In the diagram above from SAP SuccessFactors:
- The lowest two circles represent functionality that is already available within SAP SuccessFactors: Employee Central Basic Timesheet and Employee Central Time Off.
- The circle above them, in pink, represents their new investment via a subscription-based service called SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking, currently under Roadmap development. This was announced in December 2020.
- The larger outside purple circle represents Partner solutions and Extensions for those customers where the existing SAP and SuccessFactors Time solutions are insufficient. These solutions can range from simple Add-Ons to complete third-party Partner solutions, like Workforce.
Missing functionality in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Time?
One area in which customers report that there is missing functionality is in Employee Central Time. Examples of missing functionality include:
- shift rostering
- additional compliance checks
- automatic shift adjustments
- advanced time recording.
While SuccessFactors Time Tracking is envisaged to evolve into a solution for advanced time recording, the standard Employee Central Time offerings do not include this functionality, and neither provides solutions to rostering or compliance checks.
GeoClock adds additional functionality to SuccessFactors Employee Central Time
EPI-USE Labs created GeoClock to fill this exact need. GeoClock is an extension to Employee Central which adds much-needed features surrounding time reporting, shift rostering, and compliance.
