Kronos® Mobile Scheduling Application Wins Product Innovation Award
CHELMSFORD, Mass., April 21, 2010 — Kronos® Incorporated today announced that its mobile scheduling application, Workforce Mobile™ Scheduler, has won a 2010 Product Innovation Award from Network Products Guide, a leading information technology research and advisory resource.
News Facts
- Workforce Mobile Scheduler streamlines the process of filling open shifts, transforming what had been a time-consuming process that required managers to individually call staff in an attempt to resolve shortfalls. Now, managers can easily send shift requests to multiple employees at once via text (SMS), Interactive Voice Response (IVR), and email to any mobile phone including the iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, and others. Employees can use familiar mobile technology to quickly accept or decline shifts.
- Workforce Mobile Scheduler is integrated with Kronos' employee scheduling application, so shift requests automatically follow an organization's defined business rules, and employee schedules and timecards are automatically updated.
