Fred Beans Group Deploys in the Kronos Cloud
Kronos
Incorporated today announced that Fred Beans Group has selected its Workforce
Ready suite of solutions deployed in the Kronos
Cloud. Fred Beans selected Workforce Ready, a unified human capital
management suite designed to improve workforce productivity and increase
employee engagement in the cloud.
News Facts
-
A leading automotive dealer offering car sales, services, and repairs
across 23 locations, Fred Beans replaced its previous human capital
management system with Kronos (News - Alert) to gain easy, single access to a
completely automated and integrated solution including time and
attendance, HR, and payroll applications. Also, the Kronos Affordable
Care Act (ACA) management application enables accurate and proactive
management of the regulation across Fred Beans' mix of full- and
part-time associates, comprising 1,500 employees in total.
-
Kronos also offers easy access to strategic reports, simplifying
workflows across departments. The automotive dealer's previous
disparate systems made it difficult to generate reports and access
employee data across departments. Kronos has significantly reduced
administrative time spent on paperwork, allowing managers and
employees to spend more time on business objectives.
-
Previously, Fred Beans was unable to track certifications and
performance reviews, leading to a lack of accountability. With Kronos,
the automotive dealer can create standardized training and review
criteria by job title, assisting its management team in developing
personnel.
-
To further expedite implementation and achieve faster return on
investment, Fred Beans deployed in the Kronos Cloud. By allowing
Kronos to perform all configuration, maintenance, and upgrades of the
solution with the Kronos Cloud, Fred Beans also enables its IT
department to focus on other priorities.
-
For added innovation in how Fred Beans collects time-worked data from
employees, it purchased Kronos InTouch time clocks to provide
employees more control over their time, enabling them to easily check
accrual balances, request time of, and view schedules - all in real
time.
-
Employees now also have access to many self-service tools at their
fingertips, providing them more control over their time worked, time
off, schedules, and other HR information. With access to preferred
scheduling options, mobile self-service, and an equitable application
of standardized workplace policies, Fred Beans employees today feel
more engaged with Kronos.

"Time
spent on inefficient workforce processes can be a challenge when it
comes to managing a dispersed automotive dealership operation. We
needed to replace our previous system for this reason with a fully
integrated solution, providing the right functionality to drive
productivity without burdening our HR and IT departments. The Kronos
Workforce Ready solution is a perfect fit for our needs."

Liz Moughan, senior director, retail and hospitality practice
group, Kronos

same-store sales are critical measures of business success and the
workforce is key for driving the customer loyalty needed. Decision
makers at Fred Beans understand that in an industry where customer
experience and service are of paramount importance, taking a strategic
approach to managing the workforce is critical to success. We remain
committed to helping Fred Beans achieve its business objectives with
improved workforce management and employee engagement."
