The Skedulo app is built for the deskless workforce: active workers who typically don't spend all day sitting at a desk. Delivery drivers, retail workers, field service workers, home care attendants, and commercial cleaners are just a few of the mobile workers that Skedulo is built to support. The app, compatible with Android and iOS devices, gives operational managers a complete view of their business without an office. Let workers and managers use a single system for scheduling, resource movement, time tracking, data analysis, and reporting.
Workers can view newly assigned tasks, access and share schedules, and message each other, all in real time. Routing information in the app helps workers get to jobsites, and service customer details and on-site to-do lists help them get the job done. They can document their work by using the app to capture and send photos, signatures, notes and more, even when they're offline.
Managers can use Skedulo's built-in data analysis tools to uncover inefficiencies, spot performance trends, and make informed decisions to increase productivity and enhance the service customer experience. Factors analyzed by the tools include travel time, work completed, and job development. Contact Skedulo for cost information.
If you haven't heard of 15Five yet, expect to see this app hitting the headlines more often in the future. 15Five was named one of the top ten most innovative companies in the workplace by Fast Company in 15. XNUMXFive is a powerful app that employees can use to track their development and provide feedback to their managers.

In the 15Five app, logs help employees manage feedback on their work, track progress toward goals, and keep track of priorities. (Click on the image to enlarge.)
The 15Five app works by connecting managers and employees to optimize performance. 15Five represents the time employees are expected to spend using the app per week. That's fifteen minutes for an employee to "check in," then 5 minutes for managers to vet their direct reports. (Companies can set different expectancies for weekly or monthly logs.)
The check-ins, the foundation of the 15Five ecosystem, are essentially a way for employees to provide direct feedback to their managers on how they're doing. This is accomplished through the use of drive ratings about how employees feel at work, goals that set clear goals and track employees' progress toward them, and priorities (tasks that help achieve the goals). goals), such as questions and high fives to celebrate employee victories and prove their value to the company.
Goals include statistics on how employee success is measured, such as increasing monthly revenue by €1,000. Priorities are close to goals (and can be connected to them), but this section works more like a to-do list. Employees can schedule specific work-related tasks, such as "meet three new potential service customers," and then track their progress to completion. When the priorities are complete, they are marked off and completed for the week.
15Five also offers one-on-one interviews, self-assessments, and an option that lets employees ask for real-time feedback from their peers. One-on-one interviews offer managers and employees a way to track strategic conversations and drive development through the extraction of information from 15Five recordings. Employees can easily schedule their weekly one-on-one meeting and integrate it with Google Calendar through the app. Once the talking points have been discussed, they can be crossed out. Items that are not reviewed are automatically carried over to the next 1 to 1. You can also create new action items and add notes.
Finally, 15Five is compatible with Engage, a service that distributes surveys to employees to get meaningful insight into how they feel about their jobs. 15Five Business plans start at €8 per user per month.
