Bring powerful, integrated HR and Timekeeping to your Canadian Sage and Acumatica clients.

We’re thrilled to share some truly exciting news that presents a significant opportunity for your business: Workforce Go is expanding into the Canadian market!

For years, Workforce Go has built a strong presence in the U.S., and now we’re tapping into a new market with significant growth potential – right next door! Canada boasts a large and diverse economy with a high concentration of small and medium-sized businesses, precisely the target market for Workforce Go’s solutions. We know there’s consistent demand from our partner community to offer Workforce Go products in Canada. This expansion is a direct answer to that demand, creating a whole new customer base for you to reach.

The Canadian market, like the U.S., is dominated by SMBs. While many small businesses are micro-enterprises (1-9 employees), the small (1-99 employees) and medium-sized (100-499 employees) segments represent a significant opportunity. Our focus for Workforce Go Canada will be on helping these businesses, especially those in key sectors like Construction, Manufacturing, and Distribution.

Crucially, we are also targeting businesses using specific ERP systems that you likely work with regularly: Sage 100, Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, Sage Intacct, and Acumatica. You have deep connections within these industries and with these ERP systems, making this expansion a natural fit for collaboration.

Introducing Workforce Go HR & Time in Canada

Our initial launch in Canada will focus on our powerful HR & Time solutions. Workforce Go is designed to make human resource management easy, working within the parameters of national and local laws, as well as Union regulations. This is particularly important in Canada, especially in sectors like construction which have a strong union presence and growing movements towards prevailing wage requirements. Our platform is built to assist with adhering to federal and provincial labor laws, including employment standards and privacy regulations like PIPEDA, as well as specific industry requirements.

Here’s how the Workforce Go Canada HR & Time offering provides real value to Canadian SMBs, creating opportunities for you:

• Streamlined Time Management: Our timekeeping solution offers real-time data collection, mobile access for field employees, and capabilities to track time for project or job costing. This simplifies time collection and management for organizations, especially those needing to allocate time by project job cost codes and other elements.
• Efficient HR Processes: Eliminate manual tasks related to employee onboarding, time-off requests, and performance reviews. Our solution helps transform HR processes by eliminating redundant data entry and manual tasks. Features include customizable workflows, comprehensive HR document storage, onboarding/offboarding processes, tracking of skills/certifications, and employee self-service options.
• Enhanced Compliance Support: Our platform assists with adhering to Canadian federal and provincial labor laws. 
• Improved Employee Engagement: Provide tools for performance feedback, goal setting, and surveys. Employees gain self-service access to manage their information, access training, and request time off.
• Data Management & Insights: Centralize all employee data into one system for comprehensive analytics, detailed reporting, and informed decision-making. Workforce Go serves as a single source of truth for employee details, ensuring data mirrored in integrated systems is accurate and up-to-date.
• Ease of Use & Accessibility: Our universal interface and mobile access make it easy for new users. As a cloud-based system, it eliminates installation and maintenance headaches.

Seamless Integration with Your Clients’ ERP Systems: A Key Differentiator

A significant advantage of Workforce Go is our commitment to seamless, bidirectional integration with leading ERP systems. This is a key differentiator and a significant advantage for entering the Canadian market, especially for partners like you who work closely with businesses using Acumatica, Sage 100 ERP, Sage 300 CRE, and Sage Intacct.

Our integrations offer numerous benefits:

• Real-Time Data Sync: Employee details, cost centers, projects, tasks, time entries, and other relevant data can synchronize effortlessly and in real-time between Workforce Go and your clients’ ERPs.
• Automated Processes: Eliminate manual data entry, transfers, downloads, and reporting, reducing errors and saving time and effort. Time entries can synchronize directly into the ERP for job costing and payroll management.
• Unified Experience: Provides a unified experience with finance, operations, people, and time information. This helps organizations gain efficiency and insight into important data.
• Modern Functionality for Legacy Systems: For those using Sage 100 or Sage 300 CRE, integrating with our cloud-based system adds modern functionality and can ease potential future transitions.
