Incorporated today revealed the latest workforce applications
available for the Kronos (News - Alert) InTouch™ time clock. The latest workforce

workforce.
News Facts
-
With the InTouch App Platform, Kronos partners, customers, and
third-party developers can easily create and share unique workforce
applications for the award-winning InTouch time clock, which uses a
touch screen, graphical interface, and cloud-ready architecture to
deliver an unprecedented level of personalization.
-
Kronos offers an InTouch software developer kit to allow developers to
write their own workforce applications in the device's web browser
interface.
-
The latest InTouch workforce applications include:
-
Wayfinder (News - Alert) - Helps employees easily find their way to their
work location, using floor plan maps and layouts available on the
InTouch device. Employees, especially those within a large,
multi-building complex or that need to report to different
locations within their work day or work week, use the Wayfinder
application to quickly pinpoint a designated work station or
identify the location of their manager or team. Developed by
Axsium Group, a workforce management consultant.
-
EnrollMe - Gives employees the ability to join their
employer's healthcare plan during the open enrollment period using
the InTouch device, eliminating the need for time-consuming forms
for each employee. The EnrollMe application gives employees easy
access to information that allows them to compare and contrast
plan options and guides them through the process to ensure a
simple and seamless open enrollment. Developed by The WFC Group, a
workforce management implementation consultant.
-
Employee Survey - Allows an employer to host a survey to
solicit and capture employee feedback such as finding out who will
attend the company picnic or surveying employees about their
benefit options. The Employee Survey application booss employee
engagement, increases worker satisfaction, and makes a more
productive work environment. Developed by Kronos.
-
Other popular workforce applications for the InTouch App Platform
include Quick Charge, which provides the ability to order lunch
from the company cafeteria, for delivery or pick-up. Payment for lunch
can be deducted directly from the worker's paycheck, making ordering
lunch a quick and painless, cash-free transaction. Developed by MM
Hayes, developer and vendor of workforce management solutions.

Customers interested in taking advantage of these breakthrough
applications should contact the developer or partner directly.

notification and messaging tool, and information kiosk all rolled into
one."
