The product is easy to view and understand by our team and new features and improvements are constantly being made. It was more simplified and easy to go from this from a spreadsheet, other alternatives almost felt too complex

Before we used surfboard, I don’t think anyone understood our inflow and capacity as they do now. The spreadsheets we used to manage this in the past were clunky, broken and slow to put together

Overall I’ve enjoyed this experience. The automation of tasking based on prior inbound tickets is a lifesaver. It takes the guesswork out of scheduling peoples’ weeks and ensures they’re where they need to be for our customers

I love that it does most of the heavy lifting, meaning I can concentrate more on other tasks than having to monotonously schedule each day out, it gives me a lot of time back.
