3 Reasons Why Employers Are Requiring Single Platform Workforce Management Solutions

Integration, Single-system, Workforce Management, HCM, Employers, ACA

You’re almost guaranteed to hear on any software demonstration the word “integration”, but what does that mean? Put simply, integration means having Software A and Software B exchange data between the two, though integrations do not have to be limited to just two systems.

Companies using multiple software solutions, such as HR, payroll, and time and attendance, are now demanding that these technologies be integrated. This has forced the software developers with disparate solutions to cobble together connections between their products, while developers with solutions on a single platform are already offering real time data integration. Integration sounds nice, but wouldn’t it be even better if all of your applications existed on a single platform that has been created to work together seamlessly? The great news is that this capability already exists!

In this blog article, we thought that it would be important to talk with employers to discuss exactly why having a single system is so important for their businesses and how they have experienced the power of a single-platform solution.

1. They now know that a single-platform solution is not only available, it is affordable.
A single system suite of all the needed workforce management solutions is not a new concept in the marketplace today. In fact, they’ve been utilized for years now by the enterprise corporations that saw the benefits and could afford the high price tag that came with them. But as technology has evolved, this deeper level of functionality has been made available to small and midsized businesses (SMBs) at a price they can actually afford.

Now that these SMBs are “seeing the light” on the benefits of multiple applications on a single platform, they’re beginning to demand these fully embodied solutions as a prerequisite. Service providers without the ability to offer this are simply unable to compete with those that can, and service providers offering single-platform solutions are in a unique position to grow market share and mind share within their space.

2. Drives easier and more efficient decision making with reliable data.
Data integrity is everything. You have data for a reason; it’s going to inform decisions that you’re making in your business. If you have the same data residing in multiple places, there’s always an opportunity for data to get out of sync and for it to be wrong in one or multiple of those places. When that’s the case, and you’re consulting one of those systems, you’re pulling the wrong data and making decisions based on the wrong information.

When data takes time to flow between disparate solutions, businesses are unable to get an instant snapshot of their workforce and make decisions on the fly. Having all of your information on a single platform also helps with efficiency by removing the need for data exporting, importing, duplicate data entry, as well as separate resources, software, and multiple logins. Clients simply access one solution sharing data across all of their applications.

3. Creates a competitive advantage and helps with compliance.
Through a more efficient system with reliable data, businesses with single-platform solutions are simply able to operate at a higher level than those with disparate solutions. If you had the choice between being able to proactively manage your business on the fly as changes and obstacles occur, or having to wait a day or two in order to make reactionary changes, which would you want to use? This example shows exactly how businesses with a single workforce management solution can easily gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Are you concerned about managing your Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance? A single suit of solutions enables businesses to analyze real-time labor data and make the necessary changes to ensure they remain compliant before issues arise. Workforce management solutions such as these are the best way to manage your workforce in today’s world of employment, and we’re seeing that the ACA is especially responsible for driving the demand for single-platform solutions on the workforce management front.
