Accompanying expansion

Workforce Management with long-term perspectives

Zech Group is now relying on cloud-based ATOSS Staff Efficiency Suite for Building & Real Estate divisions 

The extensively diversified Zech Group SE is introducing the ATOSS Staff Efficiency Suite for around 7,000 members of staff. The cloud-based enterprise solution meets all the demands and requirements of the rapidly expanding group in terms of time management and workforce scheduling. Especially in the construction activities, the mobile workforce management app for time recording will be finding use. The rollout in the operating business areas is scheduled for completion by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
The internationally active Zech Group is rooted in the construction industry. In the course of three generations, the Bremen-headquartered group has expanded rapidly and continuously extended its business fields. Around 300 companies in the Building, Real Estate and Hotel divisions are centrally organized under the umbrella of the strategic management holding Zech Group SE. Based on this structure, the Zech Group covers development, financing, construction, investment and thereby the entire real estate value generation chain. 

The task at hand for Zech Management GmbH, the central service provider for the parent company and the strategic units, was to implement a uniform workforce management solution across the heterogeneous and continuously expanding corporate landscape. Subsequent to an intensive selection process and several reference visits, the modular and scalable ATOSS Staff Efficiency Suite in the cloud was greenlighted. The solution integrates time and attendance management and workforce scheduling and meets all industry-specific requirements without the need for cost-intensive additional programming. The Staff Center for intuitive self services, modules for project time recording, task, cost center and qualification management, in addition to the app for mobile workforce management are included in the package. Superiors and employees both benefit from the self services, for example for submitting absence applications, time recordings and bookings, as well as for time corrections. The teams in the field on the construction sites rely on the mobile app for this purpose, including direct booking to cost centers. Company management is delighted to have greater transparency regarding working hours and expedient analyses. The pilot project is being carried out at TOM Technik, a provider of technical building services. ATOSS consultants are accompanying the sophisticated, company-wide project and supporting the operating areas in their change management. 

As Anette Höchst, Managing Director of Zech Management GmbH, stated: "In ATOSS, we have found a partner capable of mapping the complex and multifaceted requirements of the Zech Group in one single solution. This means that we are also very well equipped for the future - the software supports our expansion course in terms of functionality, technology and performance. “
