Best Workforce Management Solutions December 2020
It seems like a crowded space, but we like 3 of the main workforce management software in the market and call out their strengths and weaknesses below.
Forget excel spreadsheets, the disruptors are all in one HR solutions; websites where you can easily do workforce planning, time keeping, process payroll with one click and see who’s on the tools (or most importantly off the tools). The software either does it all for you, or integrates with third party HR applications and allow labor demand forecasting, scheduling, reporting on and attendance tracking.
But they are very different in their approach and pricing also differs.
The top options are: Replicon PSA (end-to-end Time Management software and services to enterprises of all sizes), Toggl Track (online tracking for freelancers, consultants, and small companies) and Humanity (leading cloud-based employee scheduling platform).
