iPhone, Blackberry, and Smartphone access for Employee Schedules
Now available! Managing labor at your business just became even more simple. TimeForge Mobile recently launched, providing managers and staff members the ability to review employee schedules, check timecards, send and receive online messages, and perform other labor management related items on an iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, or other smartphone.
TimeForge Mobile can be accessed by pointing your favorite web browser or RSS reader at the TimeForge website. To ensure the confidentiality of the information that is available, the RSS reading program must be able to use both SSL (bank-level encryption and security) and authentication (username and password). Some of our favorite RSS readers include:
- Viigo on the Blackberry
- NetNewswire and Pro RSS on the iPhone
- Others (mostly for the desktop) can be found here
Accessing TimeForge Mobile is very simple! Just add the website or URL of:
http://www.TimeForge.com/Scheduler/rss.html
to your RSS program of choice – enter your username and password – and your schedule, timecard, availability, and messages will automatically load into your RSS program.
Managers and supervisors have additional capabilities, and multi-unit and multi-store operators can view additional information (such as which staff members are clocked in, the days labor costs, and gross sales for the day). A full list of RSS URL’s can be found inside “My Settings” page within TimeForge.
TimeForge staff scheduling and labor management software is used by managers, owners, and operators of restaurants, retail stores, bars, clubs, and other service-oriented businesses to increase profitability, reduce turnover, and improve retention.
What some of our clients have to say ...
Is there a demo site for the RSS feed technology? This looks interesting.
Paul, thanks for the comment – you are right, the RSS feed is quite interesting (and useful)!
Any TimeForge user can access the RSS feed – and you can sign up for a 10 day trial of TimeForge without any payment information.
Not sure what you meant by a “demo site” ….
