With ZEUS® X mobile all major features allowing for digital time recording and time management are easily accessible via your smartphone or tablet at any location. ZEUS® X mobile allows you to record working, project and order times at any time and where ever you are. This mobile App stands for easy communication with co-workers and supervisors via embedded workflows. Furthermore, it assists you in keeping track of your time accounts, remaining holidays and much more at a glance. With predefined events you will be automatically informed via the integrated messenger either by e-mail or push notification. No doubt, the digital Workforce Management generates perceptible added value and reduces the daily workload based on intelligent functions, notifications and web-based interactive communication: - Presence Indicator Board The mobile Presence Indicator Board informs about the current presence/absence status of co-workers belonging to predefined teams and organisation units. - Paperless workflows Requests for booking updates, absences, etc. as well as request approvals can be done digitally without any paper work thanks to integrated workflows. The actual scope of functions available to employees, group managers or department heads is defined by individual roles and rights. - Evacuation report In the event of an emergency (e. g. fire), the Evacuation report provides an overview of all employees informing on who is still inside the building and who is already safe. - Team bookings Group managers can make team bookings valid for several employees allowing for project, order or activity-based time recording. The benefits are clear: booking for all made by one, no more missed bookings and all team members automatically start at the same time.
