CHELMSFORD, Mass., May 9, 2012 – Kronos Incorporated today announced that its workforce management solutions are now used in more than 100 countries around the world.

News Facts

• Kronos is the only workforce management provider to offer truly global coverage for its customers.
• While Kronos solutions are used by many locally owned businesses around the world, multinational organizations face the most complexity in managing a global workforce. Variations in work rules, languages, and currencies force many multinational organizations to deploy systems from multiple vendors or rely on expensive, error-prone custom coding to meet their business requirements. Not only are these systems expensive to maintain, they also fail to provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s labor costs on a global basis. With Kronos, organizations have a one-vendor solution where a consistent standard global product is deployed around the world.
• Kronos multinational customers include organizations such as:  ARAMARK, a global leader in providing award-winning professional services; IKEA, the world’s leading home furnishings company; Kellogg Company, the world’s leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience foods; McDermott International, a leading global engineering and construction company; Meritor, Inc., a leading global supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking, and aftermarket solutions for commercial vehicle and industrial markets; NESTLÉ, the world’s foremost nutrition, health, and wellness company; and Sabre Holdings, a global leader in travel technology; as well as many of the world’s leading companies in the pharmaceutical, computer technology, fast-food restaurant, retail, medical technology, athletic footwear and apparel, automotive, semiconductor, and machinery industries. In fact, more than half of the Fortune 1000 companies use Kronos.
• Kronos solutions are used by organizations in countries such as:  Albania, Angola, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Micronesia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and more than 60 other countries.
• In the past year, Kronos has aggressively expanded its international operations:
  • Acquired UK-based SMART Computer Holdings and its Spanish affiliate SMART Human Logistics, strengthening its presence in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.
  • Established reseller agreements in Brazil, the Middle East, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey.
  • Established additional Greater China offices in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and formed relationships with Accenture, BeyondSoft, NetAGE, and Satyam to provide more complete distribution and implementation support across Greater China.
  • CEO Aron Ain accompanied Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on a trade mission to Brazil to foster stronger business ties between the state and country.
