Mohawk Fine Papers Selects Kronos® Hosted Solution with Managed Services
CHELMSFORD, Mass., Dec. 2, 2010 — Mohawk Fine Papers, Inc., a long-time Kronos® Incorporated customer, has migrated to the Kronos hosted versions of HR and payroll, time and attendance, and absence management software to achieve greater flexibility, scalability, and business efficiency.
News Facts
- With Kronos hosting and managed services, Mohawk's HR, payroll, and IT staff are no longer responsible for maintaining, supporting, and managing the software and are able to devote more time to concentrating on projects that are important to the company's strategic business goals.
- As the market for fine papers changes, Mohawk is looking for ways to diversify its company, often through acquisitions. Kronos enables Mohawk to easily and seamlessly add acquired companies to the Kronos platform.
- The Kronos environment automates the process of time management from start to finish. Time and schedules are managed via a web browser and timecard data is captured accurately and securely from the manufacturing shop floor, shared with payroll, and automatically linked to paycheck creation.
- The Kronos hosting and managed services offering delivers greater security than Mohawk's previous, non-hosted environment. From the transmission of data to password protection and backup, The Managed Services team at Kronos provides an added layer of support and is able to contribute to and support business objectives. Kronos application management services also enable Mohawk to have on-demand availability for functional administration needs at the application layer.
