AT&T Workforce Manager vs. Workmate

Any organization that is collecting any kind of data in the field, especially if they're using paper forms, should strongly consider switching to AT&T if only for their Wireless Forms. Wireless Forms is the most powerful tool in AT&T Workforce Manager. Combine that with Timekeeping and Intelligent Tracking to really improve efficiency and accountability.

As a supervisor this software is a big help for us to be able to make a proper tracking of our task force, without interfering or being over the shoulder, the variety of options available is great, while I had no full control of the software by company regulations I was able to use it in specific for the managing of the shifts and performance of our teams.

• Wireless Forms gives users the ability to digitize any paper form. You can include text, number, camera, audio, and bar codes, among other fields.
• Intelligent tracking provides a location any time a user is moving or performs any action.
• Robust reporting provides actionable data that organizations can use to make strategic decisions regarding their fleet and workforce.

• The employee time tracking function has allowed us to minimize and even avoid payroll errors.
• We also find the tracking of vacations and absences great, so we can easily find replacements for those jobs.
• Payroll management is very good, it helped us to keep control of finances and to have everything in order with the administrative department.

• It is currently not possible to create mass geofence alerts. Alerts need to be created per geofence. This can be a big undertaking for organizations with many addresses.

The training came from one of our associates it was not directly from a Workmate employee, however, it was good enough to let us understand it, and the person who gave us the training was open to ask questions even after the training ended, however as it was really easy to use, we only contacted him for small details.

It was not my decision to use it, it was the software available for that current campaign in the company, being honest while both of them are excellent to work with, the design in OnShift is more user friendly, most of my colleagues were in agreement with that, as for Workmate, it was really helpful but some times we were confused by the user interface, it wasn't very negative but it really gets on your nerves.

• With AT&T Workforce Manager I've helped government and private organizations save money by identifying idle time in fleets, reducing data collection time in the field, and cutting on employees padding their timesheets.

• The learning curve is a bit slow at the beginning and we needed some time and several weeks to adapt to the system.
• We have also had to use external technical support because we have had no response from Workmate technical support.
• It has made it easier for us in the HR department, which means faster work in less time.
