If SAP SuccessFactors, then with
E-Time

SAP SuccessFactors is an innovative human capital development support tool available in a SaaS model. One of its modules is Time Tracking, which provides a stable, scalable and global foundation for timekeeping.

All for One E-Time, on the other hand, is a solution that allows managers to schedule the time of subordinate employees, taking into account their availability and preferences, in compliance with legal and company regulations. It’s a tool that provides everything that complex organizations – especially those with shift work, manufacturing, logistics or retail – find critical in time planning.

Below we explain how such a tandem can meet the expectations of such companies.

SAP SuccessFactors (including Time Tracking) does a great job with time recording:

• collects data from RCP devices,
• handles employee applications,
• records absences,
• Ensures compliance with SAP system logic.

However, it is not a tool for advanced scheduling. SuccessFactors’ SF Time Tracking allows you to manage time and attendance, but is not a workforce scheduling tool for large, shift-based teams. E-Time, on the other hand, offers what the SF standard lacks: a scheduling engine that arranges work schedules faster, smarter and in accordance with business requirements and, importantly, legal regulations regarding working time. This solution is specifically designed to relieve managers of time-consuming scheduling and give them a real impact on the efficiency of operations.

In E-Time, graphics do not have to be created “by hand". The system can generate them on its own, based on:

• operational demand,
• Labor Code requirements,
• Availability and preferences of employees,
• Company rules (brigades, shifts, locations).

With just one click, you can get a complete monthly schedule for the entire team – consistent, optimal and realistic. In SuccessFactors, such possibilities simply do not exist.

E-Time includes:

• national working time regulations,
• requirements of the Polish Labor Code,
• best practices for change planning,
• complex collective bargaining agreements.

This is why many companies in Poland consider E-Time a natural complement to SuccessFactors – everything is “out of the box." E-Time can be run in other countries as well – E-Time rules are customizable, and the application language is selected during login. And important – E-Time performs validation right away during scheduling, not just after the fact. This is especially important for the scheduler/manager, who does not need to be an expert in labor law.

E-Time was created for environments where graphics are planned for hundreds or even thousands of people:

• retail,
• logistics,
• production,
• call center,
• energy and fuels.

It allows managers to plan, change and approve schedules at a pace that SF is not designed for.

If the company works shifts and has a large crew – E-Time is practically a must-have.

The modern approach to planning also takes into account employee satisfaction.
E-Time allows them to declare:

• Availability,
• preference for change,
• accessibility restrictions.

The system takes this into account in the scheduling algorithm – without additional work (but with approval, of course) of managers. If SuccessFactors users need such a mechanism, E-Time is available to them.

Integration of SuccessFactors and E-Time

E-Time integrates with SuccessFactors bidirectionally, providing:

• ready graphics for the working time module,
• data for payroll and HR,
• Imports from RCP systems in any standard.

E-Time combines global SAP and local HR specificity. That way you don’t have to choose – you can have the best of both.

Managers work primarily on schedules. E-Time gives them what they expect:

• view of brigades, shifts and locations,
• Moving people quickly between shifts,
• Clear alerts on errors and risks,
• full control over compliance even before the schedule is published.

Plans prepared automatically and/or manually in E-Time go into SuccessFactors. The tools are complementary.

E-Time also provides advanced time evaluation functions. Based on time events, balances and payroll components can be generated and sent to SuccessFactors. It is an excellent successor to the “old" time evaluation solution in SAP HR (Time Evaluation) and PTMW (Time Manager’s Workplace).

Together, SAP SuccessFactors and All For One E-Time create one of the most complete time management ecosystems available on the market. Not only do they meet regulatory and operational requirements, but they realistically ease the burden on teams and improve their efficiency.

If you choose SAP SuccessFactors – select it from E-Time.
