Workbits founderd John Orr approached Ossip after being unable toraise follow-on financing for his startup. Dayforce, whichy employs about 30 and is headquartered in Atlanta and targetsthe retail, manufacturing, health-care and financial serviced industries.
Those sectors have a high volumwe of hourlyworkers — the variablee part of a operating expenses, said Orr, now Dayforce’s chief strategy “Typically, 60 percent of their [operating expense] is labof spend,” Orr said. Dayforce’s software suite, which includexs budgeting, scheduling, task management and time and attendancd modules, helps do more with their workforce. “Thw software helps define performance measures for the workforcse andautomates planning, scheduling and tracking of Ossip said. “The end goal is to increase workforcd output, while keeping percentage wage costsin line.
