ShedWool Reviews
Pros
Shedwool is a great platform with a few limitations. Most of all it's a great deal.
What I like most about this software is that it's free first of all, it is easy to make my schedule and easy to send to employees.
I love the fact that I had to pay nothing at all to use this app. It was an easy set up and my employees are very happy.
I like the ease of scheduling and notifying my staff. I also like the ability to leave shifts open for employees to choose.
Cons
Can't view more than one week at a time and doesn't have a function where employees can block out time off in advance of scheduling.
The inability to send messages via text. I have millennial age employees who rarely look at their email accounts.
For some of our employees they struggle with new tech.
The ads are bothersome but not horrible. Honestly can't think of much else that is problematic.
"Time saver timesaver"
Overall: Save time consistently.
Pros: It's simple, to the point, and quick. Time preferences and time off requests are easy. Everything works seamlessly. Shift blocks are super customizable. All of my employees have enjoyed having the schedule close at hand.
Cons: The ads are bothersome but not horrible. Honestly can't think of much else that is problematic. Cons are not something you think about while using Shedwool!
Vendor Response
"A truly free app that does what it is supposed to do!"
Pros: Ability for personnel to manage time and shifts by SHEDDING and picking up shifts with manager approval on the fly
Cons: Wish I could manage and export data to spreadsheet software like Excel or Googlesheets. Also wish we could clock in and clock out with software
Vendor Response
"Not worth paying foe"
Overall: Was good for scheduling.
Pros: Was ok for a free app for scheduling our employees.
Cons: They decided to start charging a high amount monthly.
"This program helps us use our resources to their full potential"
Pros: Easy to use, very user friendly, instant notifications. This service allows us to utilize our resources to their full potential while minimizing the amount of time we spend scheduling.
Cons: Would like to see shift reminder updates emails and texts as an option going forward, otherwise very happy.
Vendor Response
"Awesome Product "
Overall: The owner is very hands on and friendly, will take time out of his day to help you out.
Pros: Everything, its very easy to use, and they are running updates and adding features all the time.
Cons: NOTHING! Shedwool continues to amaze me every day
