CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carmike Cinemas, one of the largest movie theater companies in the U.S., has selected the Kronos Workforce Central suite of workforce management solutions deployed in the Kronos Cloud. Kronos will be used across all locations around the country.
News Facts
- One of the nation's largest motion picture exhibitors, Carmike Cinemas is a U.S. leader in digital cinema and 3-D cinema deployments. Operating 270 theaters with 2,882 screens across 41 states, Carmike continues to grow, and chose to deploy in the Kronos Cloud so it can easily integrate processes with newly acquired cinemas. As a result, Kronos will perform all configuration, maintenance, upgrades, and support of the workforce management solution, enabling the IT department of Carmike Cinemas to focus on other business priorities.
- By replacing a mix of systems as well as manual processes with automated Kronos time and attendance, employee scheduling, and mobile applications, Carmike Cinemas will standardize processes and gain real-time visibility into critical labor data.
- An automated workforce management solution will also help Carmike Cinemas more accurately manage compliance with complex labor laws and regulations that vary across cities and states including overtime, meal breaks, and sickness-related reporting.
- The movie theater company’s workforce will also gain easy access to data through online and mobile applications. This will allow managers to spend less time in the back office and more time addressing customer needs with the ability to approve timecards as well as time-off requests from their mobile devices. Employees can also simply go online or check their mobile devices to view their schedules and other information. All of these benefits are expected to increase Carmike Cinemas’ employee engagement and productivity, leading to improved customer satisfaction.
- Kronos was selected after a thorough evaluation of competing vendors and was chosen based on its market reputation and industry-specific features and functionality, helping address both business and employee needs.
