HR that Fits Like a Glove
 
"Out of the Box" is a common phrase in the world of software.  It refers to all the features and functionality that's packed into the box of Sage Abra HRMS software you purchased.  But sometimes the features in that box aren't an exact match to your unique HR processes and workflow.  Maybe you'd like to customize the menu or change the sequence of HR processes.  That's where Sage Abra Toolkit comes in.  It allows you to customize your HR system so "Out of the Box" is transformed into "Fits Like a Glove."  Let's take a look.

Improve Workflow and Efficiency

Abra toolkit provides in-depth customization capabilities that give you complete control over how your HR information is categorized, viewed, processed, and organized.  You can modify menus and panels, change actions and processes, create new groups of reports, and modify toolbars.

Let's say, for example, you'd like to customize your Toolbar so that it only displays buttons that you use most frequently.  Abra Toolkit has you covered.  How about adding a new field to track unique information about your employees or industry?  Abra Toolkit has you covered there too.  In fact, you can completely customize the way Sage Abra HRMS looks and functions so that you can track and record the unique information that's important to your organization.

Your Own Personal HR System

Whether you use every function Sage Abra has to offer or  you only rely on a handful of common tasks every day, you can use Abra Toolkit to customize your Abra HRMS screens, menus, and toolbars for a personal fit.  With the flexibility and security features of Abra Toolkit, you can create customizations for a single user, group of users, or your entire HR department.

If there are features you don't use very often and find that they clutter up your workspace, you can move them around (or remove them completely) so the functions you use most often are prominent and better organized. You can also change the order of panels within menus and rearrange the order of reports that are most important to you. Abra toolkit customization capabilities are available for Abra HR, Abra Payroll, and Abra Train.

HR Actions, a web-based workflow solution for Sage Abra, was introduced earlier this year as an add-on solution for Sage Abra users.  As your partner, we want to ensure that any software purchase is a perfect fit for your organization.  That's why we developed this checklist.  Ask yourself the following questions and you'll soon discover if HR Actions might be a good fit for you.

 

Do you and your organization want to...

 

Eliminate most data entry into Abra's HR module?

Improve service delivery to your workforce?

Simplify transactional processes for managers and transaction approvers?

Provide a tool that will enable HR, managers, and employees to spend more time on the core job and less on "paperwork"?

Automate the approval process with automatic updates to Abra?

Maintain an electronic personnel file for each of your employees?

 

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, you might want to talk with us about HR Actions.  In addition to talking through the features and how they apply to your unique situation, we can provide an ROI spreadsheet that will help you quickly calculate the ROI that HR Actions will provide to your organization.  In most cases, employers find that HR Actions pays for itself in four to eight months.
