Systems Consultant Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ultra Customized Workforce Management for On-Demand Staffing" June 1, 2020 5.0 The available customization options are great! Very few items cannot be changed (as they would affect all clients who use the software.) Overall, it is a fantastic software that allows transparency between the staffing agency, clients and crew members as all roles have access to the system with customized permissions. This is the perfect solution for any company that manages a lot of gig workers across the country! Pros Software is easy to ease. Support is very helpful and responds quickly. There is an extensive knowledgebase available to help crew members, clients, and admins learn to use the system. It is a complete staffing solution software that includes ATS functions, scheduling, time & attendance, and client billing with a growing list of integrations to other systems for payroll and accounting. Communication with in-field crew members is significantly enhanced as message notifications are be received by email, SMS, and app push notifications. Crew members are able to easily view all shifts available near them, show interest, and receive scheduled shifts with details. NextCrew is great for companies with many locations and allows crew members the flexibility to have multiple, email addresses, phone numbers, and even physical home addresses. This is ideal for workers who live in more than one location or like to travel frequently. One of the best features of NextCrew is the clock in & out via the mobile app which includes a local timestamp and geolocation as well as a photo of the crew member! Cons The software lacked a robust reporting and analytics dashboard for daily key business metrics. Also, there is not a very user-friendly way to group shifts together that you want to assign to the same person. However, I know these items are currently on the roadmap for future development.

They are always innovating and we would not be able to operate without it. Excited to see what they have in store for the years to come! Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] are great people to work with. They take our many suggestions and make them come to life. Personal service at its best! Cons Nextcrew is overall a great product. When issues or needed updates arise- they either fix them or let us know what we need to do different. Switched from [Nowsta](https://www.capterra.com/p/172778/Nowsta/) Nextcrew is better. Nowsta promises a lot, but can not do what Nextcrew does. Review Source MZ Max Z.

Pros I like how flexible the customer service is, I get solutions to my problems almost immediately. I enjoy the custom reports we can pull from NextCrew Cons The 2.0 update is confusing, the nesting menus make it difficult to see information at a glance, and the layout of Legacy is much more user friendly.

Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best system with automation, innovative technology and features that are customizable" November 12, 2020 5.0 Excellent. With any new system there is a period of learning and developing. NextCrew was there every step of the way to ensure that our roll out went as smoothly as possible. We worked through the issues and developed solutions. Within a few months our processes were running smoothly. Pros NextCrew continually upgrades the system’s processes and features. They listen to each client’s specific needs and provide new features available to handle those needs. They also have tech support that responds quickly to handle any issues. The crew member app is wonderful! Our staff love using it and enjoy having more information at their fingertips. Cons There is room to grow on the sales/client acquisition side. There is limited ways to communicate information to your client or leads that does not involve copy and pasting from the system. I know that NextCrew is looking into developing this.

Most of the assignments are for just one day. So staffing needs to be dynamic enough to follow that type of flow. Additionally the crew/staff app is exceptional. The crew/staff can communicate with us almost entirely through their app. The app also geo locates them and allows them to clock in when they are on location. Switched from [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) NextCrew is designed for a service based industry with clients and crew/staff. Salesforce is designed for product based companies. The cost of developing our system in Salesforce was starting to become too much and we still did not all the functions we needed. NextCrew had the functions including a well developed app for crew/staff. While we lost our sales/lead process, we gained huge advances in our scheduling and crew/staff communication. Totally worth it. Review Source KM Kevin M. Sr. Operations Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Empower Your Team" December 22, 2021 5.0 Overall, our experience has been great. It has helped us to continue in adapting to changing business landscape and keeping up with trends. Improves the ease of finding temporary work for our workforce and lightens some burden from our internal teams. Pros The integration with our existing business and model was as simple as it could have been. With any implementation, there are hiccups and road-blocks to overcome, what stands out here was the collaborative effort and teamwork offered by NextCrew's team. To talk about the software specifically, the amount of "control" we had as users over site configurations and permissions was impressive. Additionally, the in app messaging and notification system is a big value add. Cons The UI/UX could be improved, some pieces are not as intuitive as they could be or take too many clicks.

President Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nextcrew- Always innovating" March 23, 2020 5.0 Nextcrew has given me a chance to grow exponentially. The user friendly database has made it possible for our company to keep up with client's ever changing needs. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and my contact rep are ALWAYS available to assist. There has not been 1 issue that we haven't been able to collaborate with their team to resolve. The Hospitality business is already an ever changing entity and it is very reassuring that my "engine" is run by professionals who are there to help. Pros Nextcrew is always improving the app feature. 90% of our staff utilize the app so this has been an immense help. The ease of signing in/out at events has been a game changer. In our business it's extremely important to track hours. Nextcrew makes this task very routine. They've also given us a very efficient way of tracking day to day and year to year data. We constantly utilize the information in the "reports" section to project clients needs and pinpoint hot points. This enables us to increase/decrease staff levels as needed. Cons The only minor criticism would be that because they are upgrading so often I really can't keep up with what they've done at times. It's more a criticism of my team not following up after a new roll-out. Reason for choosing NextCrew I chose Nextcrew because \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has always been there to help companies just starting out. I knew him from my previous company when he was just getting started and he hasn't missed a step. I don't speak with him as much anymore but he has a whole team that is readily available at any moment. My rep-\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been invaluable to our teams success! Review Source PD Precious D. Operations Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Vital To Our Transition" July 13, 2021 4.0 Pros We looked at other staffing software solutions before finally deciding on Next Crew. We liked that it was a clean UI, the screens were not very busy, and there were not a lot of buttons which could be overwhelming for common users. We were going through a merger when we decided to get a staffing software solution and different people were coming from different technological backgrounds, or even none at all, and so ease of use was high on our priority list. The implementation team was very helpful and customized the product to suit our industry terminologies and our quite unique business model. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], their \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], was, and continues to be, hands on with our needs, assisting us as much as he can. He embodies how technology should be a solution and not a detriment to make work easier and more efficient, and dislikes when he hears us implementing a workaround. Cons It's a relatively "young" system but holds so much potential. We hoped the dashboard and KPIs reporting would be better. Staff reviewing their timesheets could be improved as well.

Account Coordinator Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NextCrew Review" March 5, 2020 4.0 Overall NextCrew is fantastic. It has ease of use and customer support is usually very timely, this can vary just like with any software support and the magnitude of the issue needing to be solved. Pros The NextCrew software is very easy to use, and has fantastic integrations for what our company uses it for, which is staffing, recruiting and booking jobs throughout the United States. I can't speak to the payroll and invoice side of things, but the report system is great for pulling reports to excel to review and evaluate. I would say there can definitely be more features added, but I know that NextCrew is working on optimizations and implementing new features often. Cons There are some features that are not used by my company that we would prefer to be disabled and not visible. Review Source GW Gina W. Operations Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "NextCrew for Temp Workers" December 20, 2021 5.0 The experience thus far has been nothing short of incredible. The implementation worked very smoothly, the team we work with, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] are all so wonderful, beyond helpful, and always make sure we have what we need! Pros Everything! This software has been incredibly useful for not only our temp staff but internally. There are so many useful features, tools, and reports and if we need anything, we have such an amazing team at NextCrew who works with us to make it happen! Cons N/A - at the moment there is nothing worth noting here because we have everything we need! Reason for choosing NextCrew It was powerful and user friendly with a lot more admin and customizable features Review Source EL Erik L. VP of Operations Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game changer for labor and job management" August 16, 2020 5.0 We have just recently joined up with NextCrew and their support has been great. They held our hand through training and onboarding, have been very attentive to our needs and it genuinely feels like they are interested in hearing about ways they can improve the experience and feature set. Pros The NextCrew platform is powerful out of the gate but the team will work with you to customize the experience for your needs as well. The core functionality is stable and simple but you are able to change dozens of configurations yourself via the admin console and if there is something you can't change, they can probably do it for you. Powerful and flexible is a huge plus for us. Cons The UI is a bit challenging sometimes and not always perfectly intuitive. Review Source CD Chris D. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ACM NextCrew Review" June 7, 2020 4.0 The product and support are excellent. NextCrew has helped transform our business. It has provided the framework for considerable growth and productivity improvements. Pros The product is easy to use, integrated well with our team and existing business processes. The Ability to customize where necessary is very positive and the support is excellent. The NextCrew support team is always accessible, responsive, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Cons Sometimes the customization we built in has to be re-worked after product updates are made. A roadmap of future improvements and priorities that is accessible to clients would be helpful so we understand what is coming and what the priorities are. Review Source JG Jonathan G. CEO Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Relieve Staffing review of NextCrew" September 9, 2022 5.0 Working with the NextCrew team has been a blessing for our organization. As a relatively young company we are lucky to be experiencing a very rapid growth curve and the NextCrew team has been an invaluable resource for us. With NextCrew you are not only buying a software application, you are adding true business consultants to your team. Pros The ability to communicate easily with staff, create and approve shifts and invoice in a very timely fashion. Cons Luckily I have not encountered many cons to the product. Review Source JE Jade E. President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Staffing Platform" March 10, 2020 5.0 NextCrew allows us to staff jobs quickly and streamline our internal process. The employee app makes it easy to communicate at scale. We are staffing more jobs with better talent thanks to the NextCrew platform. Pros Great tool to offer jobs and book staff. NextCrew lets us deliver real time information the moment an employee is booked on assignment. Cons Messaging is a challenge if the employee does not give the app full permission on their phone.

Sr. Healthcare Rwcruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficient Software " February 28, 2020 5.0 Being able to quickly fill many of our daily openings to meet the needs of our clients. Also, the NextCrew customer service is First Class!! Pros Efficient and accurate way to track schedules and run reports. I am also able to reach hundreds of staff with one notification and they are able to quickly respond. Cons Working with NextCrew after the Live date took a bit of getting used to. However, the team worked quickly with us to customize and tweak what was needed. Review Source AH Alison H. COO Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Extremely flexible support team" June 13, 2020 5.0 Pros Whatever we think of that we need to do for our business, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and the team makes it happen. They are quick to respond and really know what it means to craft a program that companies can leverage to meet ever-changing demands. Cons A military time clock should be used. The 12 hour time clock is not always straightforward for scheduling overnight shifts. Review Source MH Michael H. Dir of Finance Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "NextCrew Review" May 6, 2020 5.0 Pros Easy to use and navigate. Multi-purpose service that integrates HR, onboarding, scheduling, time/attendance. Reports can be built to work around our day-to-day business. Cons I don't have any cons right now. We would just like to form the integration with our payroll system which is currently in the works. Review Source DM Danylo M. Owner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product with stellar customer support" April 10, 2020 5.0 Pros Ease of scheduling for larger events Push messages and notifications Cons Invoicing feature- the final invoice layout wasn't desirable compared to Quickbooks Reason for choosing NextCrew The intro done by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was fantastic and comprehensive.
