.com), a subsidiary of WebApps, Inc., and leading provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) with a major push in Workforce Management Solutions, equips Express Data Systems, Inc. (EDS) with advanced reporting features from its time and labor management application. Employers can run reports on employees, projects, departments and the overall organization to gain a clear picture of where time and labor are being allocated.

In any type of business, knowing how and where employees are spending time is important to creating a more efficient and effective organization. "Being able to look in and get more information out of a time and labor management application than just an employee was here from X to Y is essential," stated Jennifer Scotese, President of EDS. "For example, we have client in the health care industry that treats patients in their homes. This client can run reports to see how much time each of its employees are spending at any given patient's location. With this information, the supervisors can easily determine who their most efficient employees are, and schedule them for more hours or send them to more locations over other employees."

Reporting proves beneficial to many different aspects of time and labor management, in particular, job costing. "We have a lot of clients that tell us they want to set up one rate for visiting patients and another rate for administrative duties," said Scotese. "Again, clients want this functionality so they can determine the effectiveness of employees. If an employee is spending more time on administrative duties and less time with patients, the employee simply isn't generating much profit for the company."

Supervisors can be restricted by levels of access and rights to information in reports within the application. "We already have clients that need payroll packaged separately for each supervisor. The access rights within this application are a huge bonus because they prohibit supervisors from seeing information on employees who they don't directly manage," explained Scotese.

"Overall, the amount of information an employer can gain from his or her staff through the 50 plus reports available is extremely impressive. The insight achieved on where profitability can be improved and how a smarter overall business can be accomplished are virtually endless," stated Scotese.
