Support Rating

The vendors were good with collaboration, they were always available and were responsive. But coming from the technical side, I felt that getting to the right technical resource to get the questions answered took a bit of time. But once you find them it's a breeze.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Kronos Workforce Ready is used by small groups of our employee population with mobile time and attendance needs who are not big enough for a Kronos Workforce Central implementation.

Pros and Cons

The mobile option to badge in and out is particularly useful for employees on the road.
Ease of configuration makes the implementation fast and simple - perfect for a fast paced environment.
REST based APIs for integration with easy template based configuration makes change management a breeze.

Time and attendance system needs profiles in pay, security, and leave areas to name a few. The configuration rules to map demographic data to these profiles is very cumbersome.
The REST based APIs while simple to use do not do the profile mapping while doing the imports.

Return on Investment

Reduction in payroll errors
Traceability of pay and time data
Flexible for changes in rules

Alternatives Considered

We currently use Kronos Workforce central for normal business and it's extremely bulky and takes a long time (6-9 months) to implement.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would definitely suggest this for people who are on the road, who are looking for fast implementation with relatively simpler rules for smaller group of employees. I would not suggest for a medium to large population since I do not believe that the integration capabilities are mature enough for a large population.
