"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 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."

"Employee scheduling is a process that has been significantly improved since implementing Softworks. Before Softworks, the schedule was done manually through a very tedious and time-consuming process.
