2024 Timezynk highlights

This year, we've introduced new and improved features to make workforce management and business operations simpler and more efficient. From smarter filters to seamless invoicing integrations, these updates are designed to save you time, reduce risks, and optimize your workflows. In this article, we'll highlight the latest improvements and explore how they can make a real difference for you and your team.

1. Messages as SMS

What’s new?

As a manager, you can now communicate with your team members who have verified phone numbers via SMS, directly within the platform.

How does it help?

In-app messages or emails don’t always reach recipients on time—or at all. With the ability to send SMS, you can ensure quick and reliable communication with your team, especially when time is critical.

  • Connect with your team instantly: Reach your team members quickly via SMS, even if they don’t have the Timezynk app installed.
  • Guarantee timely delivery of urgent messages: Ensure your important messages are received promptly, avoiding the delays or other issues that can happen with in-app notifications or emails.

Real-world example

A staffing company that frequently handles urgent job requests used to rely only on in-app chat or email to reach their personnel. Now, with SMS messaging, they can quickly and

2. Björn Lundén invoice integration

What’s new?

As a manager, you can now automatically transfer generated invoices from Timezynk to Björn Lundén with just a couple of clicks, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free invoicing process.

How does it help?

Manually managing invoices is time-consuming and, if done incorrectly, can lead to mistakes and loss of trust with customers. This integration not only reduces the administrative burden but also almost eliminates the risk of errors, making invoicing quicker and more reliable.

  • Save time: Transfer invoices from Timezynk to Björn Lundén with just a few clicks.
  • Reduce errors: Minimize the risk of mistakes, ensuring accurate and reliable invoicing.
  • Streamline operations: Free up time to focus on growth by eliminating manual invoicing tasks.

Real-world example

A security company, managing multiple invoices each month, previously had to manually enter all invoice data into their invoicing system, Björn Lundén. This process required great attention to detail to avoid errors. With the new integration, they can now enjoy peace of mind, saving time to focus on growing their business.

3. Company-wide tabs

What’s new?

As an account owner, you can now create and share customized views with the entire team. Instead of each team member configuring their own settings, these shared views ensure everyone has quick and consistent access to the information they need.

How does it help?

Sharing views across the team ensures everyone sees the same information in the same way, reducing confusion and improving alignment. Additionally, you save time by eliminating the need for each individual to set up the same view.

  • Save time: Eliminate the need for team members to individually set up their views.
  • Ensure consistency: Make sure that everyone views the schedule from the same perspective.
  • Improve collaboration: Provide shared, team-wide insights for better coordination and decision-making.

Real-world example

At a hospital managed by multiple administrators, scheduling for different departments requires separate tabs. Previously, each administrator and department head had to manually set up their own views. Now, with shared views, these settings can be configured once and shared across the team, saving significant time and effort.

4. Reminder to fill in required information

What’s new?

Now you can specify which employee information is required for your organization, and the system will automatically remind users to complete any missing fields. Whether they’re using the web or the mobile app, users will receive a reminder every time they log in if they haven't filled in the necessary details.

How does it help?

When you hire new employees, it’s crucial to collect important details like mobile numbers, bank account information, and emergency contacts. This feature saves you time by automatically reminding users to fill in the required information, so you no longer have to chase them down for it. It helps ensure all necessary data is collected efficiently, keeping your organization running smoothly.

  • Save time: The system automatically reminds users to provide missing details, so you don’t have to follow up manually.
  • Boost efficiency: All critical employee information (e.g., mobile numbers, bank details, emergency contacts) is collected without delays.
  • Streamline workforce management: Keep your organization running smoothly by making sure necessary data is always up to date.

Real-world example

A staffing company that hires hundreds of seasonal employees faced constant challenges with staff forgetting to fill out required information. Despite frequent reminders from management, critical details were often missing, leading to issues with payroll processing and creating risks during emergencies. The new feature has helped streamline this process, ensuring all necessary data is collected from the start.

5. Briljant Ekonomisystem invoice integration

What’s new?

As a manager, you can now download automatically generated invoices in a format compatible with Briljant Ekonomisystem, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

How does it help?

Manually entering invoice data into Briljant Ekonomisystem is both time-consuming and prone to mistakes. Automating the transfer of invoices from Timezynk to Briljant Ekonomisystem eliminates these issues, freeing up your time and ensuring accurate invoicing.

  • Save time: Download invoices directly in a format compatible with Briljant Ekonomisystem, eliminating manual entry.
  • Reduce errors: Automate the transfer of invoice data, minimizing the risk of mistakes caused by human error.
  • Ensure accurate invoicing: With automated integration, ensure your invoices are correct and avoid costly mistakes.

Real-world example

A staffing company that generates tens of detailed invoices each month used to manually enter invoice data into Briljant Ekonomisystem. With this new integration, they no longer have to do it manually, saving them hours—if not days—of work, while also ensuring the data is always accurate.

6. Improved tag filter: Exclude tags

What’s new?

The Exclude tags feature makes filtering your schedule or employee pool quicker and more efficient by allowing you to exclude specific tags. This is a big time-saver when dealing with a lot of tags.

How does it help?

Instead of selecting all the tags you want to include, you can now simply exclude the ones you don’t need. This makes the process faster and easier, especially when managing many tags.

  • Save time: Skip irrelevant tags without manually selecting every other one.
  • Get a quick overview: Focus on what’s important without the clutter.
  • Avoid mistakes: Fewer chances of missing tags when setting up your filters.

Real-world example

An event and catering company, managing 50 tags, used to spend time selecting 48 tags to filter their schedule. With the new exclude tags feature, they can now simply exclude two tags, cutting down on time and effort.

7. Holidays

What’s new?

As a manager, you can now generate holiday lists not only for Sweden but also for other countries. The list automatically updates two years in advance, saving you time on manual adjustments. For customers in Sweden, there’s no need to worry about salary discrepancies—the new holiday list is fully compatible with Swedish collective agreements.

How does it help?

With holidays visible in the schedule, activating the holiday list in your account clearly communicates when employees have days off or when they can expect higher pay for working on holidays. It also helps filter salary agreements, ensuring that everyone gets paid the correct amount for their work.

  • Improve communication: Clearly inform your team about holiday schedules, so they know when they have time off or if they can expect extra pay for working on holidays.
  • Ensure accurate pay: Make sure that your team is paid correctly for their work during holidays.
  • Utilize multi-country support: Easily activate holiday list for any country you operate in, making it simple to manage holidays outside of Sweden.

Real-world example

Previously, the holiday list was static and only applicable to Sweden. A company operating in Finland had to manually create its own holiday list. With the new and improved version in place, this process is now automated, significantly reducing their administrative workload.

8. Company’s terms in mobile app

What’s new?

Your company’s custom terms are now visible in the mobile app once accepted. Your team can easily revisit and review the internal terms they need to follow, anytime they need a refresher.

How does it help?

Your team always has quick access to the company’s terms they've agreed to, saving you time and reducing the need for constant reminders. No more chasing people down to make sure they’ve read the terms.

  • Remove bottlenecks: With the terms right in the app, there’s no need for extra steps or delays when employees need to reference them. They can just pull them up on the go, keeping everything smooth and simple.
  • Empower employees: By giving employees easy access to the company’s terms, they can take ownership of what they’ve agreed to. This helps everyone stay on the same page

Real-world example

An event and catering company that sets rules of conduct for their employees through company terms was struggling to ensure these rules were consistently followed. Once accepted, the terms weren’t visible again. Now, employees can easily access and review the rules of conduct anytime, anywhere.
