Makeshift is solid and performs well to provide everyday basic use of scheduling software. The apps, both from an employee and manager are very well done and user friendly. The messaging out to the team is simple to use and effective for instant communication. Setting up new locations is fairly easy to be able to customize according to needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MakeShift? The issues revolve around a too simplistic integration with HRIS system. In our case, its ADP Workforce Now. The only feature that functions reasonably well (though its not amazing), is the employee sync whereby users can be automatically added with their contact information from ADP into Makeshift. One of the significant challenges, though, is that Makeshift and ADP simply cannot be reliably used to help with timeclock restrictions in a live immediate capacity. Meaning that Makeshift schedules don't automatically update ADP timeclocks to effectively put in restrictions on when employees can or can not clock in. The system requires constant manual updates to facilitate that functionality, which doesn't serve businesses like restaurants who have daily and hourly schedule updates. Timeclock integration is a feature that we feel is critical to helping businesses achieve efficiency and oversight. This aspect of the product in its integration with ADP, does not support the needs of our business and we feel there is a big missing element to achieve better labor oversight and efficiency with a large hourly workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MakeShift solving and how is that benefiting you? Automated schedules with employees, simplistic shift changes, and communication between management and employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makeshift has many features for scheduling employees across different companies, departments, schedules, and job sites. Works well for employees on personal devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MakeShift? Remains unchanged in 2023 --\>There are a few features I would love to see implemented in the near future: 1)The ability to add shift requirement blocks. If you have 30 shifts across a seven-day week, you have to create 210 shift requirements individually. 2) Once connected with ADP, you lose the ability to add or create users if they are not in ADP. I have a temp that is not in ADP so I can not schedule them in Makeshift. 3) Schedule printing is woefully inadequate. 4) (BIGGEST COMPLAINT) There is no logging feature. As a company admin, I can not go back and look at which managers/supervisors are making changes, so it's tough to track mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
