Substantial Savings for Agendrix Customers

After all, who better to talk about their daily gains since implementing Agendrix in their businesses? 🚀

Why survey our customers?

As you know, today’s inflation and tough economic climate are making it harder for front-line companies to stay in business. Whether you own a restaurant, manage a retail store or own a franchise, these are challenging times—and you probably want to make the most out of every dollar your organization invests.

Thanks to the feedback we’ve gathered from our customers over the years, we knew from the beginning that Agendrix would help them simplify their operations. But we didn’t have any tangible figures to cite when we were asked questions like:

• How much time and money can a manager really save by using Agendrix?
• Are there any other benefits to using the app?
• How long does the software take to set up?

Our aim was to get an overview that would enable us to put a dollar value on the time savings. We also wanted to better understand the other benefits of scheduling and staff management software.

Plus, all of these insights would help us further improve our product! 💡

Survey and target audience

Customers had 2 weeks to complete the survey:

• 669 Canadian managers answered the call and completed the survey
• They were asked to answer 16 questions on:
  • Their business, including number of employees, branches and industry
  • Employee scheduling management
  • Attendance tracking
  • Employee well-being and HR practices
  • Software implementation process

Our results

To give a clearer idea of actual savings, the results below compare client organizations’ management method before and after adopting Agendrix software.

Note that some managers had no software in place.

Based on the answers, here are the average savings for managers who use Agendrix. We will present the results by category of use, comparing the time required for a task before and after using Agendrix.

Here are the categories covered:

• Schedule management
• Attendance tracking
• Handling unforeseen circumstances and urgent needs
• Improved employee well-being
• Time required to set up Agendrix

When scheduling rhymes with savings

Considering the time needed to create schedules, share them with the team, and then coordinate various requests (shift swapping, leave requests, errors, and shifts to fill), here’s a snapshot of the savings:

• 50% time savings on scheduling
• $5,120 saved per year* — considering only the salary of the manager responsible for this task

Faster attendance tracking

When considering attendance tracking, timesheet approvals, management of time-banks, vacations and bonuses, as well as transfers to the payroll system:

• Managers report saving an estimated 53% of the time required to manage and processe worked hours
• Organizations save the equivalent of $3,892 per year*, factoring in only the time spent by the manager performing this task

*According to customer answers, the average hourly rate for managers is $28.32.

Solutions for urgent and unforeseen needs

In business as in life, unforeseen circumstances are inevitable. Employees can be late or leave at the drop of a hat—and solutions have to be found. Since they started using Agendrix:

• 6 out of 10 managers report having an easier time finding replacements for shifts that need filling

Improved employee well-being

If you’ve been following us for any length of time, you know that our mission is to promote a humane workplace management philosophy that makes life easier for front-line employees. Employee well-being is therefore a key metric that is tracked alongside staff retention, absenteeism rates, levels of autonomy, and clarity of internal communications.

Since they started using Agendrix:

• 40% of managers observe a drop in absenteeism and lateness at their organization
• 33% notice an improvement in their organization’s retention rate
• 75% see a greater level of autonomy in their teams
• 80% benefit from improved communications*

*50% of the managers even noted a marked improvement in internal communications.

Fast implementation of Agendrix within organizations

Finally, given that our software adjusts to customer needs and requires some adaptation (for example, when switching from a paper schedule to the Agendrix schedule), it was crucial to determine how much time was required for Agendrix to be fully adopted by managers and ready to use. On average:

• It takes a management team 4 hours to implement Agendrix in a branch
