Kronos Debuts Workforce Central 6.1 in India

Kronos India has announced the availability of version 6.1 of its Workforce Central suite in India.

Workforce Central 6.1 provides executives with greater visibility into their global workforce, enabling them to identify critical business issues. The new version includes hundreds of features and new enhancements.

Talking to CXOtoday, James Thomas, country manager, India, said, "At Kronos we've developed a unique perspective on what it takes for an organization to successfully deploy a workforce management solution. Our belief is that integrated workforce management in real time doesn't have to be so hard, and that organizations shouldn't have to trade functionality for simplicity. Workforce Central strikes an ideal balance of deep functionality combined with a range of ease-of-deployment, ease-of-use and cost-of-ownership enhancements."

Kronos helps organizations control labor costs, minimize compliance risk, and improve workforce productivity all at the same time centrally in real time, Thomas said. "These are important business issues in normal times, and even more during tough economic times."

Workforce Central 6.1 supports India's Factories Act and Shops and Establishment Act, whereby manufacturers and services organizations are required to maintain time-related registers and statutory reports for employees.

To help organizations comply with these regulations and minimize compliance risk, Workforce Central 6.1 provides legislated working time reports, as well as new features to monitor overtime and time-based pay codes on a daily and hourly basis.

The new enhancements in Workforce Central 6.1 includes: Enhanced ERP integration; Low total cost of ownership (TCO); Complete automation; Global ready; Machine resource tracking and Advanced scheduling.
