Connecteam is designed to meet the needs of those in non-desk industries, like construction, healthcare, and retail. The app is ideal for businesses who want to improve & simplify team management.
Businesses and teams of any size across various industries.
Our experience has been great. I am not very tech savvy, but with the help of the connecteam staff I am now able to navigate the app and dashboard with ease and teach others.
I gave up and made my own training videos on how to use the app and they still struggle).
Works seamlessly without delays on the push notifications to users, geo fencing is the best part and the approval requests for extended work hours are very much useful and many more.
SMS functions didn't go well, probably due to local regulations SMS may have delivery failures.
I would very much recommend this app to other (small) businesses. What a great thing to empower small business by making it free of charge.
I don't like that i can't go put in unavailable the employee can only do that.
Their product & services are superb. The Connecteam platform has been a perfect addition to our small business that is headed for a rapid growth.
Due to the COVID epidemic, my team had to rapidly transition our way of business. Connecteam allowed us to solve several logistics problems that allowed us to thrive and grow.
Google chat is a great platform for effective coordination and collaboration between internal teams. It has a user friendly UI and is very simple & easy to use.
Google Chat's interface is frustrating to say the least. They killed the Google Chat desktop application, and the web application has a habit of being slow and clunky.
This chat is easy to use and recently had some great new features added. The ability to edit a message that was already sent is AMAZING.
Sometimes you will get lots of notifications when you stuck in your work on that time it’s like hell to use.
The app is a good work tool because it works a real time, it runs pretty good in mobiles and it's a pretty good app for chatting with one or more coworkers.
Sometimes my messages don't get delivered. It keep saying message failed, not sure if it was my internet connection problem.
What I like most about this program is that it is great for what it was designed for and it will just get better.
If your coworker has a bad habit of not paying attention to their text messages, send them a message on Google Chat.
Maria H.: Hi, I'm Maria. I'm the Director of Administration and Finance at First Presbyterian Church in Lake Wales, and I give Connecteam five stars. We used to be using a different online time clock program, but I was notified that the price was going up by 50% about a week before that date. I started looking around because we're a non-profit, and I saw that Connecteam had extremely high ratings. And so that's why we tried it. I really liked the idea of the idea of the geofencing because our church is kind of spread out in a couple different buildings. And the nursery workers were able to go right to work, and they didn't have to come by the office all the time to clock in and out. Same thing for the custodians, if they were ready to take their lunchtime, they could just clock out or clock back in. The geofencing was amazing. It also worked for our secretary, who would take deposits to the bank, and she could clock out there on her way home. And then, as an administrator, I could approve it, and she did not have to come back to the office to clock out or anything. It's very easy. Even our custodian, that's a little challenged when it comes to using electronic devices, after the first day, she just loves it. It's very easy. I like the reports. And the tech support person that did help me finalize a couple things on setup was just amazing. And the best part of it all is, since we have less than 10 people on the program, it's free for us, which is a help for a charity. And we all love it. I did have a little glitch on startup. There were a couple things I had questions on. We are a small company, and I wanted to make sure that I got it set up just right. And I was able to sign up for 15 minutes or so with one of their tech support people, who was just amazing. So setup went very seamlessly after that. It's just a great program and very easy to use. It gives us all the information that we need. So Connecteam is perfect, I think, for either small companies or large companies. It is so filled with just different things you can do with it that it would handle multiple locations or just a single location with just a handful of people. So I would say, definitely give it a look, give it a try. It's an amazing program, and I think you'll be very happy with it.
Steve: Hi, this is Steve, and I'm vice president of marketing at my organization. We have used Google Hangouts for a long time, and I give it a five star rating. For more reviews like this, click the link below. The reason we chose Google Hangouts is other products make you download apps, and it just got cumbersome and confusing for some of the people. So for us to use it, it was just much simpler and easier to use for all involved. The reason we chose Google Hangouts is it's tied into Gmail and that makes it much more seamless. Therefore, we just send a calendar invite to people through our Gmail calendar, and they click a link and the meeting launches. That way, they don't have to download anything, and we can get into our meeting. Using Google Hangouts was very easy. With this, we never had to use customer support or talk to anybody else. We just sent a calendar invite to those we wanted to be part of the meeting. They clicked the link, the application launched, and we were able to start our meeting. So it was very seamless and easy to get up and running, which was very important to us. The reason we liked Google Hangouts is because if you have a Gmail account, it makes it so much seamless and easy to get a meeting together and very quickly. I would recommend it for that reason alone, because it was just easy to do through Gmail and have your meeting and be efficient, and time is important to all of us these days.
