“I got buy in from managers in all areas of the company and this has helped ensure employees have had no issues with the system.”
"This is the most beneficial aspect of the system as we can see immediately who is late and issues regarding attendance can be dealt with in real time."
“We have identified that the system will only take 2.8 years to pay for itself when all the sites are live.”
"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.”
"Between taking the timesheets and putting them up on the system, checking back, right through to making payments all added up to a full day’s work. Going forward we’re hoping to see that process and time reduced significantly."
"Overall, we were very happy with the project. Our project manager was consistently available via email or telephone and taught us patiently how to be self-sufficient and confident with the new system. In terms of training, it was very educational."
“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 we have got a good, user friendly solution that has delivered what it said it would.”
“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.”
“My first impression of the system was that it just looked so easy to use and user-friendly.”
“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.”
“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.”
"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."
"The System helps us to manage our payroll and HR functions more efficiently, saving both time and money. From a management perspective the reports produced give timely, accurate and relevant information to enable us to make better business decisions."
