SEW - Fantastic, easy-to-use scheduling program for Retail stores

We've been using this product for OVER 10 years. I've tried other products recommended by "corporate", but I've always come back to SEW. The

PROS

I love how you can create a "master" schedule and then modify that to accomodate for time-off requests. Daytypes are great for coding "training", "requests" "vacation" "anniversary" "birthdays" "meetings" "special Events", etc.Budgeting is super easy with instant access to wage cost and hours per day/week.Easy to print a weekly schedule for all employees.Color-coded bar graphs make it easy to confirm we've got the RIGHT positions filled (ex. Cashier, Manager, Sales, Paint, Receiving, etc.) at all times.

CONS

We want to include COST for vacations (and PTO) without it affecting hourly line-graph/coverage.We have a work around to input 8 hours (or whatever time) from midnight to 8 am so we know true COST per day week. (We don't open until 8am so this allows us to see our coverage for the day)

Easy to use out of the box

SEW is aiding us in producing accurate rotas and a user friendly fashion. It is adaptable to our business and I can see how lots of other sectors could utilize it.

PROS

Construction of a rota is the most user friendly method we have found on the market. We recently trialed a new system to replace SEW but we ended returning to SEW within 2 weeks, purely down to the ease of rota construction and managing employees etc.

CONS

I feel improvements can be made when it comes to the productivity screens, it is a big improvement on 3.5 but still a bit clunky and not quite as intuitive as it could be. I'd be happy to work this thru with someone on a virtual session.Some work could be done on the email functionality or possibly a secure webspace for the teams to access their schedules. But does work as intended so not a grumble.

Reason for choosing Scheduling Employees

The construction of a rota was fiddly at best, overly complex at worst. It took weeks of training managers to find it was just not user friendly, although we did like the budgeting side of S4Labour.SEW we have found we can pick up and use it off the shelf with a very small learning curve.

Freelancer/Contractors ideal time tracker

It's solved a complicated problem being contracted out to do services that require reporting of different types of work during the week.

PROS

Working an hour or two here and another 30 min or 3 hours in the evening this is the only way I've found to easily record and report hours per week per job with confidence that it's accurate.

CONS

It really needs to be web based so I can access it from more than just my PC. I've dealt with a couple data wipe outs because of computer failures without being able to restore backups.

Reason for choosing Scheduling Employees

The ability to drag the bar of time was the key functionality I couldn't find elsewhere. Also not having to pay a monthly/yearly fee was appealing even though the cost was high.

Great

Except for crashes or having to reinstall randomly to use software it has been a great asset.

PROS

Makes it easy and quick to make schedules for all of our hourly employees. Having the times showing graphically as bars make it quick to check coverage. Printing of schedule is easy.

CONS

Would be nice if it was online and could be remotely accessed. No automatic updating.

Reason for choosing Scheduling Employees

Price. Ease of use.

Reasons for switching to Scheduling Employees

Just easier to use than excel or hand written schedules

easy to learn important with high tirnover rates

PROS

This program is very easy to learn and teach to others

CONS

This product is difficult to install in the windows 10+ environment. Also, it is ridiculous to have to shut down the punch every time someone needs to make/adjust/change the schedule. Please get this fixed.

Reason for choosing Scheduling Employees

Easy learning curve

Reasons for switching to Scheduling Employees

We had to upgrade PC's to windows 10.
