now takes about a quarter of the time than it did with a manual system.
  • Communicating and monitoring tasks has added to our store efficiency and accountability ensuring that important tasks are completed in a timely manner.

Yes

Did implementation of Deputy go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Deputy again?

Yes

Most of the functionality is very easy to use, but I have yet to work out the interface with Xero. I am sure that there is more to get out of the product, but I find that I only use it for the obvious functions.
There really wasn't much of an implementation for us - we are too small - we just started using it.
I really only know about using Deputy for a small business with one location, so I will use that as my base. It is very good at managing schedules and time keeping for my small team. It appears that this would also be the case for larger organisations as well.
