“We began scheduling with TimeForge about 12 years ago, moving from calendars and excel worksheets. Managers and employees all loved the ease of communication and flexibility. We added time and attendance, and again found communication and flexibility outstanding. There’s been seamless integration with our payroll system. … The best part about TimeForge is customer support. I can’t say enough good things about TimeForge!”
