SAP has been at the forefront of the retail market, providing software solutions for workforce management for decades. Today, SAP offers the next generation of workforce management: SAP Multisite Workforce Deployment.

A centrally managed, Web-enabled workforce management solution, SAP Multisite Workforce Deployment gives you improved flexibility and control over your business processes. It allows corporate management to take more ownership of schedule planning and execution, giving managers more time to assist customers and coach employees.

SAP Multisite Workforce Deployment is based on a closed-loop, labor-management model that maintains rules, objectives, standards, credentials, performance, and preferences. The application supports – and tightly integrates – all stages in the workforce management life cycle. With it, you can manage:

• Workforce deployment – Create optimum employee schedules using business variables and actual sales and traffic data. Flexible forecasting enables you to align your location workforce scheduling strategy with corporate goals, customer expectations, and the needs of your employees.
• Site maintenance – Use centralized management capabilities for corporate and field control, staging and execution, location query, ongoing review, and audit and control to quickly respond to changes and maximize control.
• Human capital management – Align all resources and people with business objectives, maximize employee value, manage individual and team contributions, and build a comprehensive human capital management program. SAP Multisite Workforce Deployment integrates tightly with the SAP ERP Human Capital Management (SAP ERP HCM) solution – supporting payroll, compliance, and best practices for physical and virtual workforces.
• Time management – Reduce the administrative burden on your HR department, improve the accuracy of your records, and make better scheduling decisions based on real-time information.
• Business analytics – Drive sound decision-making and targeted action based on integrated data from across the enterprise. SAP Multisite Workforce Deployment is integrated with SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence, a key component of the SAP NetWeaver platform, to help you make sense of your data.

Plus, self-service capabilities for employees and managers improve efficiency and accuracy, and they free up your HR staff to concentrate on strategic concerns.
