ClickSoftware's Shift Expert Named a Hot Workplace App for 2015


BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, February 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

As the enterprise moves to leverage wearables for efficiency, safety and better customer service in the field, a short list of apps that can meet those challenges are available today. One of those apps is ClickSoftware's (NasdaqGS: CKSW) ShiftExpert, which was named as a hot workplace app for 2015 by a representative from Deloitte Digital in an interview with CNBC. The app enables employees to instantly clock in and out of shifts and add data to time sheets. Employees are also able to trade shifts, manage vacations and view overtime, all from a smartwatch or mobile device.  And the smartwatch can even count the number of steps during a shift.

"Being the market leader in optimizing service operations, we leveraged our decades of experience to create ShiftExpert in a way that directly addresses today's challenges - from improving customer experience, compliance and safety regulations to workforce efficiencies," said Sassi Idan, VP Products and Solutions at ClickSoftware. "Wearables are now playing an integral part in our product development roadmap."

ShiftExpert enables users to: 

  • Use the app with the Samsung Gear 2 to clock in and out of work or update timesheets right from the wrist. The watch sensors record distance traveled per shift and summarizes info for daily timesheet.
  • Automate planning and execution of shifts for employees across different departments.
  • Control overtime costs and quickly react to exceptions.
  • Increase employee satisfaction by incorporating emloyee working preferences, shift trades and vacation requests into the work plan.
