"A Uniquely Centralized Way to Schedule"

Some color/personalization setting contols would be nice.

What problems is MakeShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centralizing the communication between our sales and front desk staffing. We know who is and isnt coming in on what days.

"Easy to use Easy to understand"

What do you like best about MakeShift?

Its so easy to use, i like how as soon as the schedule is published it sends out a notification for those with the notifications turned on. The copy last weeks schedule function is amazing! Being able to automatically import your employees through adp and not have to manually type in all their information. Everything about makeshift is just very user friendly and i enjoy using it!

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

One thing i dislike about makeshift is the scheduling portion on my screen on the desktop is really small and i would rather it be bigger even if it removes acess to the side tabs while on that screen!

What problems is MakeShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Budgeting dont have to manually calculate how many hours or $$ im over or under budget

"RAINN review"

What do you like best about MakeShift?

Makeshift allows you to copy and paste schedules. Week by week, which is helpful. It's easy to create pay codes and create individual profiles per person. Easy to log in and also allows users to edit the time stamp should issues arise.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

RAINN supports 24/7 services. It can be not easy to schedule those working varying shifts month to month. It may be helpful if makeshift could separate the groups of shifts available by the shift hours. 11pm-7am, 7am-3pm, 3-11pm etc. Maybe easy visuals for reporting could also be helpful.

What problems is MakeShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's easy to find the support specialist on shift and to delete or edit the shift as needed. Makeshift also helps with adding up the hours completed by month and calculate how much is spent by month.
