56 Softworks Testimonials

"I just wanted to compliment Softworks and to say a big thank you from us. Your trainer Katie came in and completed a half-day training session with two of our team. They said they had never enjoyed or gotten more from a training session. Katie was so well prepared in advance, very knowledgeable and imparted that knowledge in a user-friendly, enjoyable manner."

“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 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."

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

“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 chose Softworks because having spoken with a number of companies and with my own experience of competitors HR packages I felt that Softworks would be the best solution provider to D.I.D Electrical. From the outset, Softworks were more professional in their approach to the sales pitch, the demonstration and the all round customer care. At D.I.D Electrical our core purpose is to “Create Customer Loyalty by Delivering Superior Customer Service” – Softworks computing, thus far, have delivered superior customer service so a partnership between both market leaders is the logical conclusion.”

“This has been clearly evidenced by the reduction in payroll employees, and the time it takes to administer the payroll. Previously there were three in the payroll department, but one left shortly before the introduction of the new system. This person has not been replaced, and whereas it used to take those three people three days to do the payroll when they all worked flat out, it now only takes one day. The margin for error has also been considerably reduced because it is now fully automated.”

"Our original system didn’t have HR functionality. I knew I wanted that in our new system. I also needed a system that was very robust with easy reporting. I wanted to be able to quickly download reports."

"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."

"We had become aware that there were many indirect costs associated with absenteeism such as staffing, scheduling, re-training, lost productivity etc. and we wanted to find out exactly what these costs are, in each location. The extensive reporting capabilities of the system will give us access to attendance information and allow us to determine the reasons for absenteeism and its associated costs."

"We have a lot of complex break rules so we worked closely with the Softworks Project Manager to ensure the system was configured to meet our specific needs. The system works the way we want it to work for us."

“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 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.”

“We talked to a number of providers. Some did far more than we needed and were potentially more costly. Some gave the impression it was up to us to figure out whether their software would work for us. Softworks, in contrast, explained exactly how their system could use our Time and Attendance data in combination with work and pay rules to ensure drivers were paid correctly. Softworks were also happy to configure the system to deliver precisely what we needed.”
