Pros & Cons

The big win with Timeplan is the easy of use and strong integration between scheduling and time reporting.

The downside with Timeplan is that you typically only get either scheduling or time reporting for free. If you want both features you’ll need to pay a monthly fee (starts at £20/mo).

FAQ

Common questions we get

It all depends on what your needs look like. For most small to medium sized businesses all of the above scheduling systems will work. It’s primarily for large businesses that the systems above differ in a very meaningful way.

For most tools you can get started right away, for larger organizations that have complex rules and that needs to be educated, you’ll typically see between 1-6 months to get completely going.

Pricing does differ, and many tools use different pricing methods.

Most pricing solutions are based on the number of employees that’re being scheduled, while others have a fixed price. For small businesses with 10-50 employees pricing will generally differ 10-20% based on the tools.

A major benefit of cloudbased systems is accessibility. The ability to access your software from any device with internet connectivity will allow you to generate and alter schedules from anywhere — so you won’t have to run back into the office to check who is working or at what time.
