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 VR Verified Reviewer Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, Easy to deploy, Easy to manage" April 2, 2024 5.0 Strong experience. Can't fault it. Never fails, easy to use. Simple yet effective. Pros Timetastic is a great piece of software for any company. The ease of use and most importantly the visibility / clarity is second to none in terms of other products I've seen. Cons Not a lot, it does what it says. Perhaps better reporting would be beneficial. It's annoying that we have a system for this and a second system for HR management. Would be better if we had this as an all in one. Long terms we'd move away from timetastic once we get something that integrates both. Reason for choosing Timetastic Simple to use and at a reasonable price. Review Source AS Alistair S. General Manager Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A perfect tool for SMB's to manage their absence calendars" September 18, 2018 5.0 By using Timetastic, we have reduced the chore of recording absences in multiple places from a six stage process down to two. At the same time we have been able to provide staff with access to the system via the app which allows them to see an overall picture of holiday requirements within the company on a 24/7 basis so they can make decisions about whether or not they will be able to book time off in a particular period.. Pros Timetastic gives you an extremely quick and simple way to manage all kinds of staff absences from holidays to sickness days and is flexible enough to be able to cover most scenarios within a business. In a world where some software is priced at a level where small businesses cannot even contemplate using it, Timetastic provides an excellent solution at an excellent per user price, and all without trying to lock you in to a restrictive contract term. Everything about the program is well designed and user friendly - staff love the ability to be able to request holidays at any time 24/7 using the app. Cons There is not a lot to dislike about Timetastic, it does what it says on the tin. I could do with a couple of small features adding but they are just particular quirks to the way we work and may not be needed by everyone. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Intern Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Timetastic: It's Fantastic" July 23, 2019 5.0 In the end I'm very satisfied with Timetastic. It allowed me to let my employer know when I wanted to work and when I didn't, all without having to leave my desk. As a freelancer, it was a very beneficial addition to my library. Pros Timetastic is a software that lets you keep track of employee hours that they have worked or have yet to work. It contains a calendar with said hours, and offers notifications to let you know when someone is supposed to be on schedule (it also lets you plug in desired vacation times, which isn't something I've seen in other time-tracking apps). On the off chance that the boss isn't available for a period of time, someone else can be put in charge of the team (on the app) so that they can approve the hours as you plug them in. This allows everyone to keep working their desired hours, even when the higher-ups are out of town. Finally, despite its origin in Manchester, Timetastic can be used in the US, which is always a plus. Cons It did seem to run a bit slow on my phone, but I'm also using an iPhone 5s, which is somewhat outdated. Review Source rW richard W. MD Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use system" March 22, 2024 5.0 Pros Simple and easy to use product, which manages absence and sick perfectly for us Cons It is not a fully blown HR product, so lacks some more advanced features. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Client Engagement Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timetastic Review" September 21, 2018 5.0 As I outlined above, it works brilliantly for the size of team we have. It give us a simple way to request annual leave, sick days and working from home days. It has cut down the level of administration required for such a process. Previously we were using email/instant messenger requests and Google calendar for tracking. This was a messy approach and quite time consuming - TT has solved this problem for us. Pros I have been using timetastic for approx. 3 years and it is very easy to use. It is quick to set up and gives you enough flexibility for different teams and approvers. Cons I have never had any trouble with Timetastic - it works brilliantly for the size of team we have. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Front-end Developer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Delightfully Simple" September 19, 2018 5.0 Pros I am a huge fan of products that focus their features, but do those things very well. Timetastic is excellent at keeping track of our team's holiday time and showing the team who will be out on any given day. I appreciate how it lets me sort people by teams and set up custom national holidays for people who work in different countries. It also helps us award more time based on tenure with its easy start day tracking. We really recommend it! Cons I don't have many cons. I wish I would have found it sooner! Review Source GS Gavin S. Technical Operations Director Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timetastic - Simple to use annual leave planned and a refreshing changes to SaaS web applications" September 19, 2018 5.0 Buying Timetastic was a win/win for us. It does the job of annual leave booking fantastically well, and all our staff love it because it is instant and they can see/book leave on their phones. It has never been down and it is always lightning quick. At the price this is, it's an absolute no brainer. Pros \- It works consistently, quickly and intuitive and easy to use - The wall chart makes it really easy to see where people are in/out of the office - Automatically detect clashes and show them when leave is being requested / approved - Using the mobile apps, leave requests can be approved on the go so even when staff are outside of the office they can have approvals for time off done quickly - Break down your staff into individual teams and have a set manager to approve - Add custom leave types - Tie into your calendar on phone Cons I haven't found any - the software does everything that it says it does, and it does it well. I would love for this company to expand more into scheduling type applications for scheduling on-site visits for us to clients etc. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

What concerns the regular, 1 geo location team management, i think its pretty flawless.. Pros The simplicity, users pick it up very easily. Its intuitive, so no need for special training whatsoever. Cons Not sure, seems pretty ideal. Hope they won't over-complicate with too many functions. Review Source PL Paul L.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
