One connection from warehouse demand to schedules to labor cost

Overview

Schedules that match real demand, and labor hours that flow straight to the ledger.

When scheduling and time clock systems run separately from the warehouse floor, staffing plans miss real demand, and labor hours get re-keyed by hand before they ever reach payroll or the ledger. The integration syncs schedules, time clock punches, and absence data between Kronos and Xorosoft, and uses Xorosoft's own order and fulfillment volume to inform staffing plans. Tap each point to see how.

About the Platform

Who Kronos is, and what it brings to Xorosoft

Kronos is a workforce management system - the platform Xorosoft connects to for scheduling, time clocks, and labor data.

Founded in 1977

Kronos Incorporated was founded in 1977 and became known for building one of the first microprocessor-based time clocks.

Built a reputation in workforce management

Kronos was long headquartered in Massachusetts, building a reputation in time and attendance, scheduling, and labor analytics.

Merged to form UKG

In 2020, Kronos merged with Ultimate Software to form Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), one of the largest workforce management companies.

Name still widely used today

The Kronos name is still widely used for the time and attendance systems many businesses rely on, now offered under the UKG family of products.

  • Shift assignment visibility
  • Location-level detail

Demand-based scheduling

+

Xorosoft's own order and fulfillment volume feeds into Kronos to inform staffing plans.

Benefit: schedules reflect actual expected demand instead of a fixed headcount.

Example: a forecasted order spike feeds into Kronos, prompting an extra shift to be scheduled ahead of time.

Sub-features
  • Volume-informed staffing
