Balance the time of the technicians in minutes, create your technician patterns, make and manage custom filters. > > **Cons**: Some difficulties synchronizing Preventive Maintenance work orders, especially if the CMMS manage forecasting without creating a physical work order. ----- ### "Still working out the bugs to fit the needs of our company." — 3.0/5 > **Yvette** | *8 June 2018* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use to do minimal scheduling. Filter windows really help out. Whenever I have issues and contact someone at Sockeye, customer service is great. > > **Cons**: Takes up a lot of real estate on the screen. Would like a scroll bar in some windows but do to the cost I don't think that is in the works. Still need to customize more interaction with SAP windows. Change of hours, pulling complete WOs to reflect KPIs. Remove some of the manual entries. Have Sockeye extract more information from SAP. > > Ease of viewing the schedule between the week and daily assignments. Really effective scheduling tool for those that are not computer savoy. ----- ### "Very easy to use scheduling tool." — 4.0/5 > **Robert** | *5 June 2018* | Paper & Forest Products | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Easy drag and drop scheduling. - Easy to upload information to time card system. - Sockeye outputs very useful statistical information. > > **Cons**: - Deferred work orders disappear from schedule making it easier to forget them on future schedules. - Not practical to add call-ins to sockeye schedule because there is no place to add specific time, or a gap in the schedule. > > Easy to use scheduling tool that outputs very useful statistical data. ----- ### "I use limited usage of program-Just schedules for wo completions-to be enter to close wo." — 4.0/5 > **Debora Nancy** | *8 June 2018* | Paper & Forest Products | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: For me, the wo can be completed out with comments for the job and indicating the proper employee who would have performed the jobs required. It also indicates on the scheduling the employees reference for the day for floating holidays, vacation-or whatever applies. > > **Cons**: On a daily basis, even if the wo had been closed-I see on the next day the item is still listed. I question why it is so, since the following day the wo would have been completed. > > up to day info for work order system. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/435807/sockeye?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/435807/sockeye) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
