Stefanie O
Director of Operations
5.0

Stefanie O.: Hi, my name is Stefanie and I work for an orthodontic practice with a team size of about 60 people and I'm the director of operations. And I would rate Sling as a 5. So before we were using Sling, I was using a Word document that basically I would type out the location or a multi-location practice. So I was typing out each location and who was working in that location, at what time. I chose Sling because I could type in all of our different locations that we have. It made it very easy to put in everyone's time schedule. I could easily see that they weren't going into overtime. And then also I like the fact that if somebody can't cover their shift, we can make it unavailable. Getting started with Sling was also very easy. I put in all of our employees' names, their roles in our company, all of our multi-locations and our hours, and was able to color code everything, which was a nice feature. I love that. It makes it easy for the team to see certain features that we have to see who they're working with it. Everything is great. My advice for anyone thinking about trying Sling is just to do it. The trial is super easy to set up. You have a ton of features that you can either choose to use or to not use. And if you don't like it, then you can research another product and see if that fits your needs better. I did do a few before ending up deciding on using Sling.
