About Nowsta

Nowsta is a cloud-based workforce management software designed to help businesses of all sizes handle staff scheduling, communications, time or attendance tracking, and payroll processing, among other administrative operations. Supervisors can gain insights into workers' ratings, projected and actual costs based on a day, week, shift, or month and team's performance on a centralized platform.

Nowsta automatically logs in work hours, calculates salaries or overtime rates, and lets organizations export their time and attendance data directly into third-party payroll systems according to requirements. Administrators can use time clock and image verification capabilities to streamline employees' check-in processes and track their work hours against schedules to identify discrepancies. Managers can receive overtime warnings about staff members and view workforce' availability on a calendar. Businesses can also manage custom reporting processes, view events, and utilize tags or filters to search required employees for each work shift.

Nowsta facilitates integrations with various third-party payroll providers such as Paychex, ADP, and more. Employees can use the mobile application to access job requests, receive updates about corporate changes or announcements, and view work shifts on a calendar. Other features include time and attendance dashboard, data visualization, SMS reminders, GPS-enabled check-in, and PDF timesheets.

Easy to use, cuts staffing time in half, great customer support and overall highly recommended.

Pros

Nowsta is a staffing platform that was created especially for the Catering & Event Industry. They did their research on what was needed and that comes full circle as you use it daily. On top of having great Customer Support and response time to questions, issues, concerns or suggestions, Nowsta provides a streamlined staffing software that is easy to use for all. Our response times are cut in half and we have more immediate feedback if a staff member is going to accept the shift or not. The Time & Attendance feature is super simple to approve times and notice and discrepancies. I would highly recommend.

Cons

Currently, the only thing I wish I had with this software. I have is having to log into the web application as a Coordinator and not having access through the app for making day of/on-site changes to staff, but this is a rare need for us and easy to use the web version from a phone internet browser.

Nowsta review

Reviewed on 2024-07-19

Pros

I was particularly impressed by Nowsta's user-friendly interface and the seamless experience it provides for both employees and managers. The scheduling system is intuitive and makes it easy to track shifts, manage availability, and communicate with the team. The integration with payroll systems is a major plus, saving time and reducing errors in payment processing. Additionally, the mobile app is convenient for on-the-go access and helps keep everyone in the loop with real-time notifications.

Cons

One area where Nowsta could improve is the customization of notifications. Sometimes the frequency of alerts can be overwhelming, especially during peak scheduling times. Also, while the platform is generally robust, occasional technical glitches can cause delays or confusion. Expanding the customer support hours would be beneficial as well, to ensure assistance is available during late shifts or weekends.

Its been really seamless for us. I love that I can fill staffing positions, even last minute, if I get in a jam, and the Nowsta staff is super responsive to when we have an urgent need (or any need in that matter).

Pros

I love how integrated my event details and staffing are.

Cons

I dont genuinely have any complaints. It works for what we need it for.
