Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Greenshades Software is a tool that is being used across the whole organization. It addresses business problems such as managing hours worked, PTO, paystubs, sick time, etc. It allows employees the ability to stay organized and up to date on their work. It also can be used as a valuable resource for supervisors or managers to keep track of the hours that their employees are working.
Pros
  • Requesting Time- Off, which can include PTO and sick time.
  • Managing the hours that you have worked during each pay period.
  • Seeing past pay information.
  • Quick access to W-2.
Cons
  • Better overall website design
  • Easier to edit time slots on timesheet
  • Better notification system for when things need to be approved
Likelihood to Recommend
Greenshades Software is well suited in a business where managers and supervisors may not have the full ability to sit down with each individual employee and manage their hours and time. Greenshades Software provides an easy to use website that is simple and concise. However, there are a few ways that it could be revamped to make it better suited to a larger business.
Return on Investment
  • Easy to use!
  • Very basic. Not much design quality to it.
  • Gets the job done!
Alternatives Considered
In my previous place of employment, we used the Paycom system as our resource for managing hours and time. I do believe that the Paycom system had more privacy and safety aspects implemented with their software. However, Greenshades Software is a very user-friendly website that provides all of the resources that are necessary to do the job well!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Business problems that the Greenshades product addresses is an add on tool for companies that process in house payroll by providing an employee self-service portal that allows for people to change their address, request vacation, view HR documents, change their W-4, and much more. Also, a tax module that helps with filings and payments.
Pros
  • Tax Module
  • Flexible to change when needed
  • Self- Service for Employees
Cons
  • Communication - New product rollouts
  • Billing - Rarely gets this right the first time
  • Timeliness on making year-end submissions available
  • Troubleshooting - New product rollouts
Likelihood to Recommend
Greenshades is well suited for companies that process payroll in house with an ERP system that Greenshades already has a built-in connector for. Greenshades is less suited for in house payroll where a connection is not already built.

Return on Investment
  • More automation
  • streamlined processes
  • audit trials
Alternatives Considered
Selected Greenshades due to the connector that was already built for Dynamics GP and the modules that would help in house payroll be more efficiently processed.
