Homebase

Vorteile

I thoroughly enjoy the Homebase platform and its ease of use. Everything is color coordinated, which is my favorite part. I use this to schedule my employees for all my locations. My employees enjoy it too because they can request time off, trade shifts, and see when they are scheduled on their phone. I also love the stats where I can keep track of sales and labor - and it links up all my locations which is a plus!

Nachteile

There honestly isn't anything I dislike about the software. I use it mainly for scheduling, but it does so much more than that. I would maybe like to customize admin roles a little more for better security, but that isn't entirely necessary.

Vorteile

Quite honestly, one of the first things I recommend to businesses that want to schedule employees and know their labor costs that are up to the minute.

Nachteile

The one feature that I do wish was available, would be a calendar view that showed the entire department or business, so that it could be displayed on a monitor or web-based application.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Homebase

Vorteile

Ease of use and user interface was the cleanest. We switched to Square Shifts because of the price at the time and the easy integration with square payroll. But Homebase looks much better and is easier to use for the person creating the schedule.

Nachteile

Price and that I didn’t have much trust in Homebase’s payroll. We switched to square because it was more trust worthy in our opinion. Whether that is a correct assumption or not, I don’t know.

Vorteile

Very easy to use. The user interface is very simple and easy to navigate.

Nachteile

I feel like this is a beta software that should not have been rolled out yet. We have been using it for a week and have had issues every day since we started using it. Basic things that you think should just work doesn't work.
Example: All my employees have a 1 hour, unpaid lunch everyday. They clock in and clock out on this required one hour lunch but Homebase is still counting it in their total hours. So know I ma getting alerts that they all have overtime but they actually don't because Homebase is not calculating hours correctly.
So there have been several little things (Bugs) that I have found every day since using Homebase. I contact customer support and they tell me that they will pass it on to their product team.
This may sound harsh but the product team really should have tested this software more before rolling it out. Makes me question all the reviews I am seeing on here. All the bugs have been on basic functions.

Vorteile

I like being able to use the mobile app for finding our team schedule and receiving updates on schedule changes. It is also easy to communicate with other team members on the app.

Nachteile

Homebase works well for our small, 20 person team. I would question if it was scalable for if our team exponentially increased.
