allows for more accomplished work

It allows me to have order and coordination in all my work, using this platform I do not have to move to others causing confusion

What they liked
  • It is a platform with multiple very nice functions for my work that benefit me in monitoring and planning, its system is very easy to use and that has allowed me to have a more professional development in my area by presenting projects in the estimated times with on-time monitoring real where I can have control of the evolution and update
  • and also helps me with the coordination of schedules, shifts and total hours worked
Room for improvement

It has been completely to my liking and there are no bad dislikes or bad flaws, I like everything and I feel happy using it

Deputy - a solid scheduling and timekeeping platform.

I used it operationally for a few years and found it easy and functional. Its very easy to make basic changes to scheduling and do timesheet approvals from a phone.

What they liked
  • Detailed functionality makes it ideal for most aspects of managing staff scheduling, timekeeping, and outputting to payroll
  • Easy to use by employees
Room for improvement
  • Once in a while, employees would have issues with the app, but this would be temporary, possibly to do with connectivity on the devices
  • Its not the cheapest option if you have a lot of staff doing few hours, as its a per user subscription I think
Why they chose it

"Deputy was chosen by our company. I think I preferred Deputy to use, but could switch to ConnectTeam for the value."

Accessible and Easy Use

I can be on the go and document what I am doing and show that I am on location if needed. It helps me keep track of what clients I met when, and is especially helpful when writing reports and dates are needed.

What they liked
  • I liked that my coworker who was blind could easily navigate the app using her iphone and text-to-speech
  • I also like that I can look back at dates and see I did that day, as well as my hours total count for the week
  • The hours total count is a change that I requested to the app and the updated showed in a reasonable amount of time
  • The design is easy to use with the iphone app, and I like that the categories can be designed to fit your business tasks for streamlined documentation of how much time is spent doing a certain task
  • Also, you can put notes to detail what you were doing during that time period which is crucial for staff that are changing tasks all day
Room for improvement

Sometimes the app will glitch when putting in an end time and after changing the end time from the current time it will default several times back to the current time instead of the end time you want

I itially ok but we outgrew it

Initially Deputy met our busi ess needs but as we grey it could not keep up necessitating us to switch providers.

What they liked

Super easy interface for employees to use but feature add did not keep up with competitors in the market considering the price point

Room for improvement
  • Integration with Xero was limiting to ensure payrol was run correctly without errors
  • Sometimes very slow to load

Great for scheduling but limited

Deputy is easy to use, you can cut/paste schedules, it has a cost analysis and easily integrates into an number of payroll systems. Would love if they built out the platform more though so they had chat etc.

What they liked
  • Easy to schedule, people can confirm shifts, shows cost analysis
Room for improvement
  • Limited functionality - We use it for scheduling only
  • Although I see the have a new HR function
  • Other systems like Connecteam have more functions and are generally cheaper
Why they chose it

"We have been using Deputy but will transition now to Connecteam for price and additional functions"

DONT BOTHER

Ive used Deputy for almost as long as it has been around, and the customer services is absolutely disgraceful these days, you cant get support for account finance issues during weekends, and if you run a business that requires you access during the weekend tough shit.

What they liked
  • NOTHING AT ALL, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DISGRACEFUL
Room for improvement
  • Customer Service is disgraceful, would not bother

Pricing and the customer service so far is amazing

Deputy Review

Wonderful! I would absolutely recommend it for companies with small pools of employees.

What they liked
  • The month view of the schedule - as well as the easy ability to spot open shifts
Room for improvement

Unfortunately, the financial commitment to utilize Deputy was beyond our price point

Switched From

The company was growing, and we needed the ability to have the scheduling process be a bit more automated.

Payroll in Deputy

Very straight forward when approving timesheets.

What they liked
  • "Import Scheduled Details" in the "Approve Timesheet" section
Room for improvement

All the leaves will disappear from the timesheets if you choose by team when approve timesheet

Switched From

It was very slow when updating information through Wagelochj
