Kronos Accommodates Mobile Workers by Introducing Support for PDAs

Kronos introduces iSeries MobileTime; Latest in series of interaction methods for mobile, geographically dispersed workers

In a move that will further simplify labor data collection for remote workers, Kronos(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: KRON), the leading provider of frontline labor management solutions, today introduced support for personal digital assistants (PDAs). Kronos iSeries MobileTime is designed to provide Kronos customers with one more option for capturing valuable labor data from employees.

"An organization that can receive, track and analyze labor data efficiently and quickly - even from far-flung business locations and employees - has a competitive advantage," said Barry Moore, Kronos vice president and Kronos iSeries division manager. "The release of the Kronos iSeries MobileTime solution for handheld devices directly correlates with Kronos' commitment to reaching every type of worker regardless of job type or work style."

Historically, remote workers logged their time data with paper and pen, which a supervisor hand-delivered back to home base for payroll processing. With access to frontline labor management functionality embedded into handheld devices these workers can now quickly and efficiently enter their labor against project codes or cost centers, giving frontline managers increased insight regarding the status of work orders. "In essence, Kronos iSeries MobileTime is a productivity enhancer for remote workers," continued Moore.

Kronos iSeries MobileTime, which is currently available, is designed for use with the Kronos iSeries Central suite of frontline labor management products. Using Kronos iSeries MobileTime, employees or supervisors can wirelessly access the Kronos application via a PDA device that supports the Palm OS platform. Kronos iSeries MobileTime also includes workflow technology capable of proactively alerting frontline managers of potential issues that may require immediate attention.
