Overview
WorkForce Software builds enterprise workforce management software, now sold as ADP® WorkForce Suite following WorkForce Software's acquisition by ADP. The suite targets large, complex organizations -- manufacturers, healthcare systems, public-sector agencies, higher-education institutions, retailers and natural-resources operators -- that need to manage time, scheduling and leave across multiple countries, unions and collective bargaining agreements.
The platform spans seven core areas: time and attendance, employee scheduling, absence/leave management, labor compliance and fatigue management, workforce forecasting and analytics, mobile data capture, and employee communications/task management. Time capture supports wall-mounted and ruggedized weatherized clocks plus web and mobile punching, with geolocation, attestation and audit trails. Scheduling combines template-driven, demand-driven (forecast-based), job/skills-driven and compliance-driven modes, with employee self-service for availability, shift swaps and open-shift bidding. Absence management tracks eligibility, balances (with prorations, carryovers and transfers) and case management against a compliance library covering 35+ pre-built country templates and support for operations in 100+ nations.
WorkForce Software positions the suite as ERP/HCM-agnostic: it connects via open REST APIs and prebuilt connectors to SAP, Oracle and Workday, and states it can integrate with other HCM/payroll systems, while also running natively alongside ADP's own HCM products (ADP Lyric HCM, ADP Global Payroll, ADP Workforce Now).
