Now, with a few clicks, we can be talking about the right things at the right time."
"There are so many pressures in the world and around us to build faster, respond quicker - and this workforce management platform is a vehicle to do that, removing your whiteboards, your spreadsheets, and your Excels. It's giving you a real-time database of information that anybody can pull at any time with the right user authority levels that you grant them."
