Our take
Keeping up with call-outs, shift changes and absences for hourly workers can be difficult, and the mismanagement of staff shifts can result in poor company-worker relationships. TeamSense allows businesses in the manufacturing industry to communicate about absences with their hourly workforce via text, and track attendance from one place.
It is this text-first approach, that does not require a new app, that separates the company from its competitors. Onboarding is faster and workers do not need to learn new workflows, as they are instead guided through the process of reporting an absence via a simple survey in their normal text app.
For employers, they gain a way to easily communicate with workers and avoid the stress of disputes, building stronger trust with their workforces. This idea has been well-received, and TeamSense has raised promising funds that will be used to hire development and go-to market teams.
