"We were very paper heavy and implementing Softworks has cut that down significantly. Prior to Softworks we were constantly chasing staff to do manual timesheets, have them signed and sent to HR for filing. Staff would email an annual leave request sheet to their manager and this would also need to be sent to HR. Managers would need to keep track of where staff were, etc. Softworks has completely eliminated this admin work. Managers simply have more time to actually do real work rather than chase staff for admin."
"Probably the best NCHD eRostering package in Ireland."
"We operate quite a complex sick leave arrangement that’s loosely based on the public sector model and found that tracking this and other types of leave became more complex as the organisation got bigger. We needed a system to manage this for us."
“We see ourselves as pioneers and Softworks appeared to be an innovative company, committed to continual improvements and one which would grow with us. We were confident that ClockWise had the ability to handle all of our complex rules and felt it was the right choice.”
"During the pilot, items cropped up that we hadn’t anticipated, such as needing additional fields. The great thing was, I could usually make changes in the system configuration myself or approach the Softworks Project Manager who would help me find where to make the change or even make the change for me. The system is just so agile. It worked really well."
"Gold Care Homes had a Time and Attendance system in place, but as our organisation grew the system was no longer able to manage our requirements. We were spending a significant amount of time manually administering employee Time, Attendance and Rostering for our 2,000 employees across our 24 care homes which was both time-consuming and inefficient."
”I think from each employee’s point of view it gives them more control over their time. It also frees up line managers as employees are effectively managing their own time and attendance. Overall, I believe that the Softworks system has benefited the entire hospital and has delivered tangible results in terms of enhanced payroll, rostering and time management effectiveness.”
“Since Softworks was implemented response to the system has been excellent. We took time to explain it to employees and the unions, and everybody is happy with it. We explained when we took the old system out that if, at any time, we felt the trust system was being abused we would re-implement a time recording system.”
"We found Softworks to be open, flexible and very enthusiastic about the project. We pushed some of the functionality in Softworks to the absolute limit in relation to managing our complex rostering requirements."
“There have been huge savings across the board and I foresee many more savings in the future as Softworks grows and evolves with the NIHE.”
“If I were to move on to another company, which didn’t have a T&A system, I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Softworks with me.”
“It has basically tightened up everything that was missing before. The old system caused so many problems no one liked using it, overtime and hours were missed causing errors and disgruntled employees. If an error does occur now it’s a rare event. Problems just don’t happen now, the system is well worth the money.”
"We have very much enjoyed our journey to date with Softworks and look forward to working with them for many years in the future."
“I have seen other systems, and they couldn’t have done what we wanted them to. We are a rapidly expanding company, and the Softworks system will grow with us. The personal relationship we have established between the two companies is great. And I would have no hesitation in recommending the system to any company.”
“We also purchased the option to use data capture on the shop-floor, which is a future aspect – we wanted a system that will grow with us. Softworks was the right product at the right price, and it has definitely made us more efficient.”
