Why frontline operators are migrating from When I Work.
Legacy apps were designed for simple desk rotas a decade ago. StaffSumo was built ground-up for high-turnover shift teams with integrated SOP checklists, zero-block clock-outs, and flat location pricing.
In When I Work, approving a shift frequently resets your scroll and kicks you back to the home screen. In StaffSumo, shift confirmations, trades, and approvals happen in-place with instantaneous optimistic state updates.
Deactivated staff in StaffSumo are immediately hidden from active manager approval queues and roster pickers, preventing accidental scheduling of former employees.
Export your schedule CSV from When I Work and upload directly to StaffSumo. All positions, member profiles, and shifts map automatically with zero manual re-entry.
When I Work does not offer digital checklists. StaffSumo includes photo-verified checklists, temperature logs, and manager sign-offs natively at no extra charge.
