ScheduleSoft 4.6 Workforce Scheduling Software Solution Certified as
Powered by SAP NetWeaver®
Robust and flexible, ScheduleSoft delivers user configurable, demand-driven worker scheduling to customers through interoperability with SAP® solutions
Madison, WI, June 1, 2009 – ScheduleSoft today announced its ScheduleSoft®4.6 workforce scheduling software has achieved SAP certification as powered by the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. The solution has been proven to integrate with SAP® solutions, complementing enterprise supply chain and resource management systems by using prioritized production schedules as the demand driver to optimize work schedules in process manufacturing and continuous operations environments.
ScheduleSoft is transforming the way companies do business through user-configurable rules and scheduling methods, which balance production or resource demand with employee availability, qualifications, skills, and scheduling regulations, to optimize labor costs relative to hourly as well as day-to-day workload fluctuations.
The SAP Integration and Certification Center has certified that ScheduleSoft 4.6 properly integrates with the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) Release 3.0 offering via an XI content package.
“We are delighted to announce this successful achievement, that ScheduleSoft 4.6 is now certified as powered by SAP NetWeaver,” said Gregory Flessas, president of ScheduleSoft. “The ability of ScheduleSoft 4.6 to extend and leverage the benefits of supply chain solutions provided by SAP allows our customers to gain new visibility into their largest controllable cost: Labor. By passing employee data through this certified interface and passing customer orders, production schedules and labor usage data between related systems, our customers can extend their visibility into how they are conforming to labor and cost standards as they fill their customer orders. Continuous operation environments, where employees cannot discretely enter data about every individual product on which they work have, until now, been unable to accurately track where labor dollars are deployed and to what products any extraordinary labor costs need to be attributed.”
For more than 13 years, the ScheduleSoft team has focused exclusively on developing a workforce scheduling system robust enough to meet the requirements of the most complex production environments, and flexible enough to change, as business grows, without the need for customized programming. ScheduleSoft provides a workforce scheduling system that compliments, fills a gap and adds value in worker scheduling for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
In addition, ScheduleSoft has joined the SAP PartnerEdge™ program as an SAP software solution partner. Through the program, partners work closely with SAP to develop and certify the technical integration of their solutions with SAP software. Integrated partner applications extend, complement and add value to SAP solutions, thereby helping mutual customers more successfully meet business needs and drive strong results.
