First deployment of Tomax Retail.net® Time and Attendance solution
Salt Lake City, UT, February 11, 2005… Tomax Corporation is pleased to announce the first deployment of the new Retail.net Time and Attendance (TA) solution. Felpausch Food Centers is working with Tomax to deploy this solution across their twenty-store grocery chain. The Retail.net TA solution will complement existing Retail.net modules for long-term budgeting and planning, labor forecasting, staff scheduling, and labor visibility.
Retail.net TA is a solution designed specifically for retailers, from the simplest capture of hours worked to automatic application of complex pay rules. It will provide Felpausch store managers with quick and easy-to-use tools that help maximize labor resources. These tools include exception-based editing and timecard approval that streamline the weekly payroll process, and proactive alerts and workflow notifications that identify business situations needing manager intervention and then suggest the recommended action.
“It`s our largest controllable expense. Having had success with Tomax` scheduling solution for several years, when we found out that they were building Time and Attendance as part of their Workforce Management solution we had to see it. Knowing the competition, we are impressed with what we see in the new Retail.net Time and Attendance solution,” says Michael Hubert, CIO for Felpausch.
“We eliminate the integration between our time and attendance and scheduling products. Instead, we offer an organically developed single solution that is more efficient and focused than competitive approaches based on component integration,” says Randy Park, Vice President of Workforce Solutions for Tomax.
Breakthrough Pay Rules Engine
To provide immediate value to our customers, Tomax has created a pay rules engine enabling retailers to tailor pay rules to their exacting requirements. This process does not require custom programming or configuration management, or the accompanying overhead and complexity. Each pay rule is effective-dated, allowing the development of complex, scheduled pay rules management.
Latest Architecture, Thin-client Deployment
The Retail.net Time and Attendance solution uses state-of-the-art architecture and software design, continuing Tomax` leadership in creating web-based solutions that can scale to the needs of the largest retailers. This includes a commitment to delivering all Tomax Retail.net solutions in a thin-client deployment model. As a result, Tomax customers can enjoy thin-client lifecycle cost savings and ownership advantages. The entire solution is based on the standard J2EE software development model representing the most advanced, scalable workforce solution available to retailers today.
