Able to copy and paste schedule week to week. Ability to message employees as a group or as an individual. Sends a reminder to each employee an hour before their scheduled start time.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/17/2020 "Great software for event managers when creating a day-of staff schedule!" 4/5 What do you like best about Sling? One of my favorite things about Sling is that it allows me to get out of Excel spreadsheets explaining to staff what they should do on an event day. Now, it's simple for them to login and see what, when and where they should be to contribute to a successful event! Having a mobile app is a gamechanger! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sling? I wish the message feature was replaced with some type of instant messager similar to Slack. It would keep all communication about the event in one place instead of having to go back and forth between Slack or Group Texts and the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sling solving and how is that benefiting you? No more confused staff saying they didn't know they were assigned a shift. They also don't have to carry around a printed paper copy of the excel spreadsheet staff schedule. It's all in the app on their phone, which they're already on anyways!
