Pros
I think most of it is very good, but the report generator is a bit fiddly
I always recommend Flex. It’s a complex yet user-friendly system with a wide range of possibilities.
It was so quick and easy to get started with Smartplan. It sounds like a cliché, but I was at my wits’ end with the shop rota. It felt as though all my ‘problems’ vanished when I no longer had to deal with the rota every week. I’ve created a rolling 4-week rota. Brilliant 🤗
Simple and easy for all users.

Cons
That we sometimes have to produce routine reports, such as annual reports for the auditors, etc.
I find the report generator a bit complicated; it’s hard to figure out for yourself how to use it.
There should be a selection of ‘standard reports’ that you can use and then customise.
Perhaps there could also be a bit more ‘pop-up’ information when you select settings, explaining what they do.
Nothing really. Everything’s working fine.
Since the messaging feature was upgraded, we are happy.
