Game-Changing AI: Amusement Center Reduces Missed Punches by 95% With CloudApper

Managing a large, dynamic workforce in the hospitality industry is no easy feat, especially when faced with the complexities of shift scheduling, communication, and time tracking. Face Amusement, a leading name in the U.S. hospitality sector with nearly 500 employees across multiple locations, encountered these challenges firsthand. Persistent issues with missed punches, gaps in shift coverage, and manual time tracking strained their operations and impacted employee satisfaction. To address these challenges, Face Amusement turned to CloudApper AI, implementing a revolutionary tablet-based solution that transformed their workforce management and led to a stunning 95% reduction in missed punches.

The Challenges of Managing a Large Workforce

Face Amusement’s struggle with missed punches and scheduling inefficiencies was a familiar scenario for many large-scale operations. These issues not only increased the administrative burden on managers but also led to inaccuracies in payroll processing and disruptions in daily operations. The manual tracking of shifts and attendance was time-consuming and error-prone, ultimately affecting overall productivity and employee morale.

The Solution: CloudApper AI

CloudApper AI provided a tailored solution that addressed Face Amusement’s specific needs. By integrating seamlessly with UKG Pro WFM, the platform transformed how employee scheduling and communication were managed:

• Enhanced Shift Communication and Coverage: CloudApper AI introduced a proactive approach to shift management with automated SMS reminders for shift confirmations. If an employee couldn’t make it to their scheduled shift, the system instantly notified other employees with the same job code, ensuring that open shifts were covered promptly. This feature significantly reduced the number of unfilled shifts, optimizing staffing and reducing operational disruptions.
• Streamlined Time and Attendance Management: The platform allowed employees to easily punch in/out, manage meal breaks, transfer jobs, and view their schedules and accrual balances—all through a user-friendly tablet interface. This automation greatly reduced the incidence of missed punches, resulting in more accurate time tracking and reliable payroll processing.
• Improved Employee Self-Service (ESS) Functions: CloudApper AI empowered employees with self-service tools for managing their schedules, including work rule transfers and shift confirmations. This transparency and ease of access improved employee engagement and satisfaction, fostering a more motivated and productive workforce.
• Seamless Integration with Enterprise Systems: One of CloudApper AI’s key strengths is its ability to integrate effortlessly with leading HR, HCM, and enterprise systems like UKG Pro WFM (Dimensions). This seamless integration eliminated manual data entry, reduced errors, and ensured smooth data flow across platforms, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
