Switching software is not something companies undertake lightly. There are so many things to think about when it comes to the practicalities, it can appear very daunting. The process feels a bit like changing your bank account – you’ve got so many direct debits, standing orders, debits and credits, it’s easy to convince yourself it’ll be an overwhelming task – which makes it easier to stick with your current bank rather than go through the bother of changing it.
Then there are all the ‘what ifs?’ It’s human nature to worry, and you’ll start to think about all the things that could go wrong, and you can’t stop the stream of negative thoughts this brings about. What if something goes wrong?
But here’s a positive ‘what if’. What if you really don’t have to worry about the ‘what ifs’? What if changing your workforce management software is as easy as changing your bank account, because these days, the bank does all the hard work for you.
When it comes to installing workforce management solutions, we’re the experts. We have a team of developers and specialists who understand what’s needed to implement the technical solutions they’re working on. They’re the experts, so it makes sense for them to customise and install your Nextra solution – integrating it with your other workforce management software if necessary.
This means you can get on with your job while we get on with the job of switching your workforce management software. This means the whole process will be as straightforward and easy as you’d want it to be… and without any ‘what ifs’.
There are a number of reasons why our clients choose our software solutions, and not just because we take care of the switchover and installation. Having effective tools to manage employee scheduling, leave management, and time tracking not only saves time, it also saves frustration, resulting in greater employee engagement and overall team productivity.
The savings to your business can be huge. Thanks to the efficiencies in shift scheduling and the reduction in administrative time needed to create them, our technology can cut staff costs by up to a whopping 27%.
As far as we’re aware, Nextra’s is the only software that will cover 100% of your needs. This means every feature has been designed to work seamlessly with every other, creating maximum efficiency and effectiveness. But if you have already committed some of your functions to different platforms with contracts running out at different times, don’t worry – our software is compatible with existing systems. In fact it works across more than 70 platforms and apps. Once Nextra software has been installed, it’s a very simple question of switching on features as and when your contracts run out with other systems.
We will connect attendance data with Payroll and Human Resources to increase the accuracy of your payroll data and ensure compliance.
Another benefit our clients really like is our transparent pricing structure. You will be charged the same price every month no matter how many staff members you have on your books. The majority of software providers operate per-user fees, but we don’t. With a standard monthly charge for the software, not the number of employees or users, you can keep on top of your costs without having to worry about fluctuating staffing needs, or growing your company.
And with fees starting at as little as £1,850 per year, even the smallest business can afford to reap the benefits of Nextra’s workforce management solutions.
For small businesses with simple staffing needs, our software can be used as an off-the-shelf solution, keeping costs low at the same time as taking advantage of the same high quality features.
Nextra really comes into its own for larger businesses with more complex and brand-specific needs, as we will adapt our software to work best for your specific needs. Our developers will work with you to customise your workforce management software to ensure it will support your rostering, time and attendance, payroll, HR and reporting needs, both now and in the future.
We have designed our workforce management software to be as scalable as your business. So as you grow your business, your workforce management software will grow with you. We achieve this by installing all its features in one go. The features you don’t need right now will not be activated, and you will not be charged for them. They will simply be there, lying dormant until you do need them – and when this is the case, we can simply activate them at the flick of a switch. It’s that easy! This gives you a huge amount of flexibility and you can rest assured in the knowledge that when your business expands, you already have the additional features in place and ready to go – without the need to install new software.
One of the main advantages of Nextra software is its ability to create useful reports that will help you assess performance management and make better informed decisions to help you to improve performance going forward.
Initial training and ongoing support are included in the cost of your package, all managed by our team based in the UK.
We always prefer to do the training onsite so we can be certain everyone understands the system and will therefore get the most out of it. Our training looks at staff scheduling, time tracking, absence management, and analytics.
“We needed an automation solution to more accurately capture data on the time and hours worked by our employees. I don’t have a technical background, so I was very appreciative of the support I received from Nextra to set up and train the team on its Time and Attendance solution. I am extremely satisfied with the performance of their biometric device for data capture and additional modules. Payroll is now a breeze.”
Andrea Aldam, Operations Manager, Sliding Doors and Windows
“With the addition of Nextra’s intuitive Demand Rostering module, we can ensure that every unit functions at optimal capacity at the minimum cost to the organisation. We have seen cost savings of up to 15% at some centres and an improvement in the efficiency of staffing by 22%.”
Anthony Dorman, Head of Business Support at NHS Blood and Transplant
Nextra’s “Time and Attendance system catered for all our requirements, driving significant efficiencies for our business. They delivered confidently, and even built us a pilot system as a proof of concept when we requested one. Within days, we were hooked on the solution. It’s not just about the system; the whole Nextra team worked together to deliver a solution that meets and exceeds our needs. I hope this will be a life-long partnership.”
