Labor Management Software

Manage your labor costs with technology

Labor management systems

In warehousing and distribution operations, labor is the top cost. Labor management software can help you gain control of these costs and enable you to visualize, understand, and take command of the labor situation in your operation. Labor resources are valuable - handling them correctly can give you a competitive advantage.

HighJump™ Labor Advantage gives you the ability to plan, measure and view labor activities within your organization to increase efficiency. This advanced labor management software helps you objectively measure employee performance and identify those whose performance consistently exceeds the standard, as well as employees who need assistance. In addition, HighJump Labor Advantage enables you to create individual performance standards, enabling each employee to see what is expected and how he or she is performing against that standard throughout the day.

Visibility tools allow you to monitor progress against the production plan in real time throughout the work day, allowing you to detect inefficiencies and take corrective action.

HighJump Labor Advantage

Maximize Performance and Labor Utilization HighJump Software’s labor management solution allows you to track, measure, report and plan labor activities within your organization to increase efficiency. HighJump™ Labor Advantage helps you objectively measure employee performance and identify those whose performance consistently exceeds the standard, as well as employees who need assistance. In addition, visibility tools provide real-time data on actual employee utilization and performance versus established standards, allowing you to detect inefficiencies and take corrective action. You can also reduce unproductive activity and its associated cost by tracking indirect labor.

Enable a Self-Directed Workforce

HighJump Labor Advantage allows you to create individual performance standards, enabling each employee to see what is expected and how he or she is performing against that standard throughout the day. Employees empowered with performance indicators are able to take greater ownership of their own work and benchmark their improvement.
