SAP to resell Kronos’ Workforce Dimensions

Kronos Incorporated Kronos Incorporated, an American multi-national workforce management software and services company has entered into a global agreement with SAP, German multinational software company, allowing the latter to resell Workforce Dimensions, the next-generation workforce management solution by Kronos, across its worldwide customer base under the name “SAP Time Management by Kronos.”

SAP has opted for Workforce Dimensions as its workforce management solution for customers who need help handling complex scheduling, time and attendance, absence management, labour activities, and workforce analytics.

SAP customers will also gain from Kronos’ award-winning global support and professional services.

Kronos is known for successfully supporting big, complex multinational workforce management cloud deployments that help increase labour productivity, control labour costs, minimise compliance risk, and improve employee engagement.

Chris Todd, president, Kronos, said “SAP’s influence with large, multinational customers is unparalleled and will allow Kronos to build on its substantial market leadership delivering our products and services to an even broader global audience. In return, SAP customers will benefit from our continued investments in innovation to re-imagine the future of work, while achieving a hard-dollar return that can be reinvested in human capital management strategy.”
