Overall Satisfaction with Planday
Planday is used within our support department, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is used to maintain shift patterns for each of the teams within the department. We also use it to manage absences such as sick leave and annual leave. It gives a great overview of staffing for the department.
- Provides an overview of staffing levels for each team, and the department as a whole.
- The UI makes it very easy to get a snapshot view of the staffing levels for set time period.
- Managing absences and arranging for shift swaps are also efficiently handled using Planday.
- Has a rigid structure, so there is only one way to do any particular task.
- So much easier to manage than an Excel spreadsheet!
- The relatively low cost is completely outweighed by the time saved using Planday
Other than an Excel spreadsheet and countless templates, we haven't really used anything else.
