CLEVELAND | Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with TimeManagement Corporation, a labor management solution provider, to offer the TMx™ labor management solution to hospitality customers who use the Eatec® Solutions inventory and procurement system, the InfoGenesis™ POS system and the Visual One™ Property Management System, all by Agilysys.

TMx is a comprehensive labor management software solution that enables hospitality providers to improve the efficiency and productivity of their workforce. The easy-to-use enterprise-wide system includes a variety of features and functionality, such as performance-based scheduling, embedded workflow for employee hiring and multiple time capture solutions. The TMx Data Transfer Module allows the integration of scheduling, time and attendance, human resources and labor forecasting functions into the Agilysys systems for foodservice management, point-of-sale and property management. TMx uses the data fields within a customer's system to create labor forecasts and other performance measures; transfer employee time records; and allocate tips, sales and other collectibles.

"The TMx labor management solution offers a low-risk, high-performance way to address labor costs, which are typically a hospitality customer's largest controllable cost," said Barrs Lewis, president of TimeManagement Corporation. "Having the Agilysys systems for foodservice management, point-of-sale and property management tightly integrated with TMx enables our joint customers to reduce labor costs, improve decision-making and align corporate best practices into their daily activities."

The Agilysys solutions and TMx applications share data — such as sales totals, transactions, meal counts, occupancy and arrivals — enabling improved access to information and reducing redundant data entry. Customers in virtually every type of hospitality setting can benefit from the integrated solution, including restaurants, hotels, resorts, casinos, cruise lines and sporting and entertainment venues.

"In the current economy, hospitality providers are looking for ways to conserve resources while increasing productivity," said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. "With the addition of the TMx labor management solution to our systems for property management, point-of-sale and foodservice management, we can offer a one-stop shop for a complete and integrated back-office solution, particularly in the restaurant and foodservice marketplace. We are pleased to partner with TimeManagement Corporation to offer a truly innovative solution that enables restaurants, hotels, resorts and other hospitality venues to streamline operations, enhance guest service and remain competitive."
