finally scheduling is enjoyable now
scheduling is a big part of my role, and my results depend on it. Soon takes care of a lot of manual processes that are a part of my scheduling work, like tracking availability or event-specific conversations. It freed up a lot of my time and energy for other important work
PROSpleasant intuitive UI, intelligent UX design responsive support team, lets me keep all team communication in one place for my sanity aaa
CONSintegration with payroll but I know a few things in the pipeline, fingers crossed, I am looking forward to the next updates

Perfect for healthcare staff scheduling
We’ve only been using the software for about 3 months. So far it has done what we needed and the employees have been able to adapt to the functions of it.
PROSThe ease of set up and use. Olaf was very helpful when we needed support to make it work for our needs.
CONSThe only thing we would like to see is the option to start work weeks on Sundays as this coincides with payroll.
Reason for choosing Soon
Cost Saw potential in it Olaf was great giving us support in set up and understanding the different functions to suit our needs.

Not user friendly
Me and my collegues arent pleased with Soon. Soon gives us more questions then help. We need a better overview. It would be great if that can be applied.
PROSNothing really nothing ..........................
CONSNo clear overview (I cant see wich collegue is working each day in a clear overview, to much text. I would like to see a clear schedule with colours when available, on vacation and so on) Not user friendly.
Vendor Response
Hi Alyssa, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We've been working hard to process the feedback we got from Renard, Rick and Carla. We hope the latest update already gives you a better overview. I see your point and I'll reach out to you directly with some suggestions that might help to improve the situation for you and your colleagues. If you have more feedback we always love to hear it :)

The best scheduling software by now
I fell in love "soon" with the software and can't think of a better way to manage my team. It's just the smartest and easy-to-use tool for team scheduling and I've tried them all. If the boards could be seen on the same calendar it would be the ultimate software and would never change it in my life.
PROSAs a PM I need to see the schedule of my team day by day and in a quick weekly or monthly overview to assign new tasks and see if we can insert a new big project in the schedule. Me and my team see th sam things with a great look and feel and keep on the same page. Many scheduling softwares lack the possibility of inserting a permit leave or health permit while in soon is very easy to manage, so the calendar keeps track of days in and days off and you can see it all on the same page
CONSThe idea of having different boards is fantastic but as a PM I'd like that on the final calendar all the tasks of the different boards are on the same page. Instead you have a different calendar for every board, so I end up using only one board while it could be useful to segment the projects in different containers
Reason for choosing Soon
Weekly an monthly overview
Reasons for switching to Soon
In Planner you can't see the single teammate calendar, you can't spread the task in different days for the old concept of 'a task starts one day and finishes this day and we work on it every day in between'. It' s just no use for a team calendar

Easy, fun & flexible shift management tool
We are using the tool for a large repacking assignment where we needed a lot of temporary manning to book work hours them selves into shifts we set up together with our 3PL provider. We needed the up and running within a day. After googling “shift planning” and testing some tools, SoonWorks easily met the mark as easy to setup and flexible for shift management. Also, ability to share a link to the job where workers could sign-up themselves, made the process of finding manning/contracting/enough people for shifts fast! For us, we also needed some info between users not be visible/and the SoonWorks team were excellent here! The team was accessible and agile, and took time to understand our business needs and give us tips on relevant functionality we hadn’t tested. We will explore using this in our factories/warehouses in future, I also think that for volunteers drives and so on, the software is very strong as workers can be added easily and book shifts themselves.
PROS- Easy setup, with ability to build on/expand as you go (and great support/tips & tricks as well upon questions) - we were up and running within 24 hours of selecting tool (and speed was crucial for us). - Good visual layout. - Agile development team upon questions/needs of adjustment/development. - min/max setting per shift - self scheduling function - overall value for money
CONS- scrolling within the shift name list could be even smoother - adding a Q&A section/information platform between management/workers would be of value
Reason for choosing Soon
The only product meeting our need at a good enough price, easy to setup without need to involve IT department

A modern and great schedule tool
We used to work with Excel in the past. This was not always accurate and clear. Especially when you grow as a company in the number of employees it is suistainable to switch to another schedule tool. Soon thought about our old procedures and partly implemented them in their software.
PROSSoon has simplified the effort to make a solid and well-organized schedule for LYNX. The different shifts of the various departments are clearly displayed. The ease with which colleagues can view their schedule is a real improvement. Soon is an innovative and collaborative company. The implementation of Soon was therefore self-evident and flawless.
CONSNo negative experiences so far. If something is missing or goes wrong Soon will help you with it.

A clear app to see when you're scheduled in.
I get a clear view when I am scheduled in and if I need a cover for my shift with a few click I can request one. Very handy.
PROSI can see exactly when I need to work and with who. Also a lot of options to see who else is working and the groups they belong to.
CONSI would like to search names when they are scheduled in.
Vendor Response
Hey there, thanks for leaving a review! There are currently 2 ways to search people by name. One is entering the name as text in the search box, the other is by selecting a person in the 'people' filter, this allows you to filter and select multiple people at the same time. Please let us know if this is what you are looking for or if you meant something else.

Innovative and simple system
The software is very easy to use. I like the simplistic way in which the system operates. Anyone with very little computer skills can use it. I would recommend especially companies to use this system. It gives you a good overview of what is happing with your staff and you can easily analyze how you can plan better for the future.
CONSI have no bad points for this system so far.

Fast, Effective Team Scheduling
Soon is like Trello meets a calendar. It is as easy and fast to use as Trello, but includes mission-critical features necessary for managing daily scheduling. Perfect display with Kaban style cards. Honestly, the best scheduling system I've seen for teams like mine.
CONSWe haven't had a need for many advanced features yet, so it could be missing something, but we have not found anything yet.

Soon!!
Zeer tevreden. Keep up the good work!!
PROSWij werken momenteel al enige tijd met het programma Soon en zijn hier zeer over te spreken! De implementatie en verzorging van deze planningstool is door het Team van Soon zeer professioneel opgepakt en er werd zowel digitaal als face to face voldoende aandacht gegeven aan onze organisatie bij vragen en onduidelijkheden. Mede door deze korte lijntjes hebben wij de overgang als prettig ervaren.
CONSIn het begin waren er enkele functionaliteiten nog niet en dit maakte de instap soms wat omslachtiger dan verwacht. Voordeel is wel dat Soon hier direct op insprong bij de check in meetings en dus ook echt open staat voor verbetering en feedback vanuit de klant. Alle changes die wij constateerden zijn dan ook opgepakt en aangepast! :)
Reason for choosing Soon
Omdat Soon ons qua platform een betere presentatie heeft gegeven en de volledige aandacht legde op ons als organisatie waardoor wij heel specifiek onze eisen konden implementeren.

Zeer prettige rooster software
Zeer prettige partij om mee samen te werken. Qua service zijn ze uitstekend bereikbaar en het systeem heeft geen tot amper downtime. Het heeft ons als bedrijf enorm veel tijd bespaard en het geeft een goed overzicht van gaten in je bezetting.
PROSDe software is schaalbaar en geeft je een volledig overzicht van de beschikbare werknemers en de beschikbare uren. Je kunt verschillende taken en diensten met gemak invoeren en zichtbaar maken. De software geeft je overzichtelijk weer waar je qua uren tekort komt. Soon krijgt continue verbeteringen zoals de functionaliteiten "Leave & Workload". Soon werkt erg prettig en intuïtief.
CONSDeze waren aanwezig maar zijn inmiddels opgelost en geimplementeerd.

Review
Soon is een overzichtelijk en prima systeem om mee te werken. Zeker de mogelijkheden waarbij je per dag / moment op de dag goed overzichtelijk kunt zien hoeveel medewerks en hoeveel uur zij werken is fijn. Verder gebruik ik het puur om mijn rooster te checken en weet ik niet of je bijvoorbeeld ook rapportage of bepaalde periode kunt generen. Dat zou fijn zijn als je als klant wilt evalueren.
PROSVoordelen: - Je kan snel naar juiste afdeling switchen - Systeem maakt af en toe automatische updates - Je kan in 1 oogopslag zien hoeveel mensen er werken of ze thuis of op kantoor aanwezig zijn.
CONSMinpunten: - als ik de link opsla in mijn favorieten en zou elke dag snel SOON wil openen. Pakt hij altijd de datum op het momenten waarop ik hem aan mijn favorieten heb toegevoegd. Ik moet handmatig steeds refreshen.
