A flexible workforce management system built for modern teams

Workforce management (WFM) systems bring together the key processes required to manage workers day to day. These platforms support scheduling, staff availability, work schedules, and tracking hours worked, helping organisations manage labour resources effectively.

This integrated approach helps organisations reduce duplicate data, improve reporting accuracy, and maintain reliable workforce records while providing more control over workforce operations and planning for the future.

Centralise your employee records with self-service workforce management

Workforce operations run more smoothly when employee information is stored in a single platform.

Our workforce management software, powered by foundU, allows organisations to create digital employee profiles from onboarding onwards. Important HR documentation – including employment contracts, policies, certifications, and licences – can be stored securely and accessed when required.

Managers gain quick access to the information they need to schedule, roster, and manage their teams effectively, while employees can update personal details through a self-service portal. This reduces administrative tasks for HR teams and improves the overall employee experience.

Secure systems also help organisations protect sensitive employee information, supporting data privacy and compliance with modern security expectations.

Why choose our workforce management software?

Simplify payroll and workforce scheduling

Accurate payroll depends on reliable workforce data. Powered by foundU, our platform connects scheduling, time and attendance, and timesheet data so the right pay rules are applied automatically.

Role information stored in employee profiles supports accurate award interpretation and pay calculations when approving timesheets or generating rosters. Leave management, overtime, and payroll deductions can also be managed within the same platform.

With workforce and payroll data centralised, payroll teams can reduce processing time, maintain better visibility over labour costs, and simplify budget planning.

Stay compliant as your workforce grows

Managing a workforce in Australia comes with real obligations. Fair Work record-keeping requirements, modern award conditions, National Employment Standards entitlements, right to work verification, and licence and certification tracking all need to stay current. As your team grows, keeping on top of them manually becomes increasingly difficult.

Powered by foundU, our workforce management solution is built to handle this. The platform integrates directly with the Department of Home Affairs, delivering real-time VEVO and right to work checks so you always know your team is cleared to work. Automated reminders flag licence and certification expiries before they become a compliance issue. Employment documentation, onboarding records, and certification tracking are all stored securely in one place, accessible when you need them and audit-ready at all times.

Keep your employee data secure

Protecting employee data isn’t just good practice – it’s an obligation. Our software uses secure infrastructure, built-in encryption, and role-based access controls to safeguard sensitive records. Only the people who need access to confidential employee information can see it.

Our workforce management solution is also ISO 27001 certified – the internationally recognised standard for information security management. That means your employee data is managed according to established security protocols, giving you confidence that sensitive information is protected at every stage.

Got burning questions? We’ve got answers

Workforce management software is a platform that brings together the core processes involved in managing employees – scheduling, time and attendance, leave management, payroll, onboarding, and earned wage access – in one connected system. Instead of managing these across separate tools, everything works from the same data. foundU is a workforce management platform built specifically for Australian businesses, combining all seven of these capabilities in a single login.

A workforce manager keeps staffing operations running smoothly – scheduling the right people at the right time, monitoring hours, reviewing performance data, maintaining compliance, and supporting workforce planning.

Workforce planning software helps organisations forecast labour demand and confirm that the right workers with the appropriate skills are available to meet operational needs.

Effective workforce planning improves productivity, supports better scheduling decisions, and helps organisations manage labour costs.

Multi-site workforce management allows organisations to manage employee scheduling, attendance tracking, and workforce operations across multiple locations.

A centralised workforce management solution provides visibility across sites while maintaining consistent processes and reporting.

Using workforce management software can help organisations:

  • Streamline scheduling, time and attendance, and payroll preparation.
  • Improve workforce data accuracy and reduce administrative tasks.
  • Gain visibility of labour costs, including overtime and workforce performance.
  • Support workforce planning and operational efficiency for growing companies.

HR software typically focuses on the people management side of running a business, such as storing employee records, managing performance, tracking contracts, and handling documentation. Workforce management software focuses on the operational side, including scheduling, time and attendance, payroll, and compliance. Our foundU-powered WFM software combines both in one platform, so data flows seamlessly from onboarding through to pay without manual transfers or reconciliation between tools.

Customer relationship management (CRM) systems manage customer interactions, sales pipelines, and marketing activity.

Workforce management software focuses on internal operations – helping organisations manage employee management, work schedules, attendance tracking, and workforce reporting.

Typical workforce management functions include:

  • Employee scheduling and shift planning.
  • Attendance tracking and time recording.
  • Workforce reporting and analytics.
  • Payroll preparation and award interpretation.
  • Compliance tracking for licences and certifications.

Workforce analytics is the process of collecting and analysing workforce data to support operational decision-making.

By reviewing metrics such as attendance patterns, hours worked, labour costs, and staffing levels, organisations can identify trends and improve workforce planning.

Workforce analytics helps managers make informed decisions about scheduling, staffing levels, and labour costs.

Access to reliable workforce data improves operational visibility, strengthens workforce planning, and helps organisations adapt their workforce strategies for the future.
