    Reviewed on 17/04/2018

    Pros

    As QB Gelato continues to grow we are finding the tools within Deputy to be extremely valuable. For example, we have set up our 'Opening, Closing & Daily Checklists' in Deputy under tasks which allows us to run our business as paperless as possible. In addition, it gives Management the ability to check-in and see if tasks are being completed when not at the shop. Being able to communicate updates to the team members and request a confirmation that they have read the communication is brilliant. I look forward to putting the scheduling module to the test this summer as we are adding on a mobile truck to our business. I have no doubt Deputy will exceed any scheduling requirements. My final comment has to do with processing payroll and the integration between Deputy and our payroll system. Having this integration feature is such a time saver. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to run payroll as the hours from Deputy import seamlessly into our payroll system. We are extremely pleased with Deputy and highly recommend this software application for scheduling. A final note... support is excellent!

    Cons

    At the present time there is nothing we dislike about Deputy. The support team is always there to guide you through issues.

    Since implementing deputy towards the end of 2015 in our business, I have worked closely with Jake and Joseph on making the system work with ease and ensure we are using the system to its potential.
    Our business has a high turnover of transient employees who work varied hours and days of work which makes it hard for our managers to roster efficiently.
    The team at Deputy have worked with us to add custom features which can help with our daily struggles in turn saving us time and money by being able to roster effectively and ensure we are being compliant at each step.
    As the Payroll officer for our Australian and New Zealand region, Deputy have allowed me to streamline the fortnightly payroll process. Removed the need for any manual inputting, in turn ensuring we have time for quality checks, within our limited time constraints on payroll day.
    We are a fast paced business and this system works extremely well for our managers creating and publishing the rosters, as well as confirming timesheets.

    Pros

    Worked closely with our team to add additional features required
    Fast response time
    Realistic time-frames
    Great problem solving skills, and solutions
    Helps with rostering efficiently,
    Forecast of costs,
    Ensures Compliance
    Reporting functions
    Payroll inputting has reduced from 1.5 days to 1Hrs due to new seamless payroll integration
    New upgrade of system is more user friendly and responsive

    Cons

    More updates on system features/upgrades to come
    More training for Support staff on system set up
    Doesn't do 'Modern award' interpretation. Although we have now got the system to interpret the Award this was a lot of custom features we worked with the Development team on.

    Terrible software! Wasted hours of my life trying to setup employees

    Reviewed on 08/05/2023

    Horrible. Do not waste your time with this software.

    Horrible. Do not waste your time with this software.

    Pros

    All I wanted was the auto build on set agreed hrs - does not work as unable to set Work Periods and Work hrs in People section. Buggy as hell and just does not retain info to right personnel. Seems to show incorrect info in fields for the person but also save that wrong info to them. No way to delete faulty work periods or rename them. Interface severely flawed. Cannot believe this company that has been around for years is at this level.

    Cons

    Support was hopeless. Chat a total waste of time. Got a call back from a team leader after asking for it repeatedly. Was told it would be escalated. No further contact from that point. 5 days later I tried software again. Deleted company and remade. Same issues. Tried customer support. Same useless person on chat. Teamleader called me after strenuous request. No further news. Just empty apologies.
