### Most mentioned pros

- Employee Scheduling can be complex to set-up, on-board and train users to use, but the Team at TimeForge knows retail, designed the system for retail users to be easy to use and the schedules are very accurate. When I compared the features, functions, on-boarding Support and cost...
- We slowly added more functionality to the system while training managers.
- The interface is easy to use and the app fits in with the evolution of scheduling.

### Most mentioned cons

- Teams remark on the interface, otherwise uncluttered, sometimes appearing clumsy in doing large-scale edits or complex scheduling, sometimes taking a while to update shift changes in active departments.
- It is not that I don't like TimeForge; compared to the previous platform that I used, TimeForge does not have a free job ad account or integration.
- There is no API yet (it is coming) so makes integration a little clunky.

### Best Affordable Plans

- Reviewer: Ximena G.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Consumer Goods
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: June 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

My overall experience was simple and easy. The representative was super friendly and didn't mind all the questions I had regarding the program.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I appreciated how quickly we received our equipment in order to start our implementation process. We also had swift replies on our emails, and they found affordable solutions for my needs, such as scheduling, payroll, and having a clock in system.

#### Cons

I disliked how often we had to have meetings, I think it's easier for me to set one or two days aside to cover the whole app, instead of short meetings where I have to assist once a week as someone with a lot on their plate.

#### Reasons for choosing TimeForge

Too expensive and less updated look and features.

#### Vendor response

Thanks so much for the feedback, Ximena! We're glad to hear you had an easy implementation experience. I've passed your notes on to the team so we can improve our meeting cadence in the future for customers like you.

It has made us more organized and efficient and helped us to keep in touch with our employees easily.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

Employees can see their schedule and request time off and paid time off from their app. Managers have employee contact info at their fingertips without seeing other sensitive info. Exports hours easily to our payroll provider. Automatically tracks, deducts, and reloads PTO on employee's anniversary date by employee classification.

#### Cons

I would like the fields to be wider in employee information tab so I can see all the info better.

Far more features and PTO tracking capabilities. Ability to use any payroll provider I want so if I choose to switch payroll providers, my employees don't even notice, they continue to use Timeforge.

### Flight 509 Review of TimeForge

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Rick A.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Entertainment
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: March 2024

See above. It's just a great company to work with.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The representative assigned to assist us with implementation was amazing. He was attentive to our needs and pleasant to work with. He always had an answer for us promptly. We currently have a number of vendors that we are working with, and TimeForge is by far the best. The interface is easy to use and the app fits in with the evolution of scheduling. It does not require a great deal of explanation and is well received. The option to swap shifts is very convenient.

#### Cons

No integration with our sales program, so some options are rendered useless. No Quickbooks export file

#### Reasons for switching to TimeForge

Features of Time Forge were superior to most products.

#### Vendor response

Thank you so much for leaving us a review, Rick! We're humbled by the praise and so pleased we were able to exceed your expectations during implementation. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do for you going forward - when you win, we win. :)

- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months

Overall, our experience has been very good. We are still working on utilizing and implementing the more advanced features of TimeForge and look forward to benefits they will bring.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

TimeForge has an abundant feature set and there is a solution for pretty much any labor management issue we face. They also have an API that has been extremely helpful. The support team at TimeForge is top notch and readily available to assist with any problems we face. They also have multiple methods of clocking in and out, which I underrated at first. During implementation, we decided to use the computer timeclock at one location. Setting it up and using it was very easy.

#### Cons

Not necessarily a con, but sometimes the customizability can be a little overwhelming. The level of customizability is a pro, it can just take a little bit to get a full understanding.

#### Vendor response

Thanks so much for the detailed review, Clay! We get that the customization can be a little overwhelming at times and will see what we can do to make the process smoother for multi-location businesses. Glad to hear that the experience has been very good overall!

### Much needed system to manage employees & payroll in today's business world

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Ronni C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Retail
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: December 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

The process has taken several months to complete, but it was needed to understand all the steps and to not overwhelm the managers and the employees.....and myself honestly. I had weekly web meetings with [sensitive content hidden] and he was great. We started with just having the employees get accustomed to the new time clock. For a few weeks they clocked into the old time clocks and the new fingerprint based clocks from TimeForge. We slowly added more functionality to the system while training managers. Managers now have more information at their fingertips in order to make the best decisions for the business based on historic and real time data. It cuts the time down needed to do the mundane tasks that were taking up too much time in the past. Anytime we had questions or asked if the system could do a specific function, [sensitive content hidden] had an answer and showed us how to access it. There are so many reports and functions available to us now. We can make real time decisions to make the best use of our time and labor hours.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

TimeForge allows us to manage our scheduling, employee attendance, employee requests off, real time labor percentages, and sales projections all in one system. Our manager time needed to complete all of this is being reduced as the managers become more comfortable and knowledgeable with the system. We are coming from an old school time clock system where employees used time cards to punch in and out. The managers then had to put all of the times, some of which would need correction or more explanation to get the correct time, into an excel spreadsheet which was emailed to me so payroll could be completed. Scheduling was either handwritten or done on an excel spreadsheet every week. With TimeForge, everything can be monitored in real time. Since it's web based, administrators can access each location and work in the system and pull payroll independently of manager assistance. The employees also have access to a phone app where they can access their weekly schedule, request time off, and request a shift swap (with manager approval).

#### Cons

Initially, what I was worried about was the cost. While we did have a discount because we are members of Associated Wholesale Grocers, being an independent grocer in rural areas makes any extra costs a deterrent as an owner. However, once I completed the training process with [sensitive content hidden] (who was wonderful) and the managers were trained, we will pay for the service with the savings in my and the managers' time and with the increased real time data available to use labor hours when they are actually needed. What started out as a "con" has turned into a "pro" with measurable savings.

#### Vendor response

Ronni - thank you so much for your very detailed review! We're humbled by the praise, and we're very glad that our product and team have exceeded your expectations, especially when it comes to ROI. We understand that adopting a new labor management technology can be a big change. Thank you for trusting our business with such a major step, and if there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to let us know!

#### Reasons for switching to TimeForge

#### Vendor response

Thanks so much for your feedback, Tommy! We're humbled by your praise, and we appreciate your letting us know about your difficulties with the timeclock. We usually find that a couple of people per location have fingertips that are too callused or smooth to be understood by a scanner, but there are a few things we can do to help alleviate that and make it easier for employees to clock in/out. I've let our support team know, so that they can reach out with some options for you. Regarding the break punch, if you're using the Biopad, we recently made some improvements and fixes that might address your issue. Our timeclock guru will reach out ASAP to make sure your device has been updated to the latest version and to get you any other support you need to make sure you have the smoothest experience possible. If you have any other thoughts on what we can do to improve our software, we'd love to hear them at support@timeforge.com. Thanks again!

Overall experience with TimeForge has been fantastic, I can't say enough about the team. They readily jump in to help with any issues we have and overall made this a very smooth transition. This was a drastic change for our company to say the least and they really worked to make it seamless.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The integration of the program was excellent. I really enjoy the ability to view each store easily as a snapshot, the reporting functions are incredibly helpful, and I love that we can focus on labor tracking and scheduling.

#### Cons

This was a big integration for our company, and we were able to combine a few platforms which was great. The issue with combining multiple platforms is that sometimes you lose features that you enjoyed. We have a few areas that are lacking as we moved from a LMS to an HRIS system which changed the amount of interaction on the hiring side. We also lost a few of our main reporting functions for new hires. The TimeForge team has been extremely helpful though in working to find solutions.

#### Reasons for choosing TimeForge

We chose TImeForge because we felt it was the most up to date product, within our budgeting needs, and had all the features we needed. The team at TimeForge was a great bonus in utilizing the project. We had a tight deadline and they made it happen on time.

#### Reasons for switching to TimeForge

We were looking for a system that was all in one that could help with labor predictions, scheduling, and optimization for our operations team and our human resources departement.

#### Vendor response

Thank you so much for leaving us such a detailed and thoughtful review, Melissa! We're humbled by your praise, and it's been an absolute pleasure serving you during your big transition. We'll keep doing our best to make sure you always have a great experience with TimeForge!

We could not have had a better implementation team! As we were a startup, opening a Kitchen & Market mid pandemic, we had a lot of ground to cover. We are so grateful to have [SENSITIVE CONTENT] on our side leading the charge with our implementation. They are team players and go above and beyond to ensure for seamless experience.

### Time Forge Review

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Joe S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Retail

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: August 2021
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

WE were wasting a ton of money on employees taking longer than scheduled breaks. Also we did not have a system to track PTO efficiently and with Time Forge we have that in place now.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The Program is very easy to use and was very easy to roll out. There was nothing complicated about program at all. IF three were questions the support staff was always willing to do anything needed to resolve any issue that may arise.

#### Cons

There was only one feature that could be better and that was the ability slid schedules on a schedule bar to accept the changes that needed to be made on a schedule. Everything else works GREAT!

#### Reasons for choosing TimeForge

The Company has a Great support staff and the owners of the company are involved in the day to day operation of the company and really cares about all of their customers.

#### Reasons for switching to TimeForge

IT was a huge cost savings and the ability to do thousand more things than we were able to do with ATD.

#### Vendor response

Joe - thank you for the kind words! We appreciate your feedback on the scheduling slider - have you seen the new slide-around-shift tool? We've asked your team lead to contact you and walk you through how to use it - we think it's a game-changer (but we're pretty biased!) We'd love your feedback to see if it does what you need. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to support@timeforge.com with any suggestions on how we can continue to improve our platform. Thanks again!
