What is Workforce Management Software?
Workforce management software is a system used by organisations to plan, manage and optimise their workforce. It typically brings together scheduling, time and attendance, absence management and compliance, helping businesses control labour costs while ensuring the right people are in the right place at the right time.
For growing and complex organisations, workforce management software goes beyond basic scheduling. Modern workforce management systems integrate with HR and Payroll platforms, providing real-time workforce visibility, compliance control and operational insight at scale.

An all‑in‑one Workforce Management System
Our workforce management system brings together scheduling, absence, time and attendance in a single, integrated platform.
Empower Employees with Holiday Booking
As part of our workforce management system, employee holiday booking gives teams visibility and control over leave at scale. Employees can view balances, request time off and get instant answers using the built-in AI assistant, reducing approval bottlenecks and improving workforce planning.
By centralising holiday management in one platform, organisations can save time, reduce frustration and maintain accurate workforce coverage across teams and sites.
Holiday Booking System
Manage Sickness with Absence Tracking
Our workforce management platform brings sickness and absence tracking into a single, real-time system - giving leaders visibility across attendance, sick leave and time off in one place.
With built-in analytics, organisations can identify absence trends, monitor patterns across teams or locations, and take targeted action to reduce absenteeism while supporting employee wellbeing at scale.
Absence Management Software
Streamline Scheduling with Rota Management
As part of the PeopleXD Evo workforce management system, rota scheduling helps organisations plan coverage across roles, sites and shifts, while controlling labour costs and compliance.
Automatically generate rosters that take into account demand, staff availability and skill sets. Provide employees with self-service tools to view their rosters and swap shifts independently, fostering a more engaged workforce.
Rota Scheduling
Use HR self service to reduce bottlenecks
Embedded within the workforce management system, HR self service gives employees secure access to the tools they need: from timesheets and clocking in and out to online payslips, holidays and shift swaps.
By empowering employees to manage everyday tasks themselves, organisations can significantly reduce HR admin, improve data accuracy and deliver a consistent experience across devices and locations.
HR Self Service
Drive Strategy with Analytics
Workforce management reporting and analytics provide leaders with a real-time view of workforce performance, cost and change. Track spend-to-date, actual versus planned costs, headcount trends and workforce movement over time.
These insights help organisations anticipate risk, improve forecasting accuracy and make confident workforce decisions as they grow.
Reporting & Analytics
Seamlessly integrate with payroll software
As part of an integrated workforce management platform, time and attendance data flows directly into Payroll software supporting accurate, timely and compliant pay runs.
By connecting workforce and payroll data in one system, organisations can reduce manual handoffs, minimise errors and ensure regulatory compliance as workforce complexity increases.
Payroll Software
Accelerate onboarding and empower new hires
Built into the workforce management system, onboarding tools help organisations deliver a consistent and compliant experience for every new hire. Automated tasks, tailored checklists and role-specific training ensure nothing is missed.
By shortening time-to-productivity and improving early engagement, organisations can scale their workforce with confidence while maintaining control and consistency.

Trusted by organisations managing complex workforces
Boosted HR productivity with mobile self‑service and automated reporting
“The feedback from employees has been that the PeopleXD mobile app has been life changing. If they are booking a holiday, they can make the request on-the-go which managers can approve instantly. Once employees’ working hours are recorded, time calculations are automatically pulled through to PeopleXD payroll. It has massively reduced manual admin, and from a reporting perspective, PeopleXD has enabled us to make informed decisions that are driven by the data”
One system, creating efficiencies and reducing manual admin
"100% the biggest improvement for us has been our payroll. We went for a managed payroll service and the accuracy is a world away from where we were with our previous supplier. It's a much slicker process, both for the people who do the work within Wilmington, and for our employees who don't have to experience all the pitfalls of when things go wrong."
Supporting a 24/7 workforce with fully integrated HR and payroll
“We're using the Access portal more effectively than ever before, integrating our payroll, workforce management, and people management requirements. Access has been instrumental in helping us shape our processes, such as implementing automated policies for probationary and fixed-term contract sick pay.”
CleanEvent Services streamlined workforce processes and scaled efficiently with Access PeopleXD
"That’s what I like about Access; you can provide everything in one place, rather than using different providers for different HR processes."
