Gilded Balloon x Deputy: Scheduling, Peace of Mind and Structure at Edinburgh Fringe During the Fringe’s 75th anniversary, Deputy successfully supported Gilded Balloon, one of Scotland’s leading and best-loved entertainment production companies, manage its fleet of shift workers over the course of three hectic, manic, and very fun August weeks in Edinburgh. “Deputy as an app has been really helpful. What I like about Deputy is that it’s very simple and straightforward to use. It’s really helpful for working out people’s breaks. It’s a great relief when you’re two hours into a very busy day to look at the app and see you’ve got backup coming. Deputy gives me structure and clarity in an environment of chaos,” says Matthew Pearson, Front of House Supervisor at Gilded Balloon. “The positive impact Deputy has on my work day is that it makes me feel organised - not just for my work day, but for the week ahead as well. There’s no awkward system of having to run through email accounts and try to find where I am or try to manually clock in on a calendar. I can just open up my phone, open up the app and I can see exactly the full week right there, right in front of me,” says Vanessa Byrne, Front of House Staff at Gilded Balloon.
