Whilst the flexi-pricing is really great, it can be somewhat costly to use the full SMS features.

Time management to the max! Rostering previously took hours to complete, with the auto-fill feature it takes no more than 30-minutes.

The scheduling features are the best and the ability to send notes to everybody and be able to see your schedule in advance. It's so good.

I love that let me know where everybody is and I'm able to see who's working where and for how long and everyone's able to send notes to us so we know what issues may arise

"Amazing product, absolute game changer!"
What do you like best about Deputy?

Easy to use, the staff find it user friendly too. The customer support is outstanding and the integration to our payroll system has changed my life for the better :) Also love the geo tag so we can see when someone has clocked off away from our business.

What do you dislike about Deputy?

Can't think of any! It has all the features we need

What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?

No more manually putting hours into payroll. A honest way to keep track of employees clock in and out times (previously we just got them to write it down). Being able to make templates for rostering and copy and pasting from different weeks.
