5 Ways to Change your Current Business Process with Workforce Management Software

November 22nd, 2012 | Posted by Apex Time Solutions in Hosted Time and Attendance System | HRIS | Talent Management | Time Management Solutions | Workforce Management Software - (0 Comments)

In a recent conversation that one of our software representatives had with a potential customer, he revealed his disappointment with the way his company was keeping track of employee time. It turns out that they have been using paper timesheets since the inception of the company some 30 years ago, despite having in excess of 300 employees. Naturally our representative asked why his company had not automated the tracking of employee time and attendance before. The customer’s response, “Our corporate culture has been that we do not want to be seen as untrustworthy of our employees.”

The use of workforce management software is increasing as organizations seek to get an accurate handle on payroll costs while simultaneously improving productivity. Studies by industry giant Canadian Payroll Association have shown that companies who automate their business process with workforce management software have historically decreased the time it takes to prepare payroll by about 80% and have saved companies 3-5% on their net payroll costs.

Maximizing cost-effectiveness and productivity is the goal of a workforce management software, and ATS time attendance solutions provides businesses the tools to measure and monitor employee activities. Our application provides a range of real-time reporting and analysis. HR, payroll professionals and supervisors can perform data discovery by drilling down through the integrated dashboard and reports, which represent attendance-related analytics.

In summary, the ATS Workforce Management Software provides you with access to:

1)       An employee self-service portal for vacation and benefit accruals

2)       Visibility of multiple locations in real-time

3)       Seamless transfer of employee data to payroll, HRIS, Talent Management, ERP and other applications

4)       The ability to access the software from anywhere, anytime in the world

5)       A variety of employee data collectors

Adopting Business Automation in the Era of Austerity Measures

May 3rd, 2012 | Posted by Apex Time Solutions in Absence Management | Business Software Automation | Employee Time Attendance | Hospitality Industry | Payroll | Retail | Scheduling | Workforce Management Software - (0 Comments)

To say that the recent economic crisis of 2008 touched every country in the world is a gross understatement. While some countries fared somewhat better than others, there is overwhelming evidence that many countries are still feeling the effects of the financial crisis. For example, in North America the manufacturing sector and several other industries, have been decimated and leaving millions of people out of work. This economic downturn has forced many companies to take a serious look at the many advantages afforded by business automation software.  Manually tracking employee hours through time sheets is not only a waste of resources but unintended errors can cut into a company’s profit margin.

An ATS time and attendance solution is tailored to meet the challenges companies face in the areas of: forecasting, employee scheduling, labour analytics and attendance management. Whether your industry is hospitality, manufacturing, retail or healthcare, our workforce management software is designed to meet those needs and improve business productivity.

Here are three ways our software solution can help your company:

Information in Real-Time: Companies need the latest data so they can determine how to reduce costs while maintaining productivity. ATS time and attendance provides instant visibility and enhanced reporting to help you make informed decisions about your labour force.

Functionality and Scalability: ATS time and attendance software helps organizations automate clocking and streamlines employee time tracking, while communicating with operational departments throughout the payroll process. Our modular solution is scalable and allows companies to activate additional functions as their business and number of employees grows.

Integrated Solution: ATS fully integrated time and attendance solution combines performance into one powerful system—improving efficiency and effectiveness as well as generating critical business intelligence.
