Client Testimonials
I came across Snap Schedule online and within 2 hours I had built out my entire schedule. I was able to pick it up quickly because of how intuitive the program is.
We love the employee access portal, and love all the reporting we can do. On a corporate level we can view what our needs are easily, and can manage time-off more simply.
We looked at a lot of different scheduling software. All of it just seemed so convoluted and complicated. The simplicity of Snap Schedule was a big selling point for us.
