Dallas, February 23, 2011 - UniFocus today announced the availability of a new corporate-level interactive dashboard for its industry-leading Watson, R.M.™ Labor Management System (LMS).
UniFocus’ LMS Dashboard gives you actionable workforce information that enables you to:
- Make Better, Informed Decisions: See the labor performance for your entire portfolio at-a-glance.
- Quickly Drill Down: Get instant detail and root-cause analysis instead of static paper reports.
- Save Time, Free Management: Focus on high-level business performance, unlock opportunities.
- Reduce Costs, Optimize Service: Quantify cost-savings areas, minimize off-standard variances.
- Drive Increased Profitability: Pinpoint labor trends that impact budget and profitability by property.
“Our LMS Dashboard starts from a 30,000 feet high-level view of your properties and then enables you to easily drill down to see the underlying reasons behind the data,” said Mark Heymann, President and CEO of UniFocus. “One of the most powerful advantages with UniFocus is the capability of instantly identifying any off-standard variance, indicating the ‘why’ and then even showing you a possible best practices resolution.
“For example, if over-scheduling of your workforce is occurring, you can easily go to the best practices tab to find out what action is required in this scenario to more profitably manage your workforce,” added Heymann.
The corporate LMS Dashboard was designed as a powerful visual tool to help owners, management companies and asset managers become more successful by enabling them to make insightful decisions. With an intuitive user-friendly display, hoteliers can uncover significant opportunities across their portfolio —from one consolidated screen. When you know where staffing levels are off-standard, or if rate of pay was over-budgeted or paid at overtime rate, you can make decisions that impact profitability and performance.
Watson, R.M. LMS is the industry standard among some of the most recognized hospitality organizations and brands in the world. Watson balances the need to control labor costs with the commitment to deliver high levels of service—by always ensuring the right staffing at the right time. Watson automates many of the daily processes that are still being done manually—such as forecasting, budgeting and scheduling.
