Internet-based Workforce Management Tool

A new Internet-based business software tool called eRoster is designed to enable businesses in labor-intensive industries to improve performance and productivity by generating efficient and effective employee work schedules.

The provider states that regardless of organization size, number of sites, or employee job functions, the tool can help companies accurately forecast customer demand, project staffing requirements, and generate shift-based schedules. The software forecasting and scheduling wizards and simple-to-navigate help screens. In addition, it can be linked to time and attendance, payroll and POS systems to support management decision-making and monitor productivity.

The software also includes ‘RosterMail' internal messaging to support communication among staff and accommodate employee shift, swap and time off requests. Because the tool is available over the Internet, employees can post change request and review work schedules remotely.

To access the tool, all that is required is a monthly subscription fee based on the number of employees scheduled and a web browser. All-day customer service via toll-free telephone, online chat or email is included in pricing.

The tool is supported by a fully secure hosted environment with real-time hot mirroring and backup. Security measures also include SSL support, user identification and optional Virtual Private Network (VPN) support to provide secure access to client data.
