What do you dislike about MakeShift?

"Megan's Makeshift Review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about MakeShift?

Makeshift is helpful in that whenever shifts are posted, I immediately get a notificaion. It is very easy to pick up shifts as well, the buttons are user-friendly for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

The only downside I've had with Makeshift include not initially being an "admin." Because of this, I was not able to update or change the schedule when there were sick calls for a shift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about MakeShift?

It's easy to set work schedules and change them as needed and to add employee's as needed. I can make different time availabilities and set each person's availability for longer periods of time(date wise) easily. I also like that you are able to put notes with the shift if needed for clarification. I can easily use the web on my phone to log in and make adjustments if I happen to not be home to do so. The fact that if anyone needs changes made I can get notified so I know to look at it and make the appropriate adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

It could be easier to use on the phone when necessary. Sometimes it's difficult to move the shifts when using my phone for the site to make a quick adjustment. Although, it may be made to only be used on a computer which can be understandable. Other than that I have no complaints, it's very easy to use and learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward Tool to Help with Automated Operational Scheduling"
3/5
What do you like best about MakeShift?

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.
