ShedWool Software
ShedWool is a cloud-based shift scheduling solution that helps business across various industry verticals to schedule and manage their employees' shifts and record work hours.
ShedWool offers a drag-and-drop based shift scheduler that allows managers to add shifts and assign appropriate personnel to specific tasks. The solution also enables managers to send invites to a single employee or a group of employees via email or text message. If an employee accepts an invite, that shift is added to an employee's schedule, Invite templates are also available.
Managers can collect and access information like employee availability, allotted hours and time-off requests. Employees and managers can communicate with each other using the solution's chat functionality. ShedWool also offers mobile applications for iOS and Android devices.
Services are offered on a monthly subscription basis that includes support via email and phone.

Shedwool is a great platform with a few limitations. Most of all it's a great deal.
Pros
I appreciate the real-time access and ease of use. Customer support is very good and fast. Team is so responsive- almost unheard of these days.
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

Incredibly easy to use. Revolutionary software to help businesses take their team to the next level.
This will help many businesses from all sizes elevate their productivity and increase their revenue. Best .75 cents a day I ever spent! I could easily pay 5X more and still be happy. Amazing product. Thank you to everyone at ShedWool for being so professionally friendly :)
Pros
They offer the best pricing on the market, customer support makes you feel as if they're literally at an arms reach.
Cons
No voice command yet. that would be awesome. I hope it does happen soon that would really be revolutionary.

Best benefit was not having to print scheduled for employees.
Pros
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.
Cons
What I like least about this software is it seems kind of difficult to do a time off request. That definitely need to be done different.

Pros
The ShedWool software is generally easy to use and is intuitive. The messaging would be greatly enhanced if they could be texted as well as emailed. I also think there needs to be more flexibility in viewing more than one week at a time.
Cons
The inability to send messages via text. I have millennial age employees who rarely look at their email accounts. Also, adding a monthly view of the schedule

Thanks, David! We will be launching the month view soon, and any employee using the mobile app (iOS/Android - so virtually any cell phone) actually gets notifications directly on their app and phone/home screen - so they don't need to check their email, and should get it even easier than a text. Please let us know if this doesn't work, and we'll set up something with texts. Thanks for using ShedWool, and for the review!
(Also, you can put notes directly on their shifts, so they'll see them that way too.)

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.
Cons
Needs an email feature. For some of our employees they struggle with new tech. The ability for them to print their schedule would be very beneficial

Thanks so much, Dakotah! We have the print availability from your computer or web version - it's the printer icon in the bottom right of your screen. This turns the schedule, editable by department, position, week, etc., into a pdf that can be printed, emailed, etc. The message feature also provides your staff with push notification directly to their phones.
We'd love to hear more about the email feature you'd like to see, and will be happy to build something in for you.
Thanks for the review, and for using ShedWool.

Pros
Was easy to use, I like that people can drop or pick up shifts but a manager has to first approve to have knowledge that someone isn't accruing overtime at a location
Cons
I don't feel it's of any value for price. I could see a one time fee to purchase rights to the program, but once a charge monthly is implemented, we won't be continuing to use.

Thanks for the review, Nikki. We're glad you seem to like it.
Sorry to hear that you don't feel that it's of value for the price we will begin charging. We are keeping a free "lite" version that you're welcome to try, or we're happy to extend you a discount for our premium version, since you've been a valued early user of ours.
We are constantly improving ShedWool and adding features, and are going to begin charging to stay in business and grow our support staff. Saving companies like The Big Clean Laundromat time (which is money!) is our ambition, while hopefully making your employee's lives better too.
Feel free to reach out to us at contactus@shedwool.com with any additional comments, questions, or any way that we can be of assistance.
Thanks again,
ShedWool

Ability for personnel to manage time and shifts by SHEDDING and picking up shifts with manager approval on the fly

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

Thanks so much!
We are launching our premium version very soon, at a small monthly subscription fee, and clock in/out, and import/export are top priorities! We will also maintain a free "lite" version of the app.
Currently you can create .pdfs of the schedule, and filter as needed, if that helps at all.
We'd love to talk more about how we can improve ShedWool for your needs.
Thanks so much for the review. All our best,

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!

Bo, we got rid of the ads a few months ago, based on feedback from users like you. We're so glad that you enjoy the app - we're working hard to make it better and more robust for you and Sunglass World very soon. Thanks for everything, you guys are fantastic! We appreciate you leaving us a review.

Having an App for the employees and myself to view the schedule from anywhere and the ease of using the website to schedule the staff.

Wish there was a generated schedule option. Where you could take the availability of staff and evenly schedule the staff members automatically.

Tara, thanks for the review, and for being a user of ShedWool. We agree that generated schedule option is crucial, and we are working hard to build and ship that feature to you as soon as possible. Thanks for that! We'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

Like I said before ShedWool allows me to do my job rather than spending so much time scheduling my staff. My staff likes the app because they can see when they work and who they will be working with. They can contact others if they need a shift covered. It takes away a lot of pain of having to organize so few or so many employees for ongoing shifts!
Pros
Customer service is excellent. If I ever have a problem it is fixed right away or I'm assured that they are doing everything they can to get it fixed.

Pros
I like the ease of scheduling and notifying my staff. I also like the ability to leave shifts open for employees to choose.
Cons
I wish I could send group messages to my staff. It would also be nice to look back on past schedules because of occasional time card conflicts. A timecard add-on woukd be handy!

Dawn,
Thanks for the review! A timecard add-on is a great idea, and we will work on building that for you. A few new improvements have bridged that gap already. Group messaging is something we've been working on for a while, and we're getting closer to having that ready to ship too! Thanks so much for being users of ShedWool - please let us know if there's ever anything we can do for you!! Best,
ShedWool
