Workforce Management, Minus the Headaches
Not all workers in your company punch a clock. They work on different projects throughout the day in different stages of completion. Maybe they work at multiple locations or are commissioning projects at customer plants all over the continent. The right tool will allow you to capture all of this labor in a way that’s appropriate.
Every company tracks employee time, but in a company specializing in Robotics or Industrial Automation, this can get a little tricky.
Your employees may not work a typical eight-hour shift, but you still must account for their time. And you have to ensure those labor costs are applied to the correct project, so you know how much each project truly costs.
For project-focused companies, a “punch-clock” workforce is rare. Instead, these companies must deal with a mixed bag of time card workers, task-oriented time sheets and white-collar, executive time, all applied to specific projects. Often, each worker tracks time to multiple jobs in a single day. This doesn’t just complicate matters for accounting, it’s complicated for the workforce as well, resulting in errors and missed time.
When using an ERP with labour integration features, project manufacturing firms can track time to a project via traditional clock in/out time-cards right from the shop floor or use project management friendly time sheets, meeting the needs of all staff in one application.
It isn’t magic, it’s just part of ERP management software designed to accomodate projects!
