Deskless & Frontline Employees

Frontline employee feedback software for deskless teams

Most of your workforce never sits at a desk, so email surveys miss them. Press'nXPress asks one quick, anonymous question where they already are - the break room, the time clock, the staff entrance - and shows each manager what their team needs.

Use cases

What frontline employers use Press'nXPress for

Start with one site or department, then add the rest on the same dashboard.

From feedback to fixed

Low Scores Become Work Orders, Alerts and Verified Fixes

When feedback points to a problem on site, Action Hub opens a work order for that location, alerts the right person and keeps the clock running until the fix is confirmed.

  2. Work order openedAssigned to the person who owns that location, reason attached.
  3. Alert sentBy SMS, email or WhatsApp, with delivery tracked.

Ways to collect

The right collector for each workplace

People stay where they're heard

Frontline staff rarely quit over one big thing. It's the broken equipment nobody fixed, the short-staffed weekends and the feeling that nobody asked. Hearing about those things every week - and fixing them - is how teams keep good people.

  • Spot struggling teams before people resign
  • Show staff that what they report gets fixed
  • Give every manager their own team's view

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I collect anonymous feedback from deskless and frontline workers?

Put a one-question terminal or tablet in the break room, at the time clock or by the staff entrance, and add QR codes and SMS for staff on the move. No email, app or login is needed, and answers are anonymous by default.

How does employee feedback help reduce employee turnover?

Short, frequent check-ins show which sites, shifts and departments are struggling - with workload, equipment, safety or management - while there's still time to act. Fixing those issues, and telling staff what changed, is what keeps people from leaving.

What is the typical response rate for employee feedback with Press'nXPress?

Press'nXPress sees more than a 45% feedback response rate thanks to its simple, quick and anonymous collection approach, compared with the low completion rates of long annual surveys.

Can frontline employees raise a problem that needs fixing, not just give a score?

Yes. A low rating can be followed by a reason such as equipment, safety, staffing or supplies, and that report opens a work order for the right team, so staff see that speaking up gets things fixed.

Does this replace our annual engagement survey?

It complements it. The annual survey covers big-picture topics; short pulse questions show how each site and shift is doing week by week, for the people who rarely sit at a desk.
