Interflex makes flexible working environments possible

Interflex offers on-the-go solutions, hosting and administration for time management as well as access control and workforce management systems with which companies can make their working environments more flexible. Since more and more flexitime, home office and crowdworking models are being introduced, and private and business activities are increasingly merging on a technological level – for example, through the multiple use of smartphones and tablets – there must be a way to organise the changed “togetherness” in the working environment in HR planning and team management.

“Flexible new working models and types of accounting now allow many employees and freelancers to specifically coordinate their working lives with private and family interests. A HR management system that optimally organises decentralised and staggered work is required. For example, using a workforce management system with a direct connection to a highly flexible time recording system” explains Bernhard Sommer, Managing Director of Interflex. With Interflex software systems, working hours can be planned in such a way that joint presences and real-life meetings can continue to take place. A balanced workforce management system can organise teams in a way that combines individual flexibility with project-specific core hours.

Mobile time booking on the go

Interflex solutions allow mobile time booking from any location to optimally coordinate employees even when working off site – including business trips, leave applications and an exact overview of the personal time account. Companies that are represented at many locations or even on different continents can integrate their access system into the workforce management system. Mobile functions, such as access with a smartphone and decentralised time bookings using a tablet or smartphone, ensure up-to-date flexibility. The workforce management system enables statistical processing of leave and absence times as well as numerous other functions for HR planning.

Outsourced hosting and administration by experts

Furthermore, a future-orientated business model called “Interflex Managed Services” offers companies hosting for time recording systems, which is comparable to a cloud solution. If desired, Interflex can also take over the administration of the system, which is so far unique in this combination. The advantage: companies with Interflex Managed Services benefit from additional time and HR relief. Employees, supervisors and the HR department use the functions of the time recording system as usual. For example, to submit or approve leave applications. Interflex provides the technical support for the system software as well as the infrastructure, which goes beyond the functional application. The company’s own employees can consequently focus on their primary goals and, therefore, increase their work efficiency. Time-consuming additional tasks, such as maintaining the server capacity, system availability and acquiring the knowledge for support are, therefore, a thing of the past. The Interflex Managed Services solution guarantees 24/7 system availability. All employee data can be backed up on the basis of a multi-zone concept and in compliance with the regulations of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
