TimeForge Workforce Scheduling is now listed in FindApps.com

Posted on Dec 06, 2007 by apresley in Blog

What is FindApps.com? FindApps is a comprehensive guide to hosted applications (also known as Application Service Providers or ASPs). They currently list several thousand applications which require no installation, no updates, and no service contracts (like our own labor scheduling program). It’s a resource that every business owner should have saved in their Bookmarks.

What kinds of things are on FindApps.com? Although many of the programs listed on FindApps.com are “generic” in nature and apply to anyone who uses a computer, some of their listed programs apply directly to TimeForge.com employee scheduling users.

Workforce Labor Scheduling Updates (Part 1)

Posted on Dec 06, 2007 by apresley in Press Releases

We are pleased to announce TimeForge version 1.9 , the easy-to-use employee scheduling program for food-service (restaurant, bar, club), hospitality (hotel, motel), and retail companies.

Thank you to our users who provide priceless feedback about the software can make their lives easier!

This version provides significant enhancements to all TimeForge users, and includes several dozen new and improved features. Some of our time-saving improvements include:

  • Availability and requests both received drastic improvements for both managers and employees. You can now view weekly availability on a continual basis on a calendar. Availability is color-coded based on when employees “want to work”, are “available to work”, “do not want to work”, and are “unavailable to work”. Requests awaiting manager approval are also displayed for employees. This is what the improved requests look like:
  • In addition to the calendar view of requests, TimeForge users can quickly make new requests, or change availability by using “drag and drop” techniques. Each day of the week is split into hourly segments, and you can now click and drag to create schedules in a single click. Of course, our flexible scheduling system still allows users to build both simple and complex requests!

Of course, we look forward to your ongoing comments about changes to the TimeForge scheduling system.

How Email Can Go Wrong ….

Posted on Dec 04, 2007 by apresley in TimeForge Features

Yesterday, some of our users were sent a email describing how well TimeForge.com can assist with labor scheduling at multi-unit or multiple store concepts.

For instance, TimeForge users can manage an unlimited number of locations from their account, and each store can have different employees. Employees can work at more than one store and TimeForge automatically detects when employees are scheduled at other locations so that no staff members are double-scheduled. TimeForge has other multi-store labor scheduling capabilities as well , and we are always adding new features to the software.

However, the email program that sends out short reminders and email tips malfunctioned, sending many of our users multiple copies of the same email. We are truly sorry for “spamming” your mailbox, and can assure you that we have taken the necessary precautions to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Thank you for your understanding. If you have any further questions, please send an email to our support group.
