This Manufacturer Made the Switch from Kronos to WorkForce Software

The Need

  • With 40,000 users across 275 sites and 300 business units—ranging from unionized to non-union, salaried, and non-exempt—this manufacturer previously used a mix of Kronos, Workbrain, and Infotronics systems.
  • They required a more agile and scalable solution to quickly respond to pay policy and time management practices given its highly unionized environment with over 100 local requirements.

The Solution

  • They selected WorkForce due to its ability to effectively handle their complex requirements.
  • The solution allows for rapid adaptability in policy changes and offers an advanced system of record for data, essential for maintaining accuracy across various locations and conditions.
  • The Clock Attestation functionality was crucial to comply with internal policies so that all time data is accurately captured and reported.
  • The solution’s end-to-end service model, along with strong consultative support, helped to minimize data siloes and improve cooperation across teams.

The Benefits of Switching

  • Accurate pay and time-off
  • Significantly improved worker user experience
  • Technology consolidation to a unified system
  • Standardized processes across business units
  • Decreased compliance risk

Looking Ahead: WorkForce Software Will Continue Leading the Way

According to Nucleus, the workforce management market will grow more competitive as companies focus on their complex requirements. With the need to consolidate technology, solution providers will need to offer scalable, highly configurable functionality that is easy for frontline workers to use. WorkForce’s ability to adapt and innovate based on detailed customer needs, combined with its user-friendly interface, will likely keep it ahead of the competition.
