About Sling

Sling is a web-based staff scheduling and communication software for retailers and restaurants with shift-working employees. The software allows managers to assign shifts and tasks to employees across multiple work sites, using a single shared calendar. Sling is built around four central features: tasks, shifts, messages and newsfeed, and allows managers to coordinate all of their scheduling tasks on one platform. Managers can create shift schedules, manage shift trade and time-off requests; chat with employees and share photos, links and videos; post information and updates to a company newsfeed; and create and assign tasks to employees. Shift templates can be saved an reused any number of times, saving time for scheduling managers. Within the template, data can be filtered by date, position or department to find out the total number of employees assigned to a particular task or department. Employees can submit time-off and shift trade requests via the employee portal, where they're sent to the location manager for approval and re-assignment to other staff members where necessary. Users can create to-do lists and tasks, then assign these to a single employee or a group of employees. Users can set task timelines which generate automatic SMS or email reminders a few days before the deadline. Employees can send messages, work files, photos, videos and links to each other via Sling, as well as search for past conversations using keywords. Retail and restaurant outlets that have used Sling include Subway, Aveda, The UPS Store, Applebee’s and Securitas.

Benefits

Managers can save and copy employee schedules from previous days or weeks, and create recurring shifts, rather than start from scratch with each one.

Sling's drag and drop interface allows managers to simply drag an employee’s name on to a particular shift to assign it to them.

Schedules and shift alerts can be pushed to employees' phones as notifications to remind them of upcoming shifts.

Sling provides managers with an up-to-date view of employee availability and time-off requests helping them to avoid schedule conflicts and double-booking.

Should a shift-assigned employee back out at the last moment, the software sends a notification alert to all employees in order to find a replacement.

Sling helps location managers to create schedules that are in line with their defined labor budget, and avoid cost overrun.
