Online employee scheduling & time clocking
4.5/5 (47 reviews)SAVE TIME & MONEY ON REOCCURRING SCHEDULING TASKS
Ximble online employee software shrinks a tedious process into just minutes. There has never been software for employee scheduling that is this versatile and easy to use. Used for simple scheduling or more complex tasks, it makes adjustments and changes easily.
Even better, we’ll save you money! The Ximble Employee Schedule pays for itself in no time – and then some – providing hard cost savings in addition to saving time.
Pros
*Fairly easy to use - One you get a hang for what certain features do, it is very easy to use and a schedule can be set up pretty quickly. I can do a year's worth of scheduling for a dozen people in about a half an hour.
*The app and web consoles are both very easy to interpret - Adding people to the schedule means I have to pay for them to use the app, whether they use it or not. The app and website are so easy for them to use, I am surprised how many of them say they actually use it regularly.
*Lots of customization - I love all of the information it allows me to enter about my staff. The ability to turn certain notifications on and off for each individual is great too. It is completely customizable, which is great.
*Announcements/SMS texts - Group texts are great, but can get messy when everyone starts replying. The announcements feature has been great. I use it to let people know about large span schedule changes, training opportunities and general housekeeping notes. The extra $1 per person per year is completely worth it for everyone to get a text when I post a schedule change or announcement.
Cons
*Inability to turn certain features off - Since our service relies on coverage, we cannot just request time off. The shift needs to be traded. I wish I could turn off the "request time off" feature so that it doesn't get used at all.
*Positions do not automatically update - I have several members licensed at an MFR level. Last year I had 1, and this year will have more who's license will increase to an EMT-Basic level. When I change their position in their profile, it does not automatically update on the schedule. I may be doing something wrong, but the only thing I have found I can do to get them to show at their new level is to delete their schedule and re-enter it.
*Inability to create overnight/multi-day shifts - This is probably my biggest drawback about Nimbleschedule. Admittedly we have some pretty weird schedules. Most of my shifts are overnight and all-weekend shifts. The weekend shifts span 60 hours, and overnights are from 6 PM to 6 AM. As it stands now, in order for a shift to accurately span multiple days on the schedule, multiple shifts need to be created. It would be very helpful to be able to enter dates as well as times for shift start and end times, so that I am not creating 12 different shifts (4 different shifts (Fri night, Sat, Sun and Mon morning) for 3 people) for every weekend.
Great service, very helpful and the software has only gotten better over time!
Pros
We are a small company so Ximble was affordable and best of all- SIMPLE and easy to use. Great customer service with quick responses.
Cons
It logs you out randomly and takes time to log back in which is a total hassle when you are trying to start your work day.
Over-all, besides the minor annoyance of having to edit incorrect hours due to placement of clock out button, ximble has been pretty painless in terms of monitoring employee hours. Being able to edit employee schedules on the app and having the app send alerts to all your employees of their scheduled hours is a big plus.
Pros
Ease of clocking in and clocking out.
Simple interface.
Has a mobile App.
Cons
A lot of the employees make mistakes of "clocking out" instead of "taking break for lunch". I do not understand why Ximble thought it was necessary to add a big CLOCK OUT symbol right above the "take a break" button when you can clock out from the main page anyway. Having to correct this mistake can get a bit annoying when a lot of your employees consistently do it.
Pros
Ximble has a very easy and intuitive interface for clocking in and out of work and tracking your hours. I am a big fan of clean UI and Ximble delivers in that respect. It has a very mobile friendly web page, which is good because I am not a fan of the app.
Cons
I would not recommend installing the app as the location tracking is not an opt in feature. I am NOT comfortable with my employer tracking my location. If this were an opt in feature, I would likely use it.
Nimble Schedule is an intuitive and powerful software that makes schedules easily accessible to employees. There are some basic functions that would make the software easier to use, such as batch-deleting shifts in a more intuitive way, or auto-scheduling based on employee availability. Batch-deleting exists, but is very difficult to use; auto-scheduling also exists, but doesn't work for our purposes. These are minor complaints, however. Nimble Schedule does scheduling very well, is flexible, and easy-to-use where it counts.
Pros
The software is powerful, well-priced, mostly intuitive, and easily accessible for employees. It is well-built, efficient, and looks modern. Nimble Schedule's best feature is its customer service. Customer service is generally available within minutes via the in-browser chat function. Representatives are friendly, respectful, and happily assist with any problems.
Cons
Some of the scheduling process is not intuitive; some of the features are not fully developed or robust enough for our purposes.

For a while now, the ability to track coverage for our EMS staff was a bit scattered. We never had problems with the actual scheduling -- we have a set schedule that pretty much never changes -- however it was becoming increasingly difficult to track when one person was covering for someone else's shift. It became a game of texting, guessing and questioning who was covering for whom." It was getting confusing and needed some serious help.
Being a small town volunteer organization, we don't have a lot of money to spend. So finding an inexpensive solution that was also very easy for some not-so-tech-savvy people to use was key. Nimbleschedule fits the bill perfectly. I am very surprised at how many of my members actually use it.
Though I do have a few items that I wish were different, overall Nimbleschedule has been a wonderful tool for our service.
