Soon

Avantages

As 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

Inconvénients

The 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

Avantages

Eaisy operator interface even the senior non-tech-savvy employees can manage the scheduling platform, minimum crew size and crew overlap warnings allow you to never leave a task short staffed or double book someone.

Inconvénients

I would like the ability to set the length of the job. currently you must schedule the job for each individual day instead of being able to set a start and end date/time and have the job auto populate for the duration.

Pourquoi passer à Soon

Avantages

Nothing really nothing ..........................

Inconvénients

No 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.

Avantages

The ease of set up and use. Olaf was very helpful when we needed support to make it work for our needs.

Inconvénients

The only thing we would like to see is the option to start work weeks on Sundays as this coincides with payroll.

Pourquoi passer à Soon

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

We haven't had a need for many advanced features yet, so it could be missing something, but we have not found anything yet.

Avantages

pleasant intuitive UI, intelligent UX design
responsive support team, lets me keep all team communication in one place for my sanity aaa

Inconvénients

integration with payroll but I know a few things in the pipeline, fingers crossed, I am looking forward to the next updates

Avantages

I 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.

Inconvénients

I would like to search names when they are scheduled in.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

I have no bad points for this system so far.

Avantages

Soon 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.

Inconvénients

No negative experiences so far. If something is missing or goes wrong Soon will help you with it.

Avantages

It's nice that there can be given names to all te workshifts.

Inconvénients

If you want to swap a shift, you both have to send a "cover-request".

Avantages

- 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

Inconvénients

- scrolling within the shift name list could be even smoother
- adding a Q&A section/information platform between management/workers would be of value

Avantages

Ease of use once you understand how it works and the support from the developers with questions I had.

Inconvénients

It does take a little time to figure out but talking with Olaf, he made it much easier to get up and running. There are some functions that I wish it had, but I did put it on a request that I hope they add in the near future.

Pourquoi passer à Soon

Avantages

Wij 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.

Inconvénients

In 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! :)

Pourquoi passer à Soon

Avantages

De 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.

Inconvénients

Deze waren aanwezig maar zijn inmiddels opgelost en geimplementeerd.

Avantages

Voordelen:
- 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.

Inconvénients

Minpunten:
- 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.

Avantages

This software is super easy to use and learn. I was able to invite my employees to join quickly and effortlessly, and we were all able to download the software as an app on computers and mobile phones. The customer service is also very fast and effective. Olaf even recorded a training video for me!

Inconvénients

No option as yet (unless I've missed it) to change already published shifts from the mobile app.
I'd like to use a timesheet option, which I have been told is currently in the works, so looking forward to trialling that aspect.

Avantages

Het product is makkelijk te gebruiken. Ben er blij mee

Inconvénients

Vooralsnog kan ik mij geen verbeterpunten bedenken

Avantages

All the features that make our planning more easy and clear for employees.

- modern en heldere layout

Inconvénients

Geen directe koppeling met iCal. Waardoor ik het nu via google calendar in mijn telefoon moet implementeren

Inconvénients

Still quite some clicks to get a complete easy to see overview.

Avantages
