Kuala Lumpur, 30 July 2021 – To make managing employees and a company remotely more seamless in today’s pandemic-ridden world, homegrown workforce management company, HAUZ, has developed a cloud-based, data-driven platform that aims to address the many pain points faced by business owners today, especially those in the service industry. With its robust solution, HAUZ aims to address challenges such as the lack of face-to-face communication between employees and difficulties employers face in maintaining clear visibility over workplace performance, scheduling and productivity.
Founded in 2018, HAUZ is an all-in-one platform that enables employers and Human Resources (HR) teams to manage, monitor, and track their mobile workforce seamlessly and conveniently. HAUZ’s TimeClock feature allows employees to clock in and out via facial recognition and automated geo-tagging. Highly accurate, this enables employers to maintain clear records of total hours worked, without the hassle of consulting manual timesheets. Digital timestamps are then tracked by HR teams to ensure a seamless payroll system that makes certain that employees are remunerated accordingly. Moreover, HAUZ’s scheduling feature simplifies complex timetables, allowing employers to assign multiple shifts to their employees without fear of overlaps or errors. Taking safety into account, the platform also has a built-in emergency feature which allows employees to alert their teams in real-time, generating accurate incident reports should unforeseen situations occur.
