ShiftHound Online Staff Scheduling Software announces new Workforce Management Integration Engine

San Diego, Calif. August 7, 2014 – ShiftHound (http://www.shifthound.com), the leading provider of cloud-based Staff Scheduling Software, introduces its new Integration Engine, which allows any Time & Attendance or HR system such as Kronos, Lawson, ADP, PeopleSoft, etc. to be easily integrated with its unrivaled online Scheduling and Open Shift Management (OSM) application. By leveraging customer's existing systems and data, duplicate entry is eliminated and overhead costs are greatly reduced.

All staff data is automatically updated by the ShiftHound Integration Engine from, and to, any Time & Attendance or HR system to account for new hires, leaves, time off, punch data, etc. This allows for the most accurate information in both systems and eliminates the time involved in logging into, viewing, and updating multiple systems. For example, Managers will now see actual hours worked in ShiftHound, which allows for more informed decisions when drafting schedules and deciding on approving shifts in relation to budget and overtime hours, thereby reducing unnecessary labor costs.

"ShiftHound's Integration Engine provides working bi-directional interfaces to these applications in multiple ways, including flat file or API / web service," says Doug Bertozzi, Chief Technology Officer for ShiftHound. "It's a known fact that integration between software solutions is significant to providing a superior value and ROI."

"We are a long time client of ShiftHound and recently completed a full integration with our Time and Attendance solution, allowing for additional efficiencies and productivity benefits," stated Karen Graham, COO, Summit Medical Group and Summit Health Management in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. "We use one of the market leader's Time and Attendance applications and ShiftHound's Integration Engine and support team made the process simple to easily and automatically import and export the data that was needed."

ShiftHound's Staff Scheduling solution is simple to learn and use for both Managers and Staff. The product's power lies in its ease of use, and the web-based, in "the cloud" model allows for one low monthly charge, eliminating the need for expensive technical staff and maintenance fees. ShiftHound gives its customers painless, free upgrades and they can turn on functionality and modules as or when they are needed, on demand.
