News Facts
-
One of the nation's largest motion picture exhibitors, Carmike Cinemas
is a U.S. leader in digital cinema and 3-D cinema deployments.
Operating 270 theaters with 2,882 screens across 41 states, Carmike
continues to grow, and chose to deploy in the Kronos Cloud so it can
easily integrate processes with newly acquired cinemas. As a result,
Kronos will perform all configuration, maintenance, upgrades, and
support of the workforce management solution, enabling the IT
department of Carmike Cinemas to focus on other business priorities.
-
By replacing a mix of systems as well as manual processes with
automated Kronos time and attendance, employee scheduling, and mobile
applications, Carmike Cinemas will standardize processes and gain
real-time visibility into critical labor data.
-
An automated workforce management solution will also help Carmike
Cinemas more accurately manage compliance with complex labor laws and
regulations that vary across cities and states including overtime,
meal breaks, and sickness-related reporting.
-
The movie theater company's workforce will also gain easy access to
data through online and mobile applications. This will allow managers
to spend less time in the back office and more time addressing
customer needs with the ability to approve timecards as well as
time-off requests from their mobile devices. Employees can also simply
go online or check their mobile devices to view their schedules and
other information. All of these benefits are expected to increase
Carmike Cinemas' employee engagement and productivity, leading to
improved customer satisfaction.
-
Kronos was selected after a thorough evaluation of competing vendors
and was chosen based on its market reputation and industry-specific
features andfunctionality, helping address both business and employee
needs.
