Skedulo

I semi-remotely manage team of retail sales representatives distributed across a broad territory, and the ease of use, real-time updates, and recurring shift functions are critical to piecing together a complex schedule with ease and a relatively light use of my time. I've been using Skedulo for over two years, and before this we used a spreadsheet / google form to manage scheduling & check-ins, which comparatively feels quite primitive now.

The aspects of Skedulo that could be improved the most in my eyes would be reducing processing times to make inputting schedules even faster and more customizability for end users on display/layout for different schedule visualization. Being able to run reports internally through Skedulo on shift attendance, check-in/check-out compliance, trends, etc. would be quite helpful.

One of the best applications to use from a mobile prospective as they have made it real simple, fast, reliable and no breakage during work on the mobile application. Their customer support is great.

They need to make few updates from time to time on the maps therefore it is an issue.

As the employee being managed by this software, the central location of job details and relevant document attachment is handy. The mapping/location feature I'm sure would be helpful in many situations. Appears to be fairly customizable as all forms and links are in house.

My employer chose to roll this app out for use on employee personal devices. They have %0 controll or access logging. My personal contact info (email and phone) are posted for all other users to see. My daily timesheets completed thru the app are accessible to other field level employees and include hours & locations worked, rate of pay and any pay premiums applicable. Images of my signature are also accessible to my peer coworkers. All in one location and visible as far back as Feb 2022 for every day. My employer has not educated any users on how to safely or securely install app on personal smartphones to keep app data separate and secure from malicious apps installed for personal use. Once installed and logged in to app I can hard reset phone by holding power button to shut down and restart phone, once restarted I can open app without a password. The location and tracking features of the app interfere with manufacturer gps Protocols and overrides location permissions to run 24/7 in background.
