A When I Work Case Study
Compost Pedallers is a 16-person Austin-based social enterprise that uses local bicyclists to collect compostable material and reduce the city’s carbon footprint. Relying on Google Calendar, managers had no reliable way to capture part-time availability or confirm who actually showed up on time, leading to dropped or swapped shifts and frustration across the team.
They implemented When I Work’s mobile scheduling and GPS-based clock-in so staff can update availability, acknowledge shifts, and clock in within a set radius. Managers trained quickly via tutorials, cutting 4–5 hours a week on swap/drop processing, receiving late-clock-in alerts, and improving communication—resulting in a more efficient, accountable, and happier team poised for growth.
