Sling Unveils Shift Scheduling Tool for Businesses

Sling, a shift scheduling tool for non-desk employees, is designed to allow managers to organize all aspects of their work on a single platform instead of having to communicate and coordinate work with employees via email, Excel or social media group.

The platform is built around four features:

Shifts enables retailers to set up shift schedules, manage time off, shift trade requests and handle unexpected changes without stress.
Messages enables retailers to send messages and chat with employees, or share photos, videos, and links with coworkers — either individually or in groups.
Tasks enables retailers to create and assign tasks and get notified when they are completed. For example, managers can remind employees about upcoming deadlines.
Newsfeed enables brands to post and distribute information and news to their company’s feed for all employees to see.

In its first year, Sling achieved $2.5 million in revenue, building upon the momentum of its initial $500,000 pre-seed funding. The company will utilize the funds secured to increase support efforts and greater repositories of value-added content on the platform. Within the time frame, the company added 1,500 new clients to its roster.
