“My first impression of the system was that it just looked so easy to use and user-friendly.”

“We wanted to maintain our friendly and flexible culture but with improvements in terms of efficiency for everyone. Employees can clock, view their rosters and request holidays on their mobiles, it’s giving them more management over their time off.”

“We worked with the Softworks Project Manager to set up a methodology for testing our work rules and initially went live with 80 drivers to make sure it worked. We then rolled it out to our core group of drivers.”

“When we first saw a demonstration of the system, we felt this was a system that we needed and could easily use. The menus are very clear and the links flow logically. While it wasn’t the cheapest system we looked at, I believe you get what you pay for and …

"Our system was paper-based and it was a concern to ensure we were staying on top of time tracking in case of an inspection. This becomes very onerous when you’re trying to do your day-to-day job. Using Softworks to record employee time and attendance makes sense and takes this pressure …

"Overall we are very happy with the Softworks system in full as it provides a much quicker and more accurate way of controlling everything from clock-in to wages pay out and storing Personnel information. We are now looking at one screen instead of trawling through pages of printed material."

The extensive reporting capabilities of the system will give us access to attendance information and …

"Softworks were selected as their Workforce Management Solution delivered in terms of features, functionality and business pay rules automation to meet our requirements."

“It’s a very powerful system and there’s a lot more we can learn. Once the system has been up and running for a few years, we expect to see a considerable return.”

“We were very impressed with Softworks as they really listened to our requirements and worked with us to suggest solutions that would best fit our needs. Because of the nature of our business we have very specific scheduling requirements.“

"The most important thing was that the Softworks Account Manager and Project Manager were able to come up with solutions. A lot of companies say they need to think about it, with Softworks the solution is ready there."

"With Softworks we are saving hours and hours of lieu time calculations. It is now the responsibility of each employee to manage their own flexi time, absences and holidays. With the introduction of Softworks, employees can now check their own holiday and flexi balances thereby reducing queries back and forth …

“We have identified that the system will only take 2.8 years to pay for itself when all the sites are live.”
