Extremely useful software, I use it to schedule every resource requirement at my current company. It has increased efficiency and reduced overlap errors in scheduling time. The platform is especially helpful with adhoc requests that require immediate planning & resource allocation. Also love the fact that they have pre-made templates for different industries.

Being able to create repeating shifts, to be able to visualize what any given should look like, saves a lot of time and energy when planning a shift schedule. It gives a great overview of your business. I have never had to explain the software to my employees, as it is very intuitive. When we have hired new staff, we simply add them into Sling, and their shifts show up on their smartphone apps. I love to be able to keep an overview of all my currently active employees, as well as keep a log of former employees through the deactivated accounts. I feel you get extremely much functionality out of the free version of the software. I highly enjoy being able to see the schedule through different filters, or views. For example viewing only a certain group of employees (part-time employees for example), and seeing each day isolated, so I can get an overview of exactly which person is at work during which time of the day.

The ease of adding unavailability and of changing shifts
