Web and Social Media Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Timetastic Review" March 7, 2019 5.0 Timetastic is a real time saver, and it works for the whole office. The work sheet is fantastic, since it is divided into days and hours and even the pay deductions from leave times are based on that sheet. The work sheet is visible to everyone in the office, so there is no more confusion as to who is supposed to be on duty or who in-fact is on leave for the day, or absent on vacation. Pros What I like most about this nifty little Timetastic app is the fact that it is able to group staff members together, separate from the bosses' group, which is also grouped together. It really helps not having that blend-over. The app updates all changes made to it instantly, and it can be downloaded to mobile or to your desktop at work. This app in my opinion, is the fastest, smoothest way to book days off or to get approval for leave days. Cons What I like least about Timetastic is that while it is promoted as being a free app that you can use, the trial version does expire after two months and by then you feel like you have to pay for it. You feel that way because of the extent of time you've already invested into the app, and after having it on your phone for two months you have already logged everyone in the company's names, calendars, as well as everybody's leave day information and even private notifications that had been sent through the Timetastic app, and you don't want to loose any of that data, so you end up having to pay for the app. Review Source Kate A. Co-founder/COO at Loco2 Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effortless " September 18, 2018 5.0 Pros Timetastic has a simple, easy to use interface. This enabled us to delete some boring and complicated spreadsheets that were hard to maintain. Horray! New starters require no induction, and admins can quickly get on with this often tedious process. I rate the Slack integration since many of our team are remote - it enables us to effortlessly manage and track who's on leave. I think Timetastic is great value and have recommended to other small business owners I know. Cons It's a pity you can't edit leave once it's approved, so admins get multiple emails from users - 'so and so cancelled their holiday', 'so and so requested a new holiday'. This could be merged into one notification, or you could permit admins to edit leave directly rather than deleting/adding. - It's not clear that users can book leave that spans non-working days without deducting from their allowance, so some people send multiple requests - booking Friday and Monday separately. This could also be solved by an email digest. Review Source KC Kate C. Team Coordinator Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timetastic Coments / Review" September 18, 2018 3.0 Its great to have so we know the whereabouts of the team as not everyone keeps an Outlook Calendar. Also people don't always have to ask me!! The guys are very efficient / on the ball at answering my questions. Pros Its great to have a picture of all team members and where they are - be it on leave, on site etc. Easyish to use when people get the hang. Some people have trouble getting on in the first place (I think may be user error). Good for resourcing (when used properly). Cons If we could have a bit more flexibility with leave etc. that has been input if we need to cancel just one day out of 7 for example. You need to cancel the whole request and resubmit. More colours for categories would be good too. Review Source Avery K. HR & Talent Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and covers our basic needs!" September 18, 2018 5.0 Pros As HR & Talent Manager for the company, it can be quiet overwhelming trying to figure what is the best platform for all stakeholders involved. Luckily, Timetastic has been our trusty sidekick when it comes to the holidays and leave. It's easy to use, a good user experience, and doesn't break the bank. Overall, I've been very happy with the service! Cons One of our perks is an extra holiday day for every year employed with the business. It can get a bit confusing to implement this automatically with Timetastic. It's almost easier just to enter everyone's extra day manually. Not a huge effort, but that's one thing that has been somewhat challenging. Review Source Richard M. Director Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timetastic has taken the burden of absence management away. " September 18, 2018 5.0 Pros The fact that all users can see who clashes with their request for time off. Most Holiday planning happens in the family home and users can see, via the Timetastic App, potential clashes without waiting to go to work to look on a conventional Holiday planner. The manager has to simply approve or disapprove as appropriate. Job done. Also good value for money. Cons It integrates quite well with Outlook as an additional calendar however it would be useful if it integrated in to our CRM as it would save having too run two separate diaries. Could also do with two managers being emailed about all holiday requests rather than just one admin. Review Source Kriss C. Head Of Development Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A simple yet robust solution for staff management" September 21, 2018 5.0 Timetastic has made the management of my team a breeze. The developers have clearly focused on good UX principles and making the day to day usage easy - all while allowing for more powerful features underneath. While I believe Timetastic could provide some more integrations out of the box, the fact that they provide an API more than makes up for this fact. We experimented with using the Bradford Factor in our company, a method for determining the risk associated with an employee's pattern of absence, and I was happy to discover the API during this process. I easily pulled in the data for each employee, the absence types, and then used this to calculate a score for each employee. In the future we plan to integrate Timetastic into our project management system so we can avoid booking developers in for tasks when they're not going to be in the office. Pros Ease of use, clean and friendly interface, powerful underlying features. Cons Could use a few more integrations with popular software Review Source Harvey E. Member of BAFTA Commercial Committee Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software allowing easy tracking of our team" September 18, 2018 5.0 We use Timetastic across 4 geographies, each with their own seasonal holidays - making it very easy to configure how each of the teams need to use the software, and providing us all with a central destination for what everyone is doing. Pros \+ Easy to set up accounts and configure + Very straightforward to define our own leave types, categories + Quick to use, seek approvals and process + Supports native holidays around the world + Slack integration sending data on who is in / out of the office each day Cons We separated one of our divisions into it's own company - we had to export and re-import the data, it would have been really convenient to merge them in dynamically. Review Source Ken W. Ecommerce Business Analyst Sporting Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and Easy to Use" October 3, 2019 5.0 I have loved using Timetastic. It works exactly as it was pitched to us. Knowing your coworkers PTO schedule was overlooked before we started using Timetastic, but now I cannot imagine life without it. Pros Timetastic is one of the cleanest and simplest tools I have ever used. It serves one purpose and it does it incredibly well. It provides a detailed look at the time off for everyone across our company. If I need to book a meeting, I always check my team's calendar first. Cons There really isn't much to dislike. Timetastic is so simple and does its job so well. Some people might say that it is too simplistic from a UX perspective. Review Source Seamus M. Account & Support Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and easy to use and excellent value for money" November 22, 2018 5.0 I do love Timetastic and its been a fantastic piece of software to use. I have recommended this to my friends within the industry. Pros My company never had any software in place before coming across Timetasic and it has been a sensation. It is so easy and simple to use to allocate the number of annual leave days to each staff member and split them up into teams and mark my team as favourites. I also love the ability to automatically post from TimeTastic to my general slack channel so the team will know that day who will be taking leave or at an external meeting each morning. This is cuts down on the questions relating to availability and potentially scheduling meetings with staff on leave. Cons If I view my approved leave notification within the web app the mobile app does not remove the notification. As I am a bit of an OCD freak with notification I have to open the mobile app and view the notification to remove it from my phone. Review Source Sophie S. Head of Operations Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timefantastic" September 19, 2018 4.0 It was a company process prior to me coming into the company but it's been really easy to use and if I want to do some changes more often than not the user face is intuitive enough that I can figure it out even without going to the help section. The integration into other tools is cool too. Our Slack now notifies the company of people on holiday through timetastic integration to remind them X won't be in the morning or Y is on holiday, which saves confusion or having to communicate ourselves. It makes it really easy for us to communicate with staff about holiday and any other anomaly days we organise. Pros Generally it just keeps the organisation of something that's important to staff but not necessarily always on the top of our priority list as management really simple so we can keep on top of it and stay organised whilst they stay satisfied. Cons There's not anything I dislike about it, it does exactly what it says on the tin and we don't need it for anything massively complicated, we are not a huge company. Review Source PL Paul L. Operations Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Timetastic - Streamlining Leave Management with Ease" April 1, 2024 5.0 Timetastic excels in simplifying leave management processes with its intuitive interface, flexibility, integration capabilities, and powerful analytics tools. Whether you're a small business or a large corporation, Timetastic proves to be a reliable solution for streamlining leave management with ease. Pros One of the most commendable aspects of Timetastic is its user-friendly interface, which ensures a seamless experience for users at every level. Cons I don't have any issues with timetastic at all, the only thing that stops me using it more is my own time restraints. Review Source AB Alexander B. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Happy with Timetastic" March 22, 2024 5.0 Really happy using Timetastic, it does exactly what we need it to do for our company. Very clear interface and excellent features. Pros Very clear interface Very easy for everyone to use Local public holiday database very useful Birthday and Work Anniversary function helpful Not too expensive per user Good system for keeping historic records Cons Nothing comes to mind, it does what we need it to do in a very clear way Review Source RS Rod S. Senior Recruiter Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent HR and Management Tool" October 24, 2023 5.0 A pleasure to load, use and share info on our team. Can see at a glance when to schedule events. Pros Easy, visual, colour coded and comprehensive tracker of any time taken off on leave or sick or working from home Cons The half days would be better diagonal and therefore easier to see. Could do with hour by hour time off logging. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director & Designer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timetastic @Indulge" September 18, 2018 4.0 We really enjoy using Timetastic because it is a cost effective way to simply manage staff leave. The auto roll overs and approval process make the product great value for money. Pros All of our staff use the system and it's features on a daily basis. We use the platform in our weekly priorities meeting to explain who has leave this week and any upcoming leave. Half of the team is based in Guernsey so we have utilised the custom holiday feature because in Guernsey we have a Liberation Day on May 9th, which is different to the UK. Cons In an ideal world our team leave app would also tie into our scheduling app, which is Harvest Forecast. So there is extra duplication of time to set up holiday in Harvest once it has been approved in Timetastic. Review Source KG Katie G. Human Resource Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good System" March 28, 2024 5.0 Pros I like the ease of being easier able to view staff holidays Cons I don't like the data download report and it does not show historic days booked off. I have to take a photo of screen before deleting old employees for ease. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An easy to use and lightweight tool for our HR toolbox " September 18, 2018 5.0 I use it pretty much daily and have recommended it to other small business owners who were looking for a better way to keep on top of staff holidays and sickness. Pros It's really simple to use both from a management point of view, and for individuals arranging holidays and logging sickness etc. Most importantly, it feels really lightweight and fast for everything and there isn't any unnecessary bloat getting in the way of just getting the job done. Cons If I was picky, the reporting could be slightly more extensive but I'm really clutching at straws to fill out this required input box. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Software" September 18, 2018 5.0 We have used Timetastic for quite a few years now, during its time as a BETA site in a paid for site. The guys at Timetastic respond quickly to any issues and took on board my comments during the Beta phase making changes as they could. We have had very few issues since the site became paid for and overall find the site excellent and great value for money. Pros The ease of use and clear display. It does exactly what I need it to do. Cons There were a few things in the early days, but these were improved and now the software works as I would like it to. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timetastic Review" September 18, 2018 5.0 This is a quick and easy solution to register leave with having to allocate a person to administer the holiday chart. Pros The ease of use, setting up quickly and the ability to approve leave on the move. Cons You cannot fast forward to a date in the future, you have to scroll through each month. Also it would be nice to be able to edit a calendar entry rather than cancel it and re input. An example is adding the reason for the leave. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Operations Coordinator Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Remote Company Using Timetastic" September 18, 2018 5.0 It was great to use when we were still a small team (up to 25 or so). It's an excellent product for small teams but not ideal for bigger teams. Having said this, we still haven't found a product that is similar to Timetastic (in terms of ease of use) but better for bigger teams. Pros It's really easy and simple to use, both as a user and as an admin. Cons Tracking the balance of more than 1 type of leave is not optional. You can only track the remaining balance for any 1 type of leave at a time. (You can mark leave as sick leave, vacation leave, etc... but you can only view the balance of 1 leave. In order to find how many days of sick leave were taken by your employees during the year you will have to do this manually by downloading the report and going through it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Engineer Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Timetastic" September 18, 2018 5.0 Timetastic has taken away the paper trail for our office manager, we can easily book leave and have department managers sign this off, we can easily see a picture of who's off and integrate this into our Slack application. Definitely a must have tool. Pros Easy to use Replaced our paper based solution Integrates with Slack so we can update the team on who is on leave automatically Flexibility to schedule leave, appointment etc.. for different time slots Has an App Cons App is very good but doesn't have the full features of the web version Review Source Paul F. Business Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What is not to like" September 18, 2018 5.0 Totally fits the bill and does everything we need Pros This product easily fulfils the task. It is easy to use and administer and provides us with the staffing flexibility we need in our business. Easy to add in different types of holiday and part time working Cons To be honest we have been using this for ages and not found any issue yet Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ShopGo / Lubna" September 19, 2018 4.0 Overall it's good, we like it.. but we think more functions should start being added soon before we start needing more and thinking of moving to others Pros It's easy, it's SAAS, I can upgrade downgrade immediate, it's connected to our gmails so it's smooth Cons it just needs to start having more functionality- HR functionalities, reminders on birthdays Review Source Kyle M. Co-Founder, CEO Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple to use, integrates seemlessly with Google accounts and Slack" September 18, 2018 5.0 Great experience, solved our business need without any issue. Time out of office with approvals is something totally solved, it’s never something we have to think about. Pros Fit our needs exactly, and integrated well with our existing setup. Instant adoption with employees since it’s so easy to use. Cons It didn’t support real well our international employees that have different leave policies. We got it working but have to do some additional tracking in a spreadsheet outside the app. Review Source Lewis W. Business Operations Manager Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing" September 18, 2018 5.0 Fantastic - really helped our business. Open to suggestions. Quick and responsive support. Cost effective. Pros Helps our team Organisationally System is flawless, really simple to use, no one has an issue Departments are clear Cons I really like Timetastic, I feel there is nothing negative about the software. Review Source Ben M. Operations Director Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic product" September 18, 2018 5.0 I have actually passed on the TimeTastic platform to a couple of other businesses to use. I know that All Points North did integrate their holiday system with TT. They too think its a great platform. Pros Easy to use. Easy to create a new account. Calculates the pro-rata holiday entitlement which is great for people starting mid-year. Cons I didn't manage to get the Google integration working - seemed a little complex and was annoying how it created a new user every time. Review Source Similar Products Featured
