Excel For HR Functions vs. Swipeclock Software
Swipeclock software offers specialized, user-friendly HR solutions like TimeWorksPlus, TimeWorks Mobile, TimeSimplicity, ApplicantStack, and WorkforceHub that provide efficient, integrated timekeeping, scheduling, recruitment, and HR management features far superior to Excel's complex, training-intensive, and less efficient HR functions.
Most businesses use Excel for HR functions. Some use Excel for all HR functions. Excel is powerful, but there are better options today. Swipeclock offers solutions for all of your HR functions:
- TimeWorksPlus — employee time and attendance software
- TimeWorks Mobile — companion mobile app for employee timekeeping
- TimeSimplicity — advanced scheduling
- ApplicantStack — recruitment software
- WorkforceHub — unified HR portal
Why is Swipeclock software better than Excel for HR functions?
No Training Required
If you want to perform calculations more complex than adding numbers in a column, Excel takes some training. For example, calculating severance or PTO requires more than a little training.
In contrast, software developed specifically for HR is much easier to use. If you can send a text on your phone, you can use TimeWorksPlus. There is virtually no learning curve.
Designed For Efficiency
Swipeclock tools are designed to help employees and administrators be more efficient. Excel was not designed with HR efficiency in mind.
With HR software, it's easy to find what you need. Need to clock in for a shift? The webclock greets you when you open TimeWorks Mobile. Need to request PTO? You can do it from the time card screen.
Managers can make complicated team schedules with TimeSimplicity. Using the software isn't complicated: select associates and drag them into shifts on a calendar, copy templates forward as needed. It's easy!
Can Excel do that? While you can copy and paste in Excel and import Excel data into many types of business software, data imports for HR functions are quick and easy with Swipeclock software.
