"Take Control of Your Labor Management Systems with UniFocus"

The Next Generation of Integrated Labor Management Systems Dashboards


Dallas, January 23, 2013 - Strategic labor management has been widely recognized throughout the hospitality industry as a crucial component to alleviating unneeded costs in order to secure a sustainable competitive advantage. With this in mind, UniFocus, the leading hospitality provider of Smart Productivity Tools for Labor Management, proudly presents the next generation of integrated Labor Management System Dashboards. The new LMS dashboard has been designed to streamline access to key performance metrics in real time reporting throughout multiple properties allowing executives and management alike to easily navigate through the labor management cycles of any and all properties within their portfolios.
 
Allowing management to control what they see, customizable menu options provide individual property management with the ability to highlight and focus on the most significant labor issues relative to their property’s success. Multiple property displays within the new LMS dashboard permit executive level analysis that reports cross-property cost variance to standards, enabling executives to easily identify the opportunities for improvement while highlighting effective, best practices being utilized throughout their portfolios.
 
Additional benefits of the new LMS dashboard include customizable tagging/selection tools making it easier for managers to identify opportunities within any department throughout their property.  A new navigation board displays assessments of cost opportunities in relation to service delivery standards, providing management with the capability to identify and resolve labor control issues.
Other features of the new LMS Dashboard include:
  • Report generation tools that can be customized to annual, monthly, and weekly platform reporting.
  • Trend Charts identify key business indicators offering customizable visibility to labor statistics.
  • Executive reporting capabilities with larger amounts of data.
  • Aggregate reporting by department within property.
  • At a glance, real-time live data with last week and next week projections.
  • Enhanced user friendly navigational tools including click and drag options, breadcrumbs, interface drop down menus, and integrated back buttons.
  • The ability to communicate, through built in e-mail, any observed issues and ensure corrective action, where applicable, or simple complimentary feedback for effective operations. 
“The customization features included in the new LMS dashboard enable both executives and all levels of management to take full control of their Labor Management Systems utilizing them at a personalized level in order to maximize their operational efficiency.” Mark Heymann, President and CEO of UniFocus.
