CTR Secure Services
Scheduling 100+ technicians to customer sites and recording timesheets

"I'd just like to say that Papershift has been amazing for us at CTR. It has really helped with scheduling and saves time as before we had multiple paper folders and excel sheets that were a nightmare!

It's been great also as it has allowed people to work from home! Which is a plus at the minute.

But honestly, after using it now for a few months, we wouldn't know what to do without it.
Thanks so much for your help when setting it all up and answering my hundreds of questions, much appreciated."
