## Reviews

### "Ray's Apple Market Experience" — 5.0/5

> **Adam** | *15 December 2023* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I think for me is the ease of use, I have cut down the hours of writing schedules from 3-4 hours to about 1 to 2 hours. This allows me to compare sales to the hours used in real time instead of after the fact.
> 
> **Cons**: The only negative I would say is that when you are in writing schedules it pulls you from the section you are working on and refreshes it and puts you at the top of the application.
> 
> TimeForge is a homerun if you are looking for functionality and to save time. The support is top-notch as well. Thank you TimeForge for your partnership.

### "TimeForge for the win\!" — 5.0/5

> **Robert** | *10 September 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: TimeForge's UI is very user-friendly. It's very easy to learn and teach to others. We have always seen accurate reporting and forecasting with this product and I would recommend it to anyone.
> 
> **Cons**: The only negative  feedback that I can provide would be around enterprise-wide messaging. I would like to see more granularity in messaging recipients. The only options are to send to the whole company or individually pick the stores/roles I need to contact.
> 
> The TimeForge team is a very attentive and customer-focused operation. There was never an issue that they haven't resolved for us in a timely manner. They are always looking for ways to improve their product for each customer's individual needs.

> **Aaron** | *17 August 2021* | Supermarkets | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cloud based, ties into our sales on the front end, get real time information to be proactive instead of reactive in decision making.  Easy to use, employee app, manager app, employee messaging, lots of features.
> 
> **Cons**: Not any complaints, works great for our situation.
> 
> In the current employment situation we are facing it is a great tool to help us become more efficient and try to do more with less.  Helps keep track of our labor percentage real time so we are far more proactive in decision making.  Excellent help desk that gets back to you.
