Makeshift in Strathmore

Overall experience is very good from the product itself, to the online support.

PROS

Integration was fairy easy, we had lot's of support. Features are easy to use and customize to what our company needs.

CONS

One of the features I would like to see changed is when an employee puts in their availability it shows up on their schedule but if a shift is requested on this day it does not reflect their availability and hours outside of the availability are still scheduled in. I have also found shifts have been put into the wrong schedule from that employee that requested and was granted the shift.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for your feedback Susan! If you have any difficulties with your schedule, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@makeshift.ca so we can investigate and correct the issue!

Difficult communication for overtime

Overall good, except with above

PROS

It's easy to see what shifts are open and who's working them

CONS

When you bid on a shift, you should be able to leave a note with it if there's a special circumstance like only available partial shift or if it would be overtime. This inability is beyond annoying when you have to email a scheduler first before bidding in special circumstances

Vendor Response

Hi Rhon, thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to pass along your comments to our product team for future enhancements to our product! If you have any other comments, please feel free to reach out to support@makeshift.ca.

Health care worker Alberta review of Makeshift

Love this tool, use it daily.

PROS

Very easy to use. I love using the 'dashboard' feature for a snap shot of exactly who is scheduled to come in for any given shift and what our needs are.

CONS

When using dashboard - I would like a quicker way to forward to a date that is further out than a week or two. It would be nice to be able to advance without clicking for each day in between. Also, it would be nice to be able to see highlighted when we are over or under our baseline.

Reasons for switching to MakeShift

We were directed to as all rural sites were moving to makeshift.

Vendor Response

Hi Joanne, thank you for your review! That is a great idea for our dashboard, and we will be sure to pass along your comments to our product team!

Makeshift review

PROS

The most impactful part of makeshift for our hospital is that employees can see there schedule and request without calling the staffing office or contacting the unit. they are able to switch shifts and request trades in the app. we are also able to send announcements and individual messages if need be.

CONS

I would really like to be able to see the history or shifts that have been removed from employee's schedule and also be able to re enable a trade if you accidently decline and forgot the dates

Vendor Response

Thank you for your detailed comments Stacey! Shift audits and histories are available - if you would like more information, please feel free to reach out at support@makeshift.ca!

MakeShift saves so much time

We love working with MakeShift. The customer support is super helpful and incredibly responsive.

PROS

Our company switched to MakeShift a year ago and I wouldn't go back if you paid me a million dollars. Makeshift has made scheduling so much easier and quick! You can build out templates and schedule people out for months or even years. Employees love having their schedules at their fingertips and the ease of trading shifts makes life easy.

CONS

I wish we could drag and drop schedules for several people at one time.

Reason for choosing MakeShift

I was not part of the decision process.

Reasons for switching to MakeShift

The former program was not user friendly.

Vendor Response

Hi Ashley, thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you find so much value in MakeShift!

Makes working from home easier!

Makeshift has been great in helping me transition to a "work from home" world. I love that I can clock in and out of work with the ease of tapping a screen. Brilliant.

PROS

So easy to clock in and clock out of work from anywhere. I can see all the hours I have worked whether it be in the past, or same day. So easy to use this software!

CONS

I wish the app would automatically load in the classic view when I log in from my phone.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review Peeka! We are glad to hear that MakeShift has helped make transitioning to work from home easier!

Not only is it easy for me to use but my Team members like it as well. They download the Makeshift app and can see their schedules with a click of a button. Very easy for them as well.

PROS

I like the fact that it is easy to use. I am not a computer genius but this was easy to learn and use.

CONS

I haven't found anything that I do not like about this software. I use it with ease every day and find it makes my job of scheduling very easy.

ease of use

see above under pros

PROS

once I got used to it, which was pretty quickly, I was able to access my co-workers schedules with the greatest of ease. I could determine daily schedules when client's were trying to reach them, regular days off, scheduled vacation days, for the week, or future, when planning my own time off. I' able to narrow down departments so I'm not scrolling down alphabetically through everyone's name in the company.

CONS

none that I can think of at this time. It's a very valuable product with ease of use.

Easy to use

TheMakeShift team has always been very helpful to us to solve problems; advise on best setup practices and revive feedback to improve the tool.

PROS

This tool allows for a fairly easy setup to get teams up and running quickly. The ability to publish requests to fill empty shifts is quite handy!

CONS

A monthly calendar view would be most helpful to see a month at a glance in a format that everyone is familiar with.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the review Kelly! We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying our available shifts feature. We also appreciate your recommendation regarding a monthly calendar view. This is something that we are hoping to implement in the future!

Easy Peazy

You are able to clock in from your phone with ease. As a user, I can keep up with my hours, see what my paycheck will be before it is direct deposited. I'm able to see my checkstubs and download or email them. I get my W2's very quickly and can print or share them. This app is fairly user friendly as well.

PROS

Clocking in by either opening the app or quick clock

CONS

Before the update, it was not so user friendly. Since the update, it is better.

Thank you for your comments Michelle! We hope that we can continue to improve with each update!
