Employee self-service platform for hourly workers
4.6/5 (596 Bewertungen)Branch Messenger is a self-service workforce management solution for hourly employees in retail, restaurant, hospitality, fitness, banking, transportation and call center workforces. The native mobile apps for iOS and Android allow employees to manage their schedules, time off, and track their earnings, and enables communication between managers and teams.
With Branch Messenger, employees can take photos of their paper schedules to automatically add shifts to their calendar. Shift cover can be arranged between employees, with administrators able to decide whether manager approval is required. Coworkers are automatically notified of upcoming shifts, shift coverage approvals and rejections, and new messages. In-app chat allows users to send messages to one another without needing to exchange phone numbers or email addresses. Text, images, gifs, videos, and files can also be posted to the activity feed.
Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots within Branch Messenger can be used for employee onboarding, training, and engagement, and continuously learn from employee conversations. Administrators can control access to the app, with on-the-clock restrictions and geofencing for specific application features. Custom regional workplace groups can be created to link teams across store locations, and users can be removed or blocked from joining locations if necessary. Managers can also view store-level reporting and employee activity through the Branch Messenger web dashboard.
Vorteile
Everything! I like that everyone on the app can access and share the same information with ease. I love how not only does it enable you to post and share work schedules, but the app also breaks down the schedule to an easily viewed breakdown per fa of each week. It shows you who is coming in and when on which day so that there is never any confusion as to who is working. I also love how it will alert you two hours before you have your next shift starting, just in case you forget or just didn't see the schedule posted at work. I also love how there is an individual chat option so you can have private conversations with your coworkers about work related issues that not everyone needs to see. Lastly, I love how the app enables a form of communication that doesn't require the use of people's data, minutes, or texts, as many people don't always have unlimited access to these.
Nachteile
There really isn't anything negative I can think of with the app, other than sometimes it will get the wrong times for upcoming shifts on the daily break downs of the schedule. However, you can just as easily double check the schedule posted in the app in case you feel there might be an error.
The schedule data lets managers and employees work together without direct contact, saving both groups time and annoyance
Vorteile
The level of options and systems in the program is impressive. There are basically 4 programs in one, an image share, a calendar, a messenger and a wage calculator. Streamlines the scheduling process for managers and staff as well because you eliminate the need to call in and verify shifts.
Nachteile
The messaging service seems to use data instead of SMS which can be a problem with large numbers of group members and messages. Also, the coverage tools could be improved by typing in times rather than the rolling clock input
Having problems editing and changing position and business.
Vorteile
Being able to post the weekly schedule and shift reminders. I like to use it to add training tips so all the crew can see it. I also use it to praise and recognize individual crew members and the team as a whole.
Nachteile
I would like More GIFS related to Arby's and the food industry. Sometimes I get notifications about conversations but when I go into the App I can't find the whole conversation that I was notified about, so it's like coming into the middle of something that you aren't quite sure what the original question is about.
Reminders about shifts, new information from store supervisor, other things important to my job.
Vorteile
What I personally love about this app is that it's the perfect way to see my schedule and who I'm working with instead of taking a picture of my schedule every week on my phone and taking up more space than what is necessary. The app also shows you how much you make in a week when you add your wage, and also reminds you of your shift a couple hours before! On the main page it also shows you the current weather, which is great if you don't work in the same town as the one you live in like myself. You can post within the app and there is a section to post in to see if anyone needs a shift covered or if you yourself needs a shift covered.
Nachteile
There isn't really anything that I dislike about the software, but if I had to choose something it would be the "Team" tab which is used for contacting other team members, making groups, etc. I personally don't use it, and opt to just text my co-workers instead, but it is a great idea to have the section inside the app.
Vorteile
What I liked most was the ability to post schedule changes or swap with another person, request days off, and the ability to contact my co-workers when I don't have their number. Branch was very easy to use also, and easy to navigate. I also enjoyed how there was different settings for viewing the times I worked in a week, and how you could add someone else to the timeline and track their schedule as well.
Nachteile
What I did not like s much was on the comments some people would leave, you could not view who liked what exactly.
