Sling

Sling is a free employee scheduling, shift planning, and team communication platform designed for non-desk and hourly workforces in industries such as restaurants, retail, and healthcare. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York — with a development office in Reykjavik, Iceland — Sling enables managers to build shift schedules, manage time-off and shift-trade requests, send team messages, share company news, and assign checklists, all within a single mobile and web application. The platform was built by a team with decades of programming and design experience, initially launched with a vision of maximizing workforce mobility in non-desk industries. Sling targets small to mid-sized businesses seeking to eliminate the need for juggling multiple scheduling and communication tools.
