Human Resource Management and the Cellular Retailer

How CellularManager's integrated features are helping manage day-to-day activities

Cellular retailers need the right tools to effectively manage and control their business every step of the way, from one store to hundreds of stores. This means managing inventory, billing, and, of course, employees.

The best way to take control of employee management is to automate human resource (HR) processes, including time tracking, schedules, and payroll calculation.

Unfortunately, some cellular retailers start out by manually creating and managing employee schedules and timesheets. They very quickly discover the task is much more cumbersome and time-consuming than it has to be. Correcting the errors inherent in manual timesheet and schedule management leads to an endless paper nightmare. This is where centralized web-based management software, like CellularManager®, comes into play.

CellularManager offers a unique and full-featured solution by integrating HR capabilities and POS processes into a single management system providing the flexibility, accessibility, and easy-to-use tools required to efficiently and accurately meet the needs of a changing and increasingly complex industry.

The hours upon hours that managers used to spend reconciling employee timesheets is a thing of the past. CellularManager's web-based HR system improves efficiency, streamlines the administrative process, and reduces reconciliation problems.

This document addresses the key points that cellular retailers, wholesalers, and master agents need to know about implementing and using CellularManager's centralized web-based HR management system.

Why web-based?
The benefits of a web-based HR management system are many. For starters, there is no need to outfit each store with expensive software. With a click of a button, new employees can be added instantly to the centralized database. With a few more clicks, employee schedules are added. Each store's employee information can then be maintained and monitored in real-time, all without involving IT or costly installs.

CellularManager integrates HR management processes and provides employees and management with secure access 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by using any web browser. Regardless of whether they are at home, the office, or one of their retail stores, authorized users can access their pertinent information and make any necessary modifications. Also, because users are accessing business information in real-time, they can keep up with, and effectively manage schedules and time card information.

Employee management
Cellular retailers need to manage and analyze their workforce resources in real-time across several stores. By using a CellularManager's centralized database to manage not only their POS activity, but also employee schedules and time allocation, retailers instantly know which employees are on duty and where those employees are located.

Also, since all HR and business processes are integrated into CellularManager, retailers can easily collect and store their work documentation internally in the online application for easy access at any time. This automated employee management increases accountability and reduces accounting errors by creating a real-time audit trail.
