Streamlining Operations with Deputy
We’ve successfully adopted Deputy, a workforce-management tool. This software has significantly streamlined our operations, especially for our frontline employees. Deputy helps us to create and distribute schedules efficiently, and employees can access their schedules and request time off via a mobile app.
One standout feature is the time-and-attendance tracking, which integrates with our payroll system. This has reduced manual data-entry errors and improved payroll accuracy. Moreover, Deputy’s communication tools enable real-time updates and messages to our dispersed workforce. The reporting and analytics feature has been instrumental in monitoring labor costs and optimizing staffing levels.
Overall, Deputy has enhanced our scheduling, time tracking, and communication processes, resulting in better workforce management and improved operational efficiency for our deskless workforce.

Centralizing Insights for Efficiency with MyCheckins
For managing our deskless workforce efficiently, we integrated MyCheckins into our operational framework. This tool prompts our team to answer three pivotal questions:
- What have I accomplished since our last meeting?
- What are my in-focus/in-progress tasks?
- What obstacles are standing in my way? What do I need help with? Anything to discuss in our meeting?
By centralizing these insights, MyCheckins has significantly streamlined our operations, fostering clear communication and ensuring that team members remain aligned, engaged, and aware of both accomplishments and impending challenges. The platform’s simplicity and focus on key questions have made it an invaluable asset in our deskless workforce management strategy.
