Why WhatsApp and Spreadsheets Are Hard to Manage for Teams
A Small Story
I used to manage a team of 15 using WhatsApp and Excel.
At first, it worked fine. But over time, things got messy.
Shifts were missed. Sometimes people showed up at the wrong time. And I spent a lot of hours just trying to fix mistakes.
The Problem
- Messages get lost in group chats.
- Excel sheets can get messy, especially when multiple people are editing.
- Managers end up spending too much time just keeping things organized.
Why It Matters
Even small mistakes can add up. Teams get frustrated. Work slows down.
In 24/7 operations like logistics, hospitals, or airports, small scheduling issues can quickly cause bigger problems.
A Better Way
I wanted a simpler solution. Something that makes scheduling easier, without extra stress.
That’s why I built WeDeploi — a small tool to help manage shifts more smoothly.
- Drag-and-drop scheduling
- Real-time updates
- Works on mobile
It’s not perfect, but it helps reduce the small headaches that pile up every day.
Proof
One team we tried it with went from spending 2 hours on scheduling → about 2 minutes.
It’s small wins like this that make the day easier.
Try It Out
If managing shifts with chats and spreadsheets feels frustrating, you might want to give WeDeploi a try.
No setup needed. Just a simple way to plan shifts and keep things organized.
